    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.
  • Page 17: Manual Defibrillation

    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.
  • Page 18: Non-Invasive Blood Pressure Monitoring

    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.
  • Page 19: Co2 Monitoring

    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.
  • Page 20: Ecg Monitoring

    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.

  • Page 25: Defibrillation

    Warnings Defibrillation The ZOLL Propaq MD can deliver 200 joules of electrical energy. If this electrical energy is not discharged properly, as described in the this manual, the electrical energy could cause personal injury or death to the operator or bystander.
  • Page 26: Pacing

    In some instances the beat may appear as a relatively normal looking QRS pulse. Mechanical capture can be verified by checking for signs of increased blood flow i.e., reddening of the skin, palpable pulses, increased blood pressure, etc. Continuously observe 1-16 www.zoll.com 9650-0802-06 Rev.

    Warning! This device can only be used for external pacing of patients and cannot be used for internal pacing. Do not connect internal pacing lead wires to the Propaq MD defibrillator. Pulse Oximeter Keep the ZOLL finger probe clean and dry.
  • Page 28: Noninvasive Blood Pressure

    Blood pressure measurement results may be affected by the position of the patient, his or her physiological condition and other factors. Substitution of a component different from that supplied by ZOLL (e.g., cuff, hoses, etc.) may result in measurement error. Use only ZOLL-approved cuffs and hoses. To avoid the risk of intravenous line misconnection and possible introduction of air into a patient’s blood, do not...

    If the Low Battery indication occurs at any time during operation, immediately replace the battery pack. If the LOW BATTERY icon appears, plug the Propaq MD unit into a power source or install a fully charged battery pack. When the warning low battery shutdown prompt appears, immediately replace the battery pack with a fully charged pack or plug the Propaq MD unit into a power source, as unit shut down due to a low battery condition is imminent.
  • Page 30: Operator Safety

    NFORMATION Operator Safety The Propaq MD can deliver 200 joules of electrical energy. If this electrical energy is not discharged properly, as described in this manual, the electrical energy could cause personal injury or death to the operator or bystanders.
  • Page 31: Patient Safety

    To ensure patient safety, do not place the monitor in any position that might cause it to fall on the patient. To ensure patient safety, connect the Propaq MD only to equipment with circuits that are electrically isolated. Use only high-quality ECG electrodes. ECG electrodes are for rhythm acquisition only; you cannot use ECG electrodes for defibrillation or pacing.
