WARNING Many environmental variables, including patient physiology and
clinical application, can affect the accuracy and performance of the monitor. The
clinician must verify all vital-signs information prior to patient intervention.
WARNING Always check the patient mode (adult, pediatric, or neonate) when
monitoring a new patient. The patient mode determines default alarm limits and
internal algorithm settings. Make sure the monitor has settings that are
appropriate before monitoring the patient.
Directions for Use Introduction 5
WARNING Make sure Acuity patients, and especially those prone to
arrhythmias, are kept under close surveillance. While monitoring patients with
Acuity, the clinician must review all clinical data before implementing therapy. As
with all computerized arrhythmia analysis systems, Acuity cannot replace skilled
care and proper surveillance by a clinician.
WARNING It is possible for Acuity alarms, alerts, or other events to go
unnoticed if clinical personnel are not present at Acuity or if interruptions occur in
power or system operations. To help reduce this possible occurrence, Acuity
must be installed with redundant power supplies and redundant means of
operator surveillance, such as secondary Acuity Central Stations and hallway
message panels.
WARNING The monitor might not meet its performance specifications if stored
or used outside the specified temperature and humidity ranges.
WARNING Use of respiration monitoring by impedance pneumography can
affect the operation of some pacemakers. If pacemaker operation is affected, turn
off respiration pneumography. (See Figure 61 on page 55.)
WARNING Do not connect more than one patient to a monitor.
WARNING Do not connect more than one monitor to a patient.
WARNING During defibrillation, keep discharge paddles away from the monitor
ECG lead wires, electrodes, any other monitor sensors, and other conductive
parts in contact with the patient.
WARNING Do not operate this product in the presence of flammable
anaesthetics or other flammable substances in combination with air or
oxygen-enriched environments. Failure to observe this warning can result in an
explosion.
WARNING Do not use the monitor in a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
suite or a hyperbaric chamber. Such use can cause fire or explosion resulting in
patient injury and monitor damage.
WARNING Do not operate this monitor near equipment that emits strong
electromagnetic or radio-frequency signals. Electronic equipment of this type can
cause electrical interference with monitor operation, which can distort the ECG
signal and prevent accurate rhythm analysis.
WARNING To comply with Federal Communications Commission (FCC) RF
exposure requirements and to avoid exposure to radio-frequency (RF) radiation,
always use the monitor in accordance with the operating conditions and
instructions provided in this manual.
WARNING Pacemaker signals can differ from one pacemaker to the next. The
Association for Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI) cautions that “in
some devices, rate meters may continue to count the pacemaker rate during

6 Introduction Welch Allyn Propaq LT Vital Signs Monitor
WARNING Use only accessories supplied by Welch Allyn or recommended in
the Welch Allyn Products and Accessories guide (810-0409-XX). Use of any other
accessories can result in inaccurate patient data and damage to the equipment.
Always use accessories according to facility standards and the manufacturer’s
recommendations. Always refer to the manufacturer’s instructions.
WARNING Use of Masimo LNOP sensors/cables will not provide protection in
accordance with IEC defibrillation standards when used with this device.
WARNING Use only ECG cables supplied or specified by Welch Allyn. Use of
any other ECG cables can negate defibrillator protection and can create a risk of
patient injury due to shock.
WARNING Frequently inspect—electrically and visually—all cables, sensors, and
electrode wires. Replace any damaged cables, sensors or wires. Failure to
properly inspect and keep in excellent working order all cables, sensors, and
electrode wires can result in hazards to patients and to equipment failure and
damage.
WARNING Always properly connect the electrosurgery return circuit. Improper
circuit connection can cause current to return through monitor electrodes and
probes, creating a burn hazard for patients.
WARNING Always keep patient motion to a minimum. Motion artifact can cause
inaccurate measurement of patient vital signs.
WARNING Carefully route and secure patient cabling, using the supplied
garment clips. Improperly routed and secured cabling can cause the patient to
become entangled in the cables, creating a strangulation hazard.
WARNING When the patient is wearing the monitor or being transported by
stretcher with the monitor connected, always take care to position the monitor
carrying straps on the patient. Be certain that the straps do not and cannot cross
the neck or throat and cause choking, and the straps do not restrict movement of
the patient’s arms or legs.
WARNING Never use a monitor that is not working properly. If the monitor is not
working properly, patient waveforms might be inaccurate or might not be
displayed.
WARNING If the monitor is damaged, or if you see any indication that the
monitor is not operating properly, disconnect it from the patient. Do not return it
to service until it has been inspected and, if necessary, repaired by qualified
service personnel.
WARNING This wireless medical device was tested and, when used with a
metal-free accessory between the monitor and the patient, complies with FCC
RF Exposure (SAR) guidelines. The use of accessories containing metal may not
ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines. Specific Absorption Rate
(SAR) is a measurement of radio frequency energy. The FCC permits a maximum
SAR value of 1.6 mW/g. The highest SAR value for this patient monitor, when
worn by a patient in accordance with the directions for use, is 0.560 mW/g.
WARNING High-power radars are allocated as primary users of the bandwidth
between 5.25 GHz and 5.35 GHz and between 5.65 GHz and 5.85 GHz. These
radars can cause interference with this device and can damage this device.

