11. Disconnect the scope probe and ground clip and remove the wires from the
connectors.
12. Using either a LifePak 5 or LifePak 6s and appropriate Welch Allyn adapter, set up the
monitor and defibrillator according to instructions provided in the Defib Sync Users
Guide.
13. Check the monitor display for sync markers on the ECG waveform.
14. Disconnect the defibrillator from the monitor.
15. Disconnect the ECG cable from the monitor. (Disconnecting an active channel
initiates an equipment alarm; press any key to acknowledge the discontinuance of
ECG monitoring.)
IBP
The following procedure verifies the operation of the invasive blood pressure channels.
Some models of the Propaq Encore have no IBP channels; skip this procedure if your
Encore does not support IBP. If your Encore has multiple IBP channels, repeat the
verification procedure for each channel.
1. Press SETUP > WAVESEL and check that the P1 and P2 waveforms are turned on.
2. Connect the IBP cable from the patient simulator to an IBP input jack on the left side
panel of the Encore.
3. Set the simulator output pressure to 0 mmHg.
4. Zero P1 by pressing ZERO P1.
5. Check that ZEROED is displayed.
6. Press RESCALE.
7. Check for a noise level of 3 mm on the IBP waveform.
8. After allowing a few seconds for settling, check that the mean pressure reading is 0
mmHg ±1 mmHg.
9. Set the pressure simulator to 200 mmHg.
Note
If the patient simulator does not also provide an appropriate ECG signal, the heart
rate value will be displayed as – – – and an alarm violation will occur.
Caution Many blood pressure simulators are not intended to be used as
calibration standards. Use only the blood pressure simulators specified in
“Required Equipment” on page 12.
Note
If you are using the Dynatech/Nevada model 213A, 215A, or 217A patient
simulator, do not simultaneously monitor ECG and invasive blood pressure (IBP)
unless the modification to the simulator is performed as described in “Dynatech/
Nevada Patient Simulator Modificationon page 125. If you do not wish to modify
your simulator, use ECG and IBP independently.
Note
If an alarm tone sounds, press the SUSPEND/RESUME button.
