Directions for Use Overview of Monitor Operation 33

Using the Highlights

Every screen contains a single element—the current context—highlighted by a blue field.

Some screens also contain elements—parameter values—highlighted by a green field.

About Blue Highlights

A blue highlight identifies the current context. For example, Figure 25 illustrates a

highlighted row in a trends display and a highlighted setting in the Waveform Size menu.

Figure 25. Examples of Highlighted Elements

In a display screen (see “About Display Formats” on page 21), pressing causes the

monitor to replace the current screen with another screen related to the current context.

For example, if SpO2 is highlighted in the Two Waveforms display (Figure 26) and you

press ...

Figure 26. Using the Action Button ( )

...the monitor presents the SpO2 control menu (Figure 27).

About Green Highlights

Green highlights identify the current values of multiple parameters within a given context.

For example, in the control menu shown in Figure 27, the current settings of the SpO2

parameters are highlighted in green.

Example: Using a Control Menu

Using the example (Figure 27), you would do the following to raise the SpO2 lower alarm

limit to 95 (Step 1) and shut off the HR/PR tone (Step 2):

1. W i t h SpO2 Monitoring highlighted, scroll (using ) to highlight Lower Limit, and

press as many times as needed to raise this alarm limit to 95.

2. Scroll (using ) to HR/PR Tone, and press either or as many times as needed to

highlight Off.

3. Press or to exit the control screen and return to the vital-signs display.

About the HR/PR Control Menu

About the SpO2 Control Menu

Note If you decrease an upper alarm limit to a value almost as low as the lower limit,

the lower limit decreases so that it is always lower than the upper limit.

If you increase a lower alarm limit to a value almost as high as the upper limit, the

upper limit increases so that it is always higher than the lower limit.

Note When you change a setting (for example, by turning off an alarm limit or by

increasing or decreasing an alarm limit), the change takes effect immediately.

Note When you exit a control menu, the values displayed at the time you exit are the

values in effect for the monitor. If you change a parameter setting and then decide

before exiting the control menu to keep the previous setting values, you must

return the parameters to the original values before you exit the control menu.

Using Demo Mode

In Demo mode, the monitor displays simulated patient data for all vital signs. You can use

Demo mode to practice taking vital-signs measurements, modifying alarm limits and

other settings, cycling through display formats, and responding to alarm conditions.

To start Demo mode, all of the following must be true:

• The power-on screen is displayed.

• The monitor is not in NIBP Auto mode.

• Patient data was deleted when the monitor was last shut down; that is, the

monitor contains no stored patient data.

•The SpO

2 and ECG cables are not connected to the monitor.

To Enter Demo Mode Low

1. Verify that the SpO2 and ECG cables are not connected to the monitor.

2. Cycle the monitor off (deleting any saved data) and then on again.

3. When the main screen appears, highlight Demo (Figure 32) and press .

Figure 32. Power-On Screen: Demo Highlighted

Demo mode is indicated by the message ‘SIMULATION’ in the upper left corner of

the screen (Figure 33). If the monitor is connected to Acuity, ‘SIMULATION’ also

appears on the Acuity display.

Note If you enter Demo mode with an SpO2 or ECG cable connected, the monitor

enters Demo mode for only a second or two before shutting down and powering

up in monitor mode.

If you are in Demo mode and you connect an SpO2 or ECG cable or select NIBP

auto mode, the monitor shuts down and powers up to the start-up screen.

42 Overview of Monitor Operation Welch Allyn Propaq LT Vital Signs Monitor

Figure 33. Demo Mode: Initial Display

When you enter Demo mode, the monitor is in ‘Demo Mode Low’. The simulated vital

signs of the patient are steady and do not cause any alarms at the default alarm limit

settings. You can explore the monitor displays and menus, and you can change the same

settings and values in Demo mode that you can change in normal mode.

In Demo Mode Low, if you adjust the alarm limits to put the simulated patient’s vital signs

out of limits, the monitor simulates an alarm condition. Another way to simulate an alarm

condition is to switch the monitor to Demo Mode High, which uses higher numeric

values.

To Switch to Demo Mode High

1. Access the Setup menu. (“To Access the Setup Menus” on page 38.)

2. Press to highlight Timings (Figure 34).

Transporting the Monitor with the Patient

An ambulatory patient can wear or carry the monitor using the Wearable Strap or the

Patient Carry Strap (optional accessories). Medical personnel can use the Transport

Stretcher Carry Strap to keep the monitor with a patient during stretcher transport.

To Attach the Wearable Strap

Figure 40. Patient-Wearable Strap

1. Place the wearable strap on the sitting or standing patient and adjust all components

for a comfortable, secure fit (Figure 40 left).

2. Connect the wearable strap securely to the monitor strap mounts (Figure 40 right).

3. Carefully arrange the strap and the monitor on the patient to avoid bruising or other

skin injuries.

WARNING When the patient is wearing or carrying the monitor, carefully route

any patient cabling to reduce the possibility of patient entanglement or

strangulation. Use the supplied garment clips to secure the cable properly.

WARNING When positioning straps on the patient, make sure the straps do not

entangle the patient’s neck or cause choking.

WARNING Make sure the straps do not restrict the movement of the patient’s

limbs or create a hazard for the patient when the patient is walking or moving.

WARNING Never use a strap to carry or pick up both the monitor and the cradle.

The straps are not intended to support, and cannot support, the combined weight

of the monitor and the cradle.

WARNING Do not put the wearable strap on the patient while the patient is in

bed. The intended use of the wearable strap is to keep the monitor—without the

cradle—with the patient when the patient is ambulatory.

Directions for Use Overview of Monitor Operation 47

To Use the Patient Carry Strap (Figure 41)

1. Remove the monitor from the cradle.

2. Detach any monitor cables from such accessories as an IV pole.

3. Verify that all cables are disentangled from the bed and any bedside tables.

4. Connect the ends of the carry strap to the strap mounts on the monitor.

Figure 41. Patient Carry Strap

To Use the Transport Stretcher Carry Strap (Figure 42)

1. With the monitor facing away from the stretcher and the patient, attach one end of

the strap to a monitor strap mount.

2. Run the monitor strap under the stretcher restraint straps, near the patient’s waist.

3. Attach the other end of the strap to the other strap mount.

Figure 42. Monitor Secured to the Patient During Stretcher Transport

4. Before transporting the patient, verify that all monitor cables are clear.

WARNING Do not use the patient carry strap to lift or carry both the monitor and

the cradle. The patient carry strap is not intended to support (and cannot support)

the weight of both the monitor and the cradle. Attempting to carry both the

monitor and the cradle with a patient carry strap could lead to patient injury and to

damage to the monitor and the cradle.
