About this Update

This Update describes the changes in the operation of the Propaq® CS monitor (software version 3.3X) and Propaq® Encore monitor (software version 2.3X). These changes are primarily associated with the Pulse Oximetry (SpO2) options that are available for use with the Propaq CS and Propaq Encore monitors:

•Masimo® Pulse Oximetry option (motion tolerant).

•Nellcor® Pulse Oximetry option (motion tolerant).

•Nellcor® Pulse Oximetry option (without motion tolerance).

For all other operating information for these monitors, refer to these documentation kits:

•	810-1102-XX	Propaq CS 3.XX Directions For Use Kit
•	810-0867-XX	Propaq Encore 2.XX Reference Guide Kit

English (Cont.)

This monitor is to be operated by qualified personnel only. The operator of this monitor should read this entire manual, the monitor Reference Guide or Directions For Use, and all accessory Directions For Use before operating the monitor.

This monitor should only be repaired by qualified service personnel. The operator should not attempt to open the monitor case or perform any maintenance on the monitor except for procedures explicitly described in this manual that can be performed by operators such as inspection and cleaning.

When using a power adapter with this monitor, be sure to connect the power adapter to a threewire, grounded, hospital-grade receptacle. Do not under any circumstances attempt to remove the grounding conductor from the power plug of the power adapter. Do not plug the power adapter into an extension cord. If there is any doubt about the integrity of the protective earth ground of the receptacle for the power adapter, do not plug in the power adapter; operate the monitor only on battery power. Contact your biomedical engineering department for assistance in identifying the proper power receptacle and making appropriate power connections.

Place the Propaq monitor and accessories in locations where they cannot harm the patient if they fall from their shelf or mount. Lift the monitor only by its handle; do not lift it by any attached cables.

Safe interconnection between the Propaq monitor and other devices must comply with applicable medical systems safety standards such as IEC 60601-1-1. Within certain governmental jurisdictions, all interconnected accessory equipment must be labeled by an approved testing laboratory. After interconnection with accessory equipment, risk (leakage) current and grounding requirements must be maintained.

As with all medical equipment, carefully route the patient cabling to reduce the possibility of patient entanglement or strangulation.

SpO2 Monitoring

Warning

Oxygen saturation measurements using pulse oximetry are highly dependent on proper placement of the sensor and patient conditions. Patient conditions such as shivering and smoke inhalation may result in erroneous oxygen saturation readings. If pulse oximetry measurements are suspect, verify the reading using another clinically accepted measurement method, such as arterial blood gas measurements on a co-oximeter.

Tissue damage can be caused by incorrect application or use of a sensor (e.g., wrapping the sensor too tightly, applying supplemental tape, failing to periodically inspect the sensor site, leaving a sensor on too long in one place). Refer to the Directions for Use provided with each sensor for specific instructions on application and use, and for description, warnings, cautions, and specifications.

Sensors exposed to ambient light while not applied to a patient can exhibit semi-normal saturation readings. Be sure the sensor is securely placed on the patient and check its application often to ensure accurate readings.

Inaccurate measurements may be caused by venous pulsations.