HIPAA considerations
Each medical facility is responsible for creating and enforcing policies and procedures to
guarantee compliance with the regulations defined in 45 CFR 160-164 of the Health
Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) of 1996.
The Propaq LT Monitor, the Large Color Display Interface, the Propaq LT Monitor
Configuration Utility, and the Propaq LT Monitor AutoPrint Utility incorporate security
features that support your implementation of the HIPAA requirements for ensuring that
patient information is kept private and confidential.
Monitor
• Clinicians can lock the monitor display to prevent the display of patient vital signs. For
patient protection when the monitor display is locked, the display is restored instantly
in the event of a button press (unless button-pad lock-out is enabled), an alarm or an
alert.
• Clinicians can lock the monitor buttons to prevent any unauthorized access to the
monitor controls. To protect the patient when the buttons are locked, access to the
buttons is restored instantly in the event of an alarm or an alert.
• No physiological data transmitted by radio from the monitor is in clear text. All data
sent is encoded using Welch Allyn's proprietary PSI Communications Protocol and
can only be decrypted by a Welch Allyn Acuity Central Station residing on the local
Welch Allyn FlexNet network. By default, data transmitted using the 802.11a
standard is also encrypted using AES (Advanced Encryption Standard).
Configuration utility
The Configuration Utility never contains patient data.
AutoPrint utility
• All patient data is stored in a Welch Allyn proprietary data format which is readable
only by machine.
• All patient data is deleted from the PC when it is sent to the printer.

working properly. If Step 4 does not complete as described, remove the monitor from
service and have it examined by a qualified service person.
To turn on the monitor
1. Press and hold until a tone sounds.
2. A tone sounds as the green, yellow, and red lights turn on and off. This occurs twice.
3. The splash screen appears, identifying the product and displaying the message
“Diagnostics in progress”. The green light turns on and off quickly while the low tone
sounds, the yellow light turns on and off quickly while the medium tone sounds, and
the red light turns on and off quickly while the loud tone sounds.

Utility to configure the monitor” on page 114).
• A new configuration is downloaded from Acuity.
About the charging/communications cradle
When the charging/communication cradle (the cradle) is attached to AC power (or to
vehicle DC power) and the monitor is seated in the cradle, the cradle does the following:
• Recharges the monitor battery, whether patient monitoring is occurring or not.
• Powers the monitor, conserving the charge on the monitor battery.
• (If the cradle has the USB data transfer option) enables data transfer between a
PC and a monitor. See “About the USB data transfer option” on page 15.

