Propaq M Indications for Use
The Propaq M is intended for use by trained medical personnel who are familiar with basic
monitoring, vital sign assessment, and the use of the Propaq M. The Propaq M 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
usage may be in an ambulance or at the scene of an emergency. It is also intended to be used
during the transport of patients. The Propaq M will be used whenever it is required to monitor
any of those functions that are included (as options) in the device. The Propaq M unit can be
used on pediatric patients (as described in the following table) and on adult patients (21 years of
age or older) with and without heart dysfunction.
Pediatric Patient SubpopulationApproximate Age Range
Newborn (neonate)Birth to 1 month of age.
Infant1 month to 2 years of age.
Child2 to 12 years of age.
Adolescent12 to 21 years of age.
ECG Monitoring
The Propaq M 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.
Non-Invasive Blood Pressure Monitoring
The Propaq M unit’s NIBP option is intended for use to make non-invasive measurements of
arterial pressure and heart rate, and to alarm if either parameter is outside of the limits set by the
user. Measurements are made using an inflatable cuff on the patient's arm or leg. The patient
population will range from newborn (neonate) to adult.
1-6www.zoll.com 9650-000820-01 Rev. K
Temperature Monitoring
The Propaq M is intended for use to make continuous temperature measurements of rectal,
esophageal, or surface temperatures, and to alarm if the temperature is outside of the limits set
by the user. The patient population will range from newborn (neonate) to adult.
SpO2 Monitoring
The Propaq M pulse CO-oximeter, with Masimo Rainbow® SET® technology, is intended for
use for continuous noninvasive monitoring of functional oxygen saturation of arterial
hemoglobin (SpO
saturation (SpMet), total hemoglobin (SpHb), oxygen content (SpOC), pleth variability index
(PVI), and/or perfusion index (PI). The pulse CO-oximeter and accessories are indicated for
use on adult, pediatric, and neonatal patients during both no motion and motion conditions, and
for patients who are well or poorly perfused, in hospitals, hospital-type facilities, or in mobile
environments.
Respiration Monitoring
The Propaq M 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. It is not intended to be used as an apnea monitor. The
patient population will range from newborn (neonate) to adult.
The Propaq M is intended for use to make continuous noninvasive measurement and
monitoring of carbon dioxide concentration of the expired and inspired breath and breath rate.

Invasive Pressure Monitoring
The Propaq M is intended for use to display and make continuous invasive pressure
measurements from any compatible pressure transducer. The primary intended uses are arterial
blood pressure, central venous pressure and intracranial pressure monitoring. Any contraindications of the particular transducer selected by the user shall apply. The patient population
will range from newborn (neonate) to adult.
12-Lead Analysis
The 12-lead ECG Analysis is intended for use in acquiring, analyzing and reporting ECG data,
and to provide interpretation of the data for consideration by caregivers. The interpretations of
ECG data offered by the device are only significant when used in conjunction with caregiver
overread as well as consideration of all other relevant patient data. The 12-lead ECG Analysis
is intended for use on adults (> 18 years of age).
9650-000820-01 Rev. KPropaq M Operator’s Guide1-7
Chapter 1 General Information
Propaq M Product Functions
ECG Monitoring
The patient’s ECG is monitored by connecting the patient to the unit via a 3-, 5-, or 12-lead
patient cable. The ECG waveform is presented on the display along with the following
information:
• averaged heart rate, derived by measuring R to R intervals
• lead selection - I, II, III, aVR, aVL, aVF, V1, V2, V3, V4, V5, V6 (with ECG cable).
Propaq M models use an easily replaced rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack (the SurePower
II Battery Pack). A new, fully charged battery pack typically delivers more than 8 hours of ECG
monitoring. Use of other functions (such as higher screen brightness or shorter NIBP intervals)
reduces this time.
When a LOW BATTERY icon appears on the display and the unit emits three beeps in
conjunction with the displayed battery icon, the battery must be replaced and recharged.
You can charge the battery by either of the following methods:
• Internal charging — plug the Propaq M into an auxiliary power adapter to automatically
begin charging the installed battery pack. The front panel battery indicator operates as
follows:
When the indicator is:It means:
Steady yellowBattery is charging.
Steady greenBattery is charged.
Alternating yellow and
green
Not litNo battery in device.
The charge state cannot be
determined or a battery charging
fault has been detected.
Note:Upon power up, it takes approximately 45 seconds for the LEDs on the battery to
accurately display run time.
• External charging — use the ZOLL SurePower Battery Charger with the Propaq M/MD
Charger Adaptor to charge the battery pack and test the battery’s capacity. For details, refer
to the SurePower II Battery Pack Guide.
The Recalibration LED icon () lights for approximately 10 seconds (after you press and
release the Display button) if the battery needs to be calibrated. If the Recalibration LED lights,
the runtime indicator will not display run time for that battery. For best performance of the
battery, you should recalibrate the battery as soon as possible.
To manually recalibrate the SurePower II Battery Pack, you can insert the battery into the
SurePower Charger Station and perform a Manual Test (for more information, see the ZOLL
SurePowerCharger Station Operator’s Guide).
After you recalibrate the battery, the Recalibration LED will only flash when you press the
Display button.

