4. Device shows up to six waveforms at once (etCO2, IBP, and ST must all be

turned on for six waveforms)

a. To Change Waveforms

i.

Press

the

Setup button

ii.

Select

Waveforms

iii. The waveforms 1 through 6 are configured through the pull-

down

menus.

iv. Set the amplitude for each waveform according to preference

and signal strength. Set the sweep speed according to

preference

and

patient.

v.

Select

OK to save.

NOTE:

The RESP and CO2 sweep speed values are not configurable, and only

ECG leads are available for waveform 1.

NOTE:

This is a hardwired device. The patient must be

discontinued from monitoring before you can discharge

the patient from the Patient List at Acuity. Also as this is a

hardwired device, there is no end-tele at Acuity for this device.

NOTE:

The monitor sends a 12-lead resting ECG automatically

to Acuity when taken.

To Admit A Patient Hard-Wired

1. Ensure that you connect the proper monitor network cable to the proper

wall jack. There are two hardwired site labels: a blue one used for the

Propaq monitor serial cables, and a green one used for the Ethernet

devices. Once the Ethernet cable is connected to the wall jack, connect

the other end of the Ethernet cable into the back of the device.

connection icon

will appear in the lower right hand corner of the

screen.

Appears when there is a loss of connection.

information menu option is not given.

NOTE:

When the device is

connected to Acuity, the Arrhythmia/ST menus are not available on the

device as this is done by Acuity.

4. Once connected, the room number is set by the system bed file

and cannot be changed at the device or Acuity.
