Propaq CS Directions for Use 31
Monitoring
ECG/
RESP
14.
Press
NEXT
and
CHANGE
as desired to adjust the display.
HR/PR TONE
Sets heart tone loudness to LOW, MEDIUM, HIGH, or OFF.
If SpO
2
is monitored, tone pitch varies with the SpO
2
value.
PACER DISPLAY
Turns on and off the pacer indicator in the ECG waveform.
If the patient has a pacemaker, you may want to turn on the pacer indicator
(see page 32).
ECG BANDWIDTH
Selects the bandwidth for displayed and printed data.
MONITOR is 0.5-40 Hz (Adult mode) or 0.5-120 Hz (Pediatric and
Neonatal mode).
Monitor Mode filters out extraneous noise and artifact to provide a more
stable display.
EXTENDED is 0.05-40 Hz (Adult mode) or 0.05-120 Hz (Pediatric and
Neonatal mode).
Extended Mode is a higher-resolution setting that allow more detailed
analysis.
Always use Extended Mode when observing ST segment morphology on
the display or printer. Although Monitor Mode is useful to minimize
baseline wander due to artifact, ST segments can be distorted in Monitor
Mode. This can potentially cause underestimation of ST elevation and
overestimation of ST depression. Although the monitor does not have
automated ST segment monitoring, ST segments may be accurately
displayed and printed in Extended Mode.
RESP LEAD
Selects the RESP lead: Ld1 (RA-LA) or Ld2 (RA-LL). RESP lead
selection is independent of ECG lead selection.
Choose the RESP lead that gives you the best signal. If neither signal is
adequate, experiment with nonstandard electrode placement such as
placing the RA and LA electrodes on the respective mid-axillary lines just
above the level of the nipples.
RESP MONITORING
Turns RESP on or off.
15.
Set alarms according to your facility’s standards.
Use the ECG Filter to Display a Better Waveform
If the ECG waveform appears unclear or distorted, make sure the monitor ECG filter is properly set to
reduce interference from your facility’s ac power frequency. To check the filter:
1.
Press
SETUP, MORE, MORE, SERVICE, YES
to access the Service Menu.
2.
Press
MORE, MORE, SETTINGS
to display the Settings Menu.
3.
If the FILTER setting does not match your ac power frequency (60 or 50 Hz), press
NEXT
to
highlight FILTER, then press
CHANGE
to change settings.
Contact a qualified service person if you have questions.
