Adjust Limits with STAT SET

When you want to quickly set all alarm limits, the Propaq Encore can calculate
new alarm limits using the patient’s current values. Press the

STAT SET

button in

the Alarms Menu (

SETUP

>

ALARMS

>

STAT SET

). The Propaq Encore activates all

alarms and calculates the limits for all monitored vital signs, except apnea delay.
The monitor performs a mathematical function (addition, subtraction, or
multiplication) on the current value of the vital signs to arrive at the new limits.
The formulas for these calculations are shown in Table 3.
