You must press the LIFEPAK 5’s SYNC button and check for appropriate synchronization markers on the Propaq Encore before each attempt at cardioversion. Welch Allyn cannot guarantee the delay from the sync marker to the defibrillator discharge. A fault in the cable between the Propaq Encore and the defibrillator, or unplugging the cable, will prevent showing markers on the Propaq and can prevent setting the defibrillator to synchronized mode.

Encore ECG sensitivity set to 1 mV/cm, compare the letter ‘V’ with the height of the R-wave, which should be at least 5 mm tall. 3. Connect the Propaq Encore end of the Welch Allyn Defib Sync cable to the Propaq’s right side panel DEFIB SYNCHRO connector.
You must press the LIFEPAK 6s SYNC button and check for appropriate synchronization markers on the Propaq Encore before each cardioversion. Welch Allyn cannot guarantee the delay from the sync marker to the defibrillator discharge. A fault in the cable between the Propaq Encore and the defibrillator, or unplugging the cable, will prevent showing markers on the Propaq and can prevent setting the defibrillator to synchronized mode.