Cradle
The cradle is intended to hold the monitor when the patient is in bed or is other wise
stationary. The cradle can sit on a flat surface near the patient or attach to the bed rail
(using the bed-rail hook).
If the monitor is in the cradle and the AC power adapter is connected to the cradle, the
monitor runs on AC power rather than battery power. This keeps the monitor battery at full
charge so that the monitor can then run on battery power when it is removed from the
cradle to accompany the patient away from the bed.
The cradle can be connected to AC power at all times, whether the monitor is present or
not.
About the USB data transfer option
A cradle configured with the optional USB communication port and connected to a PC
with the Propaq LT Configuration Utility and the Propaq LT AutoPrint Utility can be used
for the following:
• Creating custom monitor configurations on the PC and downloading them to any
number of monitors. (See “Monitor configuration” on page 101.)
• Uploading the configuration file from the monitor to the PC.
• Uploading patient data from the monitor to the PC for printing. (See “Printing
patient data” on page 95.)
Setting up the cradle
1. Place the cradle on a table or shelf, or hang it on a bed rail.
WARNING Place the cradle so that it cannot fall on the patient.
Caution Locate the cradle near the patient but not so close that it interferes
with patient care.

Certain properties of each display type can also be configured. See “Display Format” on
page 127.
To view a tabular display if no tabular trends format is specified
1. Access the Setup menu. (See “To access the setup menus” on page 35.)
2. Highlight Trends and press .
Note
All valid display configurations include at least one waveform format.
Timing out the display and the back light
To conserve battery run life, the monitor display and the back light can be configured to
turn off if no operator activity (that is, a button press) is detected for a specified number of
minutes.
• When the display is off, no patient data is visible.
• When the back light is off, patient data is visible only under direct light.
If the display and the back light are turned off due to a time out, they turn on again
immediately when an alarm or alert occurs or, if the buttons lock-out is not
enabled, when you press any monitor button.
Note
The monitor configuration determines whether the time-out feature is enabled or
disabled, and defines the default time-out period if it is enabled. If the feature is enabled in
the configuration, you can temporarily change the time-out period or disable the time out
through the Setup -> Timings menu.
Directions for Use Overview of monitor operation 21
Locking out the display, back light, and buttons
If lock-outs are enabled, you can lock out one or more of the following elements:
Buttons To prevent unauthorized use
Back Light To extend the battery run life
Display To prevent unauthorized viewing of patient information
The monitor configuration defines which of these, if any, can be locked out. For
information on enabling or disabling lock-outs for these elements, see “Monitor
configuration” on page 101.
To lock out the configured elements
Hold down , , and simultaneously for 5 seconds.
To unlock the configured elements
Hold down , , and simultaneously for 5 seconds.
Note
Alarms and alerts immediately unlock any locked elements.
Large color display interface
Using the Large Color Display Interface (‘interface box’) optional accessory, you can
display patient vital signs from the monitor on a full-size screen. This screen is typically
mounted on a wall within one or two meters of the patient’s bed. It receives video signals
from the cradle via a VGA cable.
Large color display configuration options
• If the interface box is mounted on the large screen (Figure 15), the screen must be
within about 3 meters of the cradle.
• If the interface box is mounted on the cradle (Figure 16), the distance between the
box and the screen is limited by the length of the VGA cable.
• If the interface box, the cradle, and the large screen are mounted together (Figure 17),
the distance from them to the patient’s bed is limited by the length of the SpO
sensor cable, the ECG cable, and the NIBP air hose (whichever is shortest).
Note
Note
The various configurations are not interchangeable. Each requires a unique
combination of screws, USB and power cables, and VGA cable.
If the interface box is attached to the cradle, the bed rail hook cannot be used.

To change between 4-waveform and 9-waveform views, insert a wire into the small hole
in the interface box near the USB connector.
If you change the display format at least 15 seconds before shutting off power to the
interface box, the newly selected display becomes the default display when the interface
box is next powered on.

Installing the interface box
The Large Color Display Interface receives DC power from the AC power adapter and
vital-signs data from the cradle. It provides DC power to the cradle and the video signal to
the large display.

When the interface box is attached to the cradle, the default power and USB cables
(references A and B in Table 6, “Cables and AC power adapter”) connect the interface box
and the cradle. (See Figure 17 on page 23.)
If the interface box and the cradle are not attached, longer cables—references C and D in
Table 6, “Cables and AC power adapter”—are used.
The AC power adapter (reference E) is shipped with the cradle.
Note
The AC power adapter used with the Propaq CS monitor or the Propaq Encore
monitor will not power the interface box.
When the interface box is not used, the AC power adapter is attached to the cradle. When
the interface box is used, the AC power adapter is connected to it and not to the cradle.
