Overview
The monitor can be configured in various ways.
Each facility can define as many default configurations as required to both meet the
needs of individual departments and units and to conform to the facility’s general
methods and standards.
•
Each time the patient mode is changed, the monitor settings return to this default
configuration.
•
Each time the monitor is turned on, the clinician chooses whether to retain the
most recently used temporary, patient-specific settings (see below) or to reset
the monitor to its default configuration.
Clinicians can use the monitor buttons to temporarily customize settings to meet the
needs of individual patients. These custom settings can be retained through a monitor
shut-down and restart, but they are lost if the patient mode is changed.
When a wireless monitor is in communication with an Acuity Central Station, Acuity
imposes several monitor settings to assure conformance and consistency among all
monitors on a network. These settings override the factory configuration, the default
configuration, and any temporary patient-specific settings. If the monitor power is cycled
while the monitor is no longer in communication with Acuity, the monitor powers up with
the default configuration or with the custom settings for the previously monitored patient.

Monitor Configuration
Welch Allyn Propaq LT Vital Signs Monitor
About Factory Configuration
When the monitor arrives from the factory, it is fully configured and ready for operation.
The factory configuration defines every setting and behavior for the monitor. Each
setting and behavior defined in the factory configuration remains in effect until it is
changed by a custom configuration or by a temporary adjustment. Unless the factory
configuration is replaced by a custom configuration, the factory settings and behaviors are
restored to the monitor each time the monitor is powered up and Start New Patient is
selected.
When a custom configuration is downloaded to the monitor, the settings and behaviors
defined in the custom configuration become the power-up defaults for the monitor, and
the factory configuration is no longer in effect. However, the factory configuration
information can always be restored by qualified service personnel and can also be
restored by downloading the configuration file PropaqLTFactoryConfig.mnt from a PC to
the monitor.
The factory settings are shown in the “Parameter Configuration Matrix” on page 113.
About Default Configuration
Most facilities, before putting a new monitor into service, reconfigure it to conform to
local protocol and to adapt it to the clinical environment in which it is to be used. This
reconfiguration results in a set of default settings and monitor behaviors.
Creating a custom default configuration requires the following:
•
A Propaq LT Monitor Configuration Utility running on a PC, and
•
A cradle with the USB data transfer option
For information about the monitor configuration utility, refer to “Configuring the Monitor”
on page 126.
To learn which parameters can be defined using the Configuration Utility, see the
“Parameter Configuration Matrix” on page 113.
Directions for Use
Monitor Configuration

About Temporary Configuration
While monitoring a patient, you can use the monitor buttons to temporarily adjust many of
the monitor settings to accommodate the needs of a specific patient. These custom
settings persist through a power cycle if you select to save patient data on shut-down.
The persist until they are changed manually or by Acuity, or until the monitor is powered
down and then powered up to monitor another patient.
To learn which parameters can be temporarily defined using the User Interface, see the
“Parameter Configuration Matrix” on page 113.
About Acuity-Defined Configuration
When the monitor comes into communication with the Acuity Central Station, Acuity
downloads some parameter values to the monitor.
The Acuity-defined configuration persists until the monitor is powered off.
To learn which parameters are defined by Acuity, see “Parameter Configuration Matrix”
on page 113.
Parameter Configuration Matrix
This table lists shows the factory settings and the possible values for all parameters, and
indicates which parameters and settings can be defined by Acuity, through the
Configuration Utility, or by the clinician through the monitor buttons.
Note
This table shows only those parameters that can be changed.
Note
Except for Radio ESSID (NetName) and Can Disable HR/PR Alarm Limits, this
table does not show parameters intended for use only by qualified service
personnel.

Do not attempt to change the network name unless you are a qualified
biomedical service engineer or technician. Changing the network name causes
the monitor to disconnect from the current FlexNet network, restart (deleting all stored
patient data), and attempt to connect to the FlexNet network corresponding to the new
network name.
To change the network name:
1. Enter the Service menu.
2. Highlight Radio.
3. Highlight NetName and press .
4. Select another network name and press .
5. Press to return to the monitoring display.

