Co2; Respiration; Ferromagnetic Equipment; Battery - ZOLL Propaq MD Operator's Manual

When using the monitor with anesthetics, nitrous oxide or high concentrations of oxygen,
connect the gas outlet to a scavenger system.
Use only Oridion Microstream CO
Microstream CO
lines.
If using the CO
or when it becomes occluded.
CO readings and respiratory rate can be affected by sensor application errors, certain ambient

environmental conditions, and certain patient conditions.

Respiration

Do not operate the Propaq MD with any other monitor with respiration measurements on the
same patient. The two devices could affect the respiration accuracy.
The device should not be used as an apnea monitor.

Ferromagnetic Equipment

Biomedical equipment and accessories, such as ECG electrodes, cables, and oximeter probes
contain ferromagnetic materials. Ferromagnetic equipment must not be used in the presence of
high magnetic fields created by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) equipment.
The large magnetic fields generated by an MRI device can attract ferromagnetic equipment
with an extremely violent force, which could cause serious personal injury or death to persons
between the equipment and the MRI device.

Battery

Although the device can operate with auxiliary power alone, ZOLL strongly recommends that
you operate the unit with a battery installed at all times. Operating the unit with a battery
provides a backup in case of ac power shortage, and results in faster charge time. The battery
can be automatically recharged while it is installed in the unit. Keep a fully charged spare
battery pack with the defibrillator at all times.
Test battery packs regularly. A battery that does not pass the ZOLL charger's capacity test
might cause the Propaq MD unit to shut down unexpectedly.
If the Low Battery indication occurs at any time during operation, immediately replace the
battery pack.
If the LOW BATTERY icon appears, plug the Propaq MD unit into a power source or install a
fully charged battery pack. When the warning low battery shutdown prompt appears,
immediately replace the battery pack with a fully charged pack or plug the Propaq MD unit into
a power source, as unit shut down due to a low battery condition is imminent.
If mistreated, a battery pack might explode. Do not disassemble a battery pack or dispose of it
in fire.
