Wireless Propaq CS monitor
To start wireless Propaq CS monitor communication with the system
1. Use a Propaq CS monitor that is designated for use within the Acuity System network
in which the patient will be monitored.
2. Verify that the Acuity System network cable is not plugged into the Acuity System
network connector on the monitor.
3. If the monitor is on, take one of these steps:
•
•
4. If the monitor is off, turn on the monitor.
5. If you see a low battery indicator on the top of the Propaq CS monitor screen, connect
the monitor to AC power to charge it, or use another monitor.
6. Verify that ON NETWORK flashes in the upper left corner of the Propaq CS monitor
screen.
This could take a few minutes. If ON NETWORK does not appear, use another
monitor and contact qualified service personnel.
To connect the patient
1. Attach the lead wires to the electrodes.
2. Apply the electrodes to the patient.
3. Attach the cables to the monitor last, to optimize waveform interpretation during the
initial Acuity System learning phase.
If it was not monitoring this patient, turn it off and on again to clear prior trends
and alarm limits.
If it was monitoring this patient and you want to save this patient's trends and
alarm limits, keep it turned on.