personnel.
• Follow all recommended maintenance instructions. If a problem occurs, obtain service
immediately. Do not use the monitor until it has been inspected by appropriate personnel.
• The Propaq M unit might not perform to specifications when stored at the upper or lower
extreme limits of storage temperature and then immediately put into use. The Propaq M unit
should not be stored or used outside of the environmental limits provided in Appendix A of
this manual.
• Avoid using the Propaq M adjacent to, or stacked on, other equipment. If unavoidable,
verify that the unit operates normally in this configuration before clinical use.
• The Propaq M unit should be installed and put into service according to the EMC
information in Appendix A of this manual.
• The use of transducers and cables other than those specified in this manual and related
Propaq M option manual inserts may result in increased emissions or decreased immunity of
the Propaq M.
• Do not use or place the unit in service if the Ready For Use indicator (at the upper right of
the front panel) displays a red circle with a line through it.
• Carefully route patient cables to avoid tripping over them, or inadvertently pulling the unit
onto the patient.
• Always inspect the unit for damage if it has been dropped.
• Only authorized personnel should use the Supervisor menus.
• If uncertain about the accuracy of any measurement, first check the patient’s vital signs by
alternate means, and then make sure the monitor is functioning correctly.
• Before disposing equipment, in order to avoid contaminating or infecting personnel, the

ECG Monitoring
• Implanted pacemakers might cause the heart rate meter to count the pacemaker rate during
incidents of cardiac arrest or other arrhythmias. Dedicated pacemaker detection circuitry
may not detect all implanted pacemaker spikes. Check the patient's pulse; do not rely solely
on heart rate meters. Patient history and physical examination are important factors in
determining the presence of an implanted pacemaker. Pacemaker patients should be
carefully observed. See “Pacemaker Pulse Rejection:” on page A-3 of this manual for
disclosure of the pacemaker pulse rejection capability of this instrument.
• Use only ECG electrodes that meet the AAMI standard for electrode performance
(AAMI EC-12). Use of electrodes not meeting this AAMI standard could cause the ECG
trace recovery after defibrillation to be significantly delayed.
• Do not place electrodes directly over an implanted pacemaker.
• The Propaq M unit detects ECG electrical signals only. It does not detect a pulse (effective
circulatory perfusion). Always verify pulse and heart rate by physical assessment of the
patient. Never assume that the display of a nonzero heart rate means that the patient has a
pulse.
• Excessive artifact can result due to improper skin preparation of the electrode sites. Follow
skin preparation instructions in Chapter 6: “Monitoring ECG.”
• Equipment such as electrocautery or diathermy equipment, RFID readers, electronic article
surveillance (EAS) systems, or metal detectors that emit strong radio frequency signals can
cause electrical interference and distort the ECG signal displayed by the monitor, thereby
preventing accurate rhythm analysis. Ensure adequate separation between such emitters, the
device, and the patient when performing rhythm analysis.
• Shock Hazard: Use of accessories, other than those specified in the operating instructions,
may adversely affect patient leakage currents.
• Certain line-isolation monitors may cause interference on the ECG display and may inhibit
heart rate alarms.
Warnings
Pulse Oximeter
• Keep the ZOLL finger probe clean and dry.
• SpO
tricuspid regurgitation or obstructed venous return.
• SpO

• Tissue damage can result if sensors are applied incorrectly, or left in the same location for an
extended period of time. Move sensor every 4 hours to reduce possibility of tissue damage.
• Do not use any oximetry sensors during MRI scanning. MRI procedures can cause
conducted current to flow through the sensors, causing patient burns.
• Do not apply SpO
sound when the arterial circulation is cut off during NIBP measurements, and may affect
SpO
• In some instances, such as obstructed airway, the patient's breathing attempts may not
produce any air exchange. These breathing attempts can still produce chest size changes,
creating impedance changes, which can be detected by the respiration detector. It is best to
use the pulse oximeter whenever monitoring respirations, to accurately depict the patient's
respiratory condition.

