Learn Propaq CS Operation with In-Service Mode
You can practice using the Propaq CS monitor with the in-service mode of operation.
The in-service mode cannot be activated while you are monitoring a patient. During in-service mode,
the monitor display and all printouts include the message SIMULATING or SIMULATED DATA.
To practice with your Propaq CS monitor:
1.
Disconnect all patient cables connected to the monitor. You can leave the NIBP cuff connected
to the monitor so you can take NIBP measurements.
2.
If you have been monitoring a patient, turn off the monitor and turn it back on.
If your monitor is programmed so that the NIBP Automatic Mode is selected at powerup,
select one of the Factory Patient Modes as the powerup patient mode (see page 23). Then turn
the monitor off and turn it back on. (The in-service mode is not available if the NIBP
Automatic Mode has been selected.)
3.
From the Main Menu, press
SETUP, WAVE SELECT, INSERVICE
.
The Propaq CS monitor has two sets of simulated patient information. To change between the
sets, from the Main Menu press
SETUP, WAVE SELECT,
and
INSERVICE
again.
While in the in-service mode, you can press any monitor keys (except the
AUTO/MANUAL
key in
the NIBP Menu) to change a function setting. For example, you can change ECG and RESP
waveform sizes, set alarm limits, or set custom settings.
You can also apply the NIBP cuff to yourself and take NIBP measurements.
4.
To exit the in-service mode, turn off the monitor.
If you changed the powerup patient mode in step 2, be sure to restore the appropriate
powerup patient mode according to your local protocol.
Note
The in-service mode is not available if the monitor detects that a sensor has been connected (except for an NIBP cuff)
or the NIBP Automatic Mode has been selected. If the monitor is in in-service mode and you connect a sensor (except for an
NIBP cuff) or press the NIBP AUTO/MANUAL key, the monitor will turn off power to exit the in-service mode, and then turn on in
the normal operating mode.
The pacemaker signal indicators are not displayed in the in-service mode.
