Propaq M Operators Guide Rev B May 2019

Indications for Use Electrocardiogram (ECG) Monitoring The Propaq M system is indicated to monitor and/or record 3-, 5-, or 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) waveform and heart rate, and to alarm when heart rate is above or below limits set by the operator. ECG monitoring is indicated for patients from newborn (neonate) to adult, with and without heart dysfunction.

Non-Invasive Blood Pressure Monitoring The Propaq M system is indicated 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. The non-invasive blood pressure monitoring feature is indicated for patients from newborn (neonate) to adult.

Temperature Monitoring The Propaq M system is indicated 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 temperature monitoring feature is indicated for use in patients from newborn (neonate) to adult.

SpO2 Monitoring The Propaq M system is indicated for use for continuous noninvasive monitoring of functional oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin (SpO2), pulse rate, and/or carboxyhemoglobin saturation (SpCO), methemoglobin saturation (SpMet), total hemoglobin (SpHb), oxygen content (SpOC), pleth variability index (PVI), and perfusion index (PI) via the pulse Co-oximeter and accessories. 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 system is indicated 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 respiration monitoring feature is indicated for use on patients from newborn (neonate) to adult.

CO2 Monitoring The Propaq M system is indicated for use in continuous noninvasive measurement and monitoring of carbon dioxide concentration of the expired and inspired breath and breath rate. The CO2 monitoring feature is indicated for use on patients from newborn (neonate) to adult.

Invasive Pressure Monitoring The Propaq M system is indicated for use to display and make continuous invasive pressure measurements via a compatible pressure transducer. The invasive pressure monitoring feature is indicated for use on patients from newborn (neonate) to adult.

12-Lead Analysis The Propaq M system is indicated for use in acquiring, analyzing and reporting physiological data via 12-lead ECG Analysis, and to provide interpretation of the data for consideration by caregivers. The 12-lead ECG Analysis feature is indicated for use on adults (> 18 years of age).

Web Console The Propaq M system is indicated for the remote display of physiological data displayed on connected Propaq M systems via the Web Console feature, including electrocardiogram (ECG), non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP), temperature, and heart rate.

Propaq M Product Functions

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). • ECG size - 0.125, 0.25, 0.50, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0 cm/mV, AUTO • status messages

The ECG bandwidth is user selectable.

Batteries 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 yellow

Battery is charging.

Steady green

Battery is charged.

Alternating yellow and green

The charge state cannot be determined or a battery charging fault has been detected.

Not lit

No battery in device.

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 SurePower Charger Station Operator’s Guide). After you recalibrate the battery, the Recalibration LED will only flash when you press the Display button. 9650-001820-05 Rev. B

Chapter 1 General Information

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.

Pulse Oximeter • Keep the ZOLL finger probe clean and dry. • SpO2 measurements may be affected by certain patient conditions: severe right heart failure, •

•

• • •

tricuspid regurgitation or obstructed venous return. SpO2 measurements may be affected when using intravascular dyes, in extreme vasoconstriction or hypovolemia or under conditions where there is no pulsating arterial vascular bed. SpO2 measurements may be affected in the presence of strong EMI fields, electrosurgical devices, IR lamps, bright lights, improperly applied sensors; the use of non-ZOLL sensors, or damaged sensors; in patients with smoke inhalation, or carbon monoxide poisoning, or with patient movement. 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 SpO2 sensor to the same limb that has an NIBP cuff. The SpO2 alarm may sound when the arterial circulation is cut off during NIBP measurements, and may affect SpO2 measurements.

• 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.
