Propaq CS Directions for Use 19
Setup
Prepare the Propaq CS Monitor for a New Patient
Warning
Before you use a Propaq CS monitor on a new patient, always turn it off for a few seconds, then turn it on
again. This clears the prior patient’s trend values, alarm limit settings, and NIBP cuff inflation target.
1.
Press the gray recessed MONITOR button on the right side of the monitor to turn the monitor
off (if it is on). Press it again to turn the monitor on. The monitor displays the powerup screen
for about 10 seconds, then displays the Main Menu. The monitor is in the powerup patient
mode with the associated settings.
2.
Confirm that the monitor emits a tone. If the monitor has SpO
2
, listen for two tones and
confirm both speakers are working.
Note
Check the battery voltage level on the powerup screen (or check it on the Time/Day window: Home,
SETUP, MORE, MORE). If the battery voltage is 7.4V or less or a low battery message is displayed, connect the
monitor to an ac power adapter to recharge the battery (see page 24). Connecting the adapter does not interrupt
patient monitoring.
3.
Confirm the monitor is in the correct patient mode according to the patient’s age. If the patient
mode is not correct, from the Main Menu press
SETUP, MORE, CHANGE
to access the Patient
Mode window:
4.
Based on the patient’s age, press
NEONATAL
,
PEDIATRIC
, or
ADULT
. When the confirmation
window appears, press
YES
to confirm your selection.
Whenever you change the patient mode, the alarm limit settings, maximum NIBP cuff inflation
pressures, and internal computations are automatically changed to the defaults for that patient mode.
See page 23 for information about preset Factory patient modes or programmable Custom patient
modes.
Note
If you change the patient mode, the CO
2
alarm limits in the new mode might vary slightly from the
originally-programmed CO

alarm limits for the new mode. Check the CO
2
alarm limits.