About the Configuration Worksheet
WARNING You must read and understand the warning statements in “Enable
Wireless Communications (with Acuity)” on page 147 before any configuration
file is created based on a worksheet.
The first step in customizing a monitor configuration is to complete a configuration
worksheet. This defines the settings to be stored in the monitor.
Note
A worksheet is not required. The worksheet makes it possible for key clinical staff
to preview and approve the configuration, and it makes it easier to create the
configuration file.
Print the worksheet (page 137 to page 156 of this document) and supply the values for
any settings you want to change. When the worksheet is complete, give it to the person
designated to create the new configuration file.
About Defaults
The settings defined for the monitor when it first arrives from the factory are called
‘factory defaults’. Factory defaults include settings for most parameters and also define
whether certain monitor features are enabled or disabled.
An example of a default setting:
The default volume of the alarm tone is set to Medium. To change the default volume
level to Low, select Low in the configuration file. (Like many other monitor settings,
the volume of the alarm tone can also be changed by the clinician while the monitor is
in use. The configuration simply defines what the setting will be when the monitor
power is turned on.)
An example of enabled and disabled features:
The monitor behavior Pacer Indicator On Default has a default value of No, so the
monitor does not, by default, include pacemaker indicators in an ECG waveform
display. To change the default behavior so that the monitor does show pacemaker
indicators in an ECG waveform display, change the value to Yes in the custom
configuration.
The feature Back Light Lockout Enable has a factory-default value of Yes (enabled), so
it is, by default, available to clinicians. To make this feature unavailable to clinicians,
change the value to No in the custom configuration.
Factory defaults remain in effect until you reconfigure the monitor by downloading a
custom configuration file to it from the PC.
136
PC Utility
Welch Allyn Propaq LT Vital Signs Monitor
After you reconfigure the monitor, the settings defined in the new configuration become
the ‘system defaults’, and the factory defaults are no longer in effect. The new system
defaults remain in effect until another configuration is downloaded to the monitor. If you
reconfigure the monitor and then want to restore the factory defaults, download the
configuration file “DefaultPropaqLTConfiguration.mnt.”
The monitor is reset to the system defaults (not the factory defaults) every time the
monitor power is cycled off and on, with one exception: If a clinician has changed some
monitor settings at the bedside for a patient and then shuts off the monitor, the monitor
offers the options to “Delete and Shut Down” and to “Save and Shut Down”. If the
clinician selects “Save and Shut Down,” shuts off the monitor, and then turns on the
monitor again, the monitor prompts with the choice, “Start New Patient” or “Continue
Patient”. If the clinician selects “Continue Patient,” the monitor uses the settings that
were saved for that patient before the power was turned off. If the clinician selects “Start
New Patient,” the system default settings are restored.
•
In the printed version of the configuration worksheet, the factory default values
are indicated by bold text.
•
In the electronic version of the configuration worksheet, the factory default
values appear in the form fields when you first open the file,
PropaqLTMonCfgWS.doc.
•
In the configuration utility, the factory default values appear in the data fields
when you open the default configuration file, DefaultPropaqLTConfiguration.mnt,
using the configuration utility.
Caution Do not attempt to modify a configuration file without using the Propaq
LT Configuration Utility.

Pacer Indicator On Default
If a patient being monitored has a pacemaker, the monitor detects the occurrence
of pacemaker signals and optionally indicates them with vertical dashed lines in
the waveform.
Pacemaker signal indicators
If the pacemaker signal is strong enough, the monitor displays it as a spike. This
spike is displayed whether the pacemaker indicator is on or off.
Should the pacemaker indicator be on by default?
(Yes)
(No)

8 ParamSet
If ParamSet is enabled, the clinician can quickly and easily change the current alarm
limits for any vital sign. If you choose to enable ParamSet, you can then define the
percentage by which the alarm limit for each vital sign is changed.
To Adjust Alarm Limits Quickly with ParamSet:
When the ParamSet message appears, press
twice.
Example:
The ParamSet value for the Upper HR/PR alarm limit is configured to be 15%.
Patient Jane’s Upper HR/PR alarm limit is set to 100. At the default alarm settings,
Jane triggers an Upper HR/PR alarm with a heart rate of 103. Her clinician,
knowing that a heart rate of 103 is acceptable for Jane, wants to quickly set a
higher Upper HR/PR alarm limit for this patient.
The monitor displays the message, “Press Select to ParamSet the upper HR/PR
limit to 118.” The clinician presses
to get to the HR/PR control screen and
immediately presses
again to accept the ParamSet adjustment. Jane’s alarm
limit for Upper HR/PR is immediately changed to 118, and the main vital-signs
screen is again displayed.
(103 + 15% of 103 = approximately 118)
Note
The ParamSet default values can be changed only by downloading another
monitor configuration.
When monitor power is cycled, the factory default alarm limits and ParamSet
default values are again in effect.
ParamSet can be used multiple times for any alarm limit. Each time you press
ParamSet for a given vital sign, the alarm limit expands by the configured percentage.
However, the alarm limits can never be expanded beyond the limit boundaries built
into the monitor. (See the specifications for vital signs in Appendix A, starting with
“ECG” on page 163.)
This table shows the effect of ParamSet for various vital signs, based on a patient’s
normal levels for each vital sign. These values are based on the assumption that:
•
the patient mode is Adult
•
the monitor is initially using factory default alarm levels
