Alarm Holdoffs

Propaq Audio and Visual Alarm Holdoffs

Software Versions

Propaq Encore 1.20-1.3X
Propaq 100 Series 8.4X

Motion artifact or other factors can cause false vital sign alarms.
To help minimize false alarms, the Propaq briefly delays or
“holds off” triggering alarms for certain vital sign limit
violations.

After the alarm holdoff period begins, if the monitor detects that
the patient’s vital sign has returned to acceptable limits, the
Propaq cancels the alarm holdoff. The next time a vital sign limit
is violated, the Propaq starts a new alarm holdoff period. The
following table summarizes the alarm holdoff periods.

Monitoring Function

HR/PR 3 seconds
SpO

2

RR/BR 5 seconds

Alarm Holdoff Time Period

10 seconds

When the Propaq is connected to the Acuity Central Monitoring
System, Acuity does not receive any alarm indication from the
monitor until this holdoff period expires.

Propaq Audio Alarm Holdoff with Acuity

Software Versions

Propaq Encore 1.20-1.3X
Propaq 100 Series 6.2X-8.4X

When a Propaq is connected to an Acuity System, the audio
alarms at the bedside monitor are delayed for 10 seconds. When
the monitor informs Acuity that an alarm condition has occurred,
Acuity does the following:

• Produces the audio and visual alarm at the Acuity Central
Monitor.

• Sends the bedside monitor a signal that delays the bedside
audio alarm for 10 seconds (the bedside monitor displays the
visual alarm indications without delay).

After the 10-second delay, the bedside audio alarm occurs.

note...

This audio alarm holdoff does

• Neonatal mode (Propaq Encore)

• Apnea (Propaq Encore and Propaq 100 Series)

occur for the following:

Acuity SpO2 Alarm Holdoff

Software Versions

Propaq 100 Series 6.2X-8.3X

When connected to Propaq 100 Series monitors, the Acuity
System may be configured to hold off the visual and audio alarm
for SpO2 at the Acuity Central Monitor for up to 10 seconds. After

the holdoff period expires, the alarms occur at Acuity.

Propaq 6.2X-8.4X/Propaq Encore 1.20-1.3X Reference Guide 5
Update

While this SpO2 alarm holdoff is occurring at Acuity, the
10-second audio alarm holdoff at the bedside Propaq 100 is also

occurring as previously described (see “Propaq Audio Alarm
Holdoff with Acuity”). After the 10-second delay, the bedside
audio alarm occurs. Contact Protocol Systems Technical Support
for more information about this feature.

How to Change Power-On Default Settings

Software Versions

Propaq Encore 1.20-1.3X
Propaq 100 Series 7.XX-8.4X