Chapter 1 General Information
Noninvasive Blood Pressure
• Only a physician can interpret pressure measurements.
• 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 modify the NIBP system or hoses with Luer Lock adapters.
• Do not use a blood pressure cuff on the limb being used for IV infusion or for SpO
monitoring.
• Accurate pressure readings may not be achieved on a person experiencing arrhythmias,
shaking, convulsions or seizures. Medication may also affect pressure readings. The correct
size cuff is essential for accurate blood pressure readings.
• Blood pressure hoses must be free of obstructions and crimps.
• If the patient’s cuff is not at heart level, an error in measurement may result.
• When monitoring blood pressure at frequent intervals, observe the cuffed extremity of the
patient for signs of impeded blood flow.
• Do not monitor one patient’s NIBP while monitoring another patient’s ECG.
• Blood pressure measurement may be inaccurate if taken while accelerating or decelerating
in a moving vehicle.
• If an NIBP measurement result is questionable or “motion” indication is displayed, repeat
the measurement. If the repeated measurement result is still questionable, use another blood
pressure measurement method.
• Do not use the NIBP on cardiopulmonary bypass patients.

IBP
CO
• To ensure compatibility and electrical safety, accessory pressure sensors should comply with
ANSI/AAMI BP-22 and IEC 60601-2-34 for IBP or ANSI/AAMI NS28 for ICP.
• Follow instructions supplied with any accessory pressure sensor regarding calibration and
removal of trapped air.
• Avoid touching metal parts of any transducer while it is in contact with the patient.
• Do not reuse any components that are labeled for single use only.
• Transducers should be rated to withstand an accidental drop of at least a meter onto a hard
surface.
• Transducers that are subject to immersion in liquids should be rated as watertight.

