If patient movement interferes with measurements, consider the following possible
solutions:
• be sure the sensor is secure and properly applied
• use a new sensor with fresh adhesive backing
• select a different type of sensor
• move the sensor to a less active site
• set the RESPONSE mode to SLOW
• consider using C-LOCK; see step 9.

“Spot-Check” Monitoring
The SpO
2
Standby Mode allows you to remove the SpO
2
sensor from a patient without having to
disable all alarms or disconnect the SpO
2
sensor cable from the Propaq CS monitor. You can therefore
perform intermittent or “spot-check” SpO
2
monitoring.
1.
While monitoring SpO
2
, remove the SpO
2
sensor from the patient, but leave it connected to
the monitor. When the monitor detects the lack of a pulsatile waveform, it sounds a patient
alarm and displays this menu:
2.
Press
STANDBY
to place SpO
2
into the Standby Mode.
The monitor suspends the SpO
2
alarm tone indefinitely and displays
STANDBY
in place of SpO
2
numerics. SpO
2
remains in the Standby Mode until the SpO
2
sensor is reapplied to a patient. Other
vital sign monitoring is not restricted. By contrast, if you press
SUSPEND
instead of
STANDBY
, the
monitor temporarily suspends all alarm tones; however, the alarm tone resumes after 90 seconds if
the SpO
2
sensor is still disconnected from the patient—see page 53.
3.
To resume SpO
2
monitoring, reapply the SpO
2
sensor to a patient.
The monitor exits the Standby Mode and resumes SpO
2
monitoring
Note
The message STBY on the SpO
2
trend display and trend printouts indicates the monitor was in the SpO
2
Standby
Mode.
SUSPEND STANDBY
