Propaq MD. The Propaq MD is also intended for use by (or on the order of) physicians at the scene of an emergency or in a hospital emergency room, intensive care unit, cardiac care unit, or other similar areas of a hospital.
The patient population will range from newborn (neonate) to adult. ECG Monitoring The Propaq MD is intended for use to monitor and/or record 3-, 5-, or 12-lead ECG waveform and heart rate, and to alarm when heart rate is above or below limits set by the operator. The patient population will range from newborn (neonate) to adult, with and without heart dysfunction.
The patient population will range from newborn (neonate) to adult. Respiration Monitoring The Propaq MD is intended for use to continuously monitor respiration rate and to alarm if the rate falls outside of the range set by the operator. Because the measurement method actually measures respiratory effort, apnea episodes with continued respiratory effort (such as obstructive apnea) may not be detected.
Propaq MD Product Functions Defibrillator Function The Propaq MD contains a direct current (dc) defibrillator capable of delivering up to 200 joules. It may be used in synchronized mode to perform synchronized cardioversion using the patient’s R-wave as a timing reference. The unit uses paddles or disposable, pregelled electrodes for defibrillation.
The ECG bandwidth is user selectable. Electrodes The Propaq MD will defibrillate, cardiovert, and monitor ECG using hands-free therapy electrodes. The Propaq MD will pace using ZOLL hands-free therapy electrodes. Energy Select, Charge and Shock controls are located on the paddles and front panel. When using hands-free therapy electrodes, you must use the controls on the front panel of the unit.

You can use these channels to measure arterial, venous, or intracranial pressures using invasive transducers with 5uV/V/mmHg sensitivity.
• Before you use the Propaq MD unit on a new patient, always turn it off for at least 2 minutes. This clears the previous patient’s trend values, alarm limit settings, and NIBP cuff inflation pressure.
IBP channel. Zeroing the Transducer To ensure that the Propaq MD unit measures pressure accurately, you must zero the transducer before each use. If you change or disconnect a transducer, you must zero the new transducer before use.
Check that the unit is open to atmospheric air and that it is properly connected to the unit, then try zeroing the transducer again. The Propaq MD unit will not zero the transducer if it detects pulsation in the pressure channel, if there is too much noise in the signal, or if transducer’s offset is too great.
MEAN values in the IBP channel’s numeric display and, optionally (if enabled through the unit’s Waveform Select menu) the waveform for that IBP channel: The Propaq MD unit allows you to specify a label that identifies the channel’s IBP measurement, and to select a display format for the numeric display.
