Chapter 3 Monitoring Overview; Propaq M Monitoring Functions - ZOLL Propaq M Operator's Manual

This chapter provides an overview of the Propaq M unit's monitoring functions. It describes the
types of vital sign monitoring that Propaq M provides, and the flexibility that the Propaq M unit
gives you in displaying a patient's vital signs information.

Propaq M Monitoring Functions

The Propaq M unit provides an array of standard, and optional, monitoring functions, and
allows you to view the vital signs measurements that these functions provide in a variety of
formats. The Propaq M unit also allows you to set alarm limits for each monitoring function.
Should a patient's vital signs measurements go outside of these limits, the Propaq M issues an
audible alarm tone and displays visual alarm indications to alert you.
If the Propaq M unit is powered off for less than 2 minutes, all patient monitoring parameter
settings are retained. If the Propaq M unit is powered off for 2 minutes or longer, the unit
operates as if there is a New Patient and all patient-specific parameters (alarm limits, etc.) are
reset to their default values.
The Propaq M unit can monitor the following patient vital signs:
