Overview

The monitor stores up to 24 hours (at one-minute intervals) of trends information for the

patient being monitored. When data storage is at capacity, the data from each new

reading replaces the data from the oldest.

Capturing a Data Snapshot

Press to capture a 21-second period of numeric and waveform patient data. The

monitor captures the 14 seconds preceding and the 7 seconds following the button press.

The monitor can store 20 snapshots. After 20 snapshots have been taken, each new

snapshot replaces the oldest snapshot in memory.

Reviewing Data at the Monitor

Snapshots and trend data can be reviewed at the monitor.

4. The monitor first displays Select. With Select highlighted, press to view the list of

up to 20 snapshots. To view another snapshot, highlight the snapshot menu (#5 of 5

in the example above), press , and highlight any of the available snapshots.

The blue markers at the bottom of the waveform display represent one-second

intervals. The numeric data above the waveform represents the patient’s vital signs

measured at a specific time relative to that indicated in the lower right corner. For

example: In Figure 90, the data was measured at “1 Sec after” 14:34:58.

5. To view the waveform and the numeric data for a specific time within the 21 seconds

of data, highlight 1Secafter and then use or scroll the display to the desired time.

For example, to see the vital signs taken five seconds after the trigger point of the

snapshot, highlight 1 Sec after and press and hold as needed to increment the

display (Figure 91) to 5 Sec after.

Printing Patient Data

Overview

The AutoPrint utility uploads from the monitor to the PC, either manually or automatically,

trend data and snapshots stored by the monitor for the current or most recent patient.

The PC then prints the data on the configured laser printer.

Note Use only a laser printer. The monitor can store a large amount of data. If you use

any other type of printer, it can take a long time to print all of the data.

Note If you attempt to print patient data during the first minute of monitoring, before

the monitor has recorded a snapshot or generated a trend, the monitor might

display the message, "File transfer failure". If this occurs, cancel the AutoPrint

operation and continue monitoring.

Note The following message might appear when AutoPrint starts:

“To help protect your computer, Windows Firewall has blocked some features of

this program. Do you want to keep blocking this program?”

To prevent this message from appearing again, select Unblock.

Note AutoPrint works only when the monitor is powered on. This feature helps you be

certain that only the data for the current patient is being printed or, if no patient is

being monitored, that only the data for the last patient monitored is being printed.

Note If the monitor is off when it is placed in the cradle, AutoPrint is disabled. To enable

AutoPrint, turn the monitor on and select Continue Patient.

Note If you turn the monitor on and select Start New Patient, all stored patient data is

deleted from the monitor and cannot be printed.

104 Printing Patient Data Welch Allyn Propaq LT Vital Signs Monitor

The printed data includes the following:

Trends print-out:

• Up to 24 hours of HR/PR, RR/BR, and SpO2 trends (one set of measurements per

row, with a 15-minute interval between rows).

•SpO

2 spot checks and NIBP measurements, interspersed among the rows of

trends data.

In the Snapshots print-out:

• Up to twenty snapshots (21-second intervals of full-disclosure patient data,

including waveforms and numerics).

• The utility extracts the available ECG Leads from the patient data and prints a

page of strips for each snapshot. Depending on the number of ECG Leads

available, the strips may contain 21 seconds of data for one or three Leads of

ECG data.

The utility supports US Letter and European A4 page sizes.

Printing

To print the patient data stored in a monitor:

1. Install the AutoPrint Utility on a PC.

a. Insert the Propaq LT Monitor PC Utility Program in the CD-ROM drive of the PC.

b. Follow the on-screen instructions to install the AutoPrint Utility.

2. Connect the PC to a cradle (Propaq LT Monitor Charging/Communications Cradle),

using the supplied USB cable.

Each time a monitor is inserted into this cradle while the cradle is connected via USB

cable to the PC, the patient data stored in the monitor is printed on the default printer.

Patients monitored continuously for 24 hours typically generate enough data for a 2-

or 3-page trends table of two panels per page. For example, a 24-hour report with the

following data (192 rows) would cover three pages:

• 96 rows of vital-signs data (4 intervals/hr = 4 rows per hour) for 24 hours

• 48 NIBP readings (2/hr)

•48 SpO

2 spot-check readings (2/hr)

Directions for Use Printing Patient Data 105

Figure 98 shows a typical printout.

• Text in italic font indicates one of the trends measurements taken at 15-minute

intervals.

• Text in bold font indicates an NIBP measurement or an SpO2 spot check.

• White text in a black box indicates an alarm condition—a measurement that is

outside of alarm limits.

--- indicates a measurement value below the monitor’s measurement range.

+++ indicates a measurement value above the monitor’s measurement range.

??? indicates an undetermined measurement value.

Canceling a Print Request

When the utility receives a print request, it immediately uploads patient data from the

monitor to the PC and presents a print dialog. You have 10 seconds to cancel the print

request (which automatically exits the AutoPrint Utility). If you do not cancel, the utility

prints the patient data.

When Uploading is Complete

When the data has been uploaded and sent to the printer, the utility presents the options

to reprint the current data, print the data from another monitor, or exit the utility.

If you select to reprint, the data is printed again.

If you select to print data from another monitor, the utility prompts you to replace the

monitor in the cradle with another monitor.

If you select to exit, the utility exits.

If you do nothing for one minute after the data is uploaded to the PC, the utility exits.

Note When the utility uploads the patient data from the monitor to the PC for printing,

the data is deleted from the monitor. If you insert another monitor and upload the

data from it, the data from the previous upload is lost.

Directions for Use Printing Patient Data 109

Creating a PDF of Patient Data

This procedure requires a PC connected to a monitor and cradle via a USB cable. The

Welch Allyn AutoPrint Utility must be installed on the PC, but not running. The cradle

must include the USB data transfer option.

To Create a PDF of Patient Data

1. On the PC, install a PDF writer tool.

Many PDF writer tools are available. For example, you can find PDF writer tools at the

following web locations:

• www.pdf995.com

• www.cutepdf.com

• www.adobe.com

Welch Allyn does not recommend one PDF writer tool over another.

2. On the PC, change the default printer to the newly installed PDF writer, as follows:

a. Open the Control Panel.

b. Double-click Printers and Faxes.

110 Printing Patient Data Welch Allyn Propaq LT Vital Signs Monitor

c. In the Printer and Faxes dialog, right-click on the newly installed PDF writer and

check Set as Default.

3. On the PC, start the AutoPrint Utility:

Start > Programs > Welch Allyn > Propaq LT AutoPrint Utility

The AutoPrint Utility immediately begins transferring data files from the monitor to

the PC.

4. Individually save as a PDF file each snapshot file uploaded from the monitor.

These saved PDF files can now be printed, emailed, or viewed on-screen.