Respiration
• Do not operate the Propaq M with any other monitor with respiration measurements on the
same patient. The two devices could affect the respiration accuracy.
• The device should not be used as an apnea monitor.
Ferromagnetic Equipment
Biomedical equipment and accessories, such as ECG electrodes, cables, and oximeter probes
contain ferromagnetic materials. Ferromagnetic equipment must not be used in the presence of
high magnetic fields created by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) equipment.
The large magnetic fields generated by an MRI device can attract ferromagnetic equipment
with an extremely violent force, which could cause serious personal injury or death to persons
between the equipment and the MRI device.
Battery
• Although the device can operate with auxiliary power alone, ZOLL strongly recommends
that you operate the unit with a battery installed at all times. Operating the unit with a
battery provides a backup in case of AC power shortage, and results in faster charge time.
The battery can be automatically recharged while it is installed in the unit. Keep a fully
charged spare battery pack with the monitor at all times.
• Test battery packs regularly. A battery that does not pass the ZOLL charger’s capacity test
might cause the Propaq M unit to shut down unexpectedly.
• 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 M 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 M unit
into a power source, as unit shut down due to a low battery condition is imminent.
• If mistreated, a battery pack might explode. Do not disassemble a battery pack or dispose of
it in fire.
Warnings
Operator Safety
• Do not use the Propaq M in the presence of oxygen-rich atmospheres, flammable
anesthetics, or other flammable agents (such as gasoline). Using the unit in such
environments might cause an explosion.
• Do not use the unit near or within standing water. Electrical safety might be compromised
when the monitor is wet.
• The use of accessory equipment that does not comply with the equivalent safety
requirements of the Propaq M monitor could reduce the level of safety of the combined
system. When choosing accessory equipment, consider the following:
•Use of the accessory in the patient vicinity.
•Evidence that the safety certification of the accessory has been performed in accordance
with the appropriate IEC (EN) 60601-1 and/or IEC (EN) 60601-1-1 harmonized
national standards.
• Always check that the equipment functions properly and is in proper condition before use.
• To avoid the risk of electrical shock, do not allow printer to come into contact with other
conductive parts, such as equipment connected to the USB port.
9650-000820-01 Rev. KPropaq M Operator’s Guide1-13
Chapter 1 General Information
Patient Safety
• This equipment should be connected to only one patient at a time.
• 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 M only to equipment with circuits that are
electrically isolated.
• Use only high-quality ECG electrodes.
• Do not use ECG electrodes if the gel is dried, separated, torn or split from the foil; patient
burns may result from using such electrodes.
• Check the expiration date on the electrode packaging. Do not use electrodes after their
expiration date.
• Excessive body hair or wet, diaphoretic skin can inhibit electrode coupling to the skin. Clip
excess hair and dry any moisture from the area where an electrode is to be attached.
• Carefully route the patient cables away from the patient’s neck to reduce the possibility of
patient entanglement or strangulation.
• To avoid electrosurgery burns at monitoring sites, ensure proper connection of the
electrosurgery return circuit so that a return path cannot be made through monitoring
electrodes or probes.
• During electrosurgery, observe the following guidelines to minimize electrosurgery unit
(ESU) interference and provide maximum operator and patient safety:
•Keep all patient monitoring cables away from earth ground, ESU knives, and ESU
return wires.
•Use electrosurgical grounding pads with the largest practical contact area.
• Always ensure proper application of the electrosurgical return electrode to the patient.
• Check electrical leakage levels before use. Leakage current might be excessive if more than
one monitor or other piece of equipment is connected to the patient.
Cautions
• If the unit is to be stored longer than 30 days, remove the battery pack.
• Do not sterilize the monitor, or its accessories unless the accessories are labelled as
sterilizable.
• Do not immerse any part of the monitor in water.
• Do not use the monitor if excessive condensation is visible on the device. Wipe only the
outside with a damp cloth.
• Do not use ketones (such as acetone or MEK) on the monitor.
• Avoid using abrasives (including paper towels) on the display window.
• To achieve the specified level of protection against spilled or splashed liquids, thoroughly
dry all exposed surfaces of this device prior to operation or connections to auxiliary power.
• If liquids enter the device connectors, remove all liquid from the connectors and allow the
device to dry thoroughly prior to use.
• Grounding reliability can be achieved only when the equipment is connected to a receptacle
marked “HOSPITAL ONLY,” “HOSPITAL GRADE,” or equivalent. If the grounding
integrity of the line cord or ac receptacle is questionable, operate the monitor using battery
power only.
• Do not connect to an electrical outlet controlled by a wall switch or dimmer.
• For accurate ECG information, and to protect against noise and other interference, use only
internal current-limiting ECG cables specified or supplied by ZOLL.
• For continued safety and EMI performance, use only the line cord supplied by ZOLL.
1-14www.zoll.com 9650-000820-01 Rev. K
• Electrical installation of the room or the building in which the monitor is to be used must
comply with regulations specified by the country in which the equipment is to be used.
• Dispose of battery packs in accordance with national, regional and local regulations. Battery
packs should be shipped to a reclamation facility for recovery of metal and plastic
compounds as the proper method of waste management.
Restarting the Monitor
Certain events require the Propaq M products to be restarted after they shut off or become
inoperative (for example, when the battery runs down and the unit shuts off).
In such a case, always try to restore monitor operation as follows:
1. Press the power switch on the top of the unit to turn it off.
2. If necessary, replace a depleted battery with a fully charged pack, or connect the monitor to
auxiliary power.
3. Press the power switch on the top of the unit to turn it back on.
This sequence is necessary to restart the monitor and can also be used to clear some fault
messages when immediate use of the monitor is required.
If the Propaq M unit is powered off for less than 2 minutes, all patient monitoring parameter
settings will be retained. If the unit has been powered off for at least two minutes, it will be
considered a New Patient and all of the patient-specific parameters (alarm limits, etc.) will be
reset to their default values.
Restarting the Monitor

Chapter 1 General Information
The ZOLL Serial Number
Each ZOLL product displays a serial number that contains information about that product.
From left to right, ZOLL serial numbers are structured as follows:
• A two-character product code
• A three-character date-of-manufacture code
• A product serial number of six or more alphanumeric characters
The first two characters of the date-of-manufacture code give the last two digits of the year (for
example, “06” appears for products manufactured in 2006). The last character of the date-ofmanufacture code gives the month in which the product was manufactured. The month appears
in the form of a single alphanumeric character: “A” for January, “B” for February, “C” for
March, and so on through “L” for December.
The product serial number is a unique set of alphanumeric characters that ZOLL assigns to each
individual unit.
