34 Patient monitoring Welch Allyn Propaq Encore Vital Signs Monitor
Impedance pneumography selections
If your Propaq Encore includes the Impedance Pneumography Option, the following
selection is also available:
The Size function “increases” and “decreases” the ECG or RESP waveform size. Each
time you press a SIZE button, the waveform approximately doubles in height. When you
reach the largest waveform size, the next press displays the smallest size.
When you press MORE in the first ECG/RESP Menu, a status window appears showing
you the current ECG/RESP settings and additional selections.
The Size function “increases” or “decreases” the ECG or RESP waveform size. Each time
you press a SIZE button, the waveform approximately doubles in height. When you reach
the largest waveform size, the next press displays the smallest size.
RESP SZE Selects the RESP waveform size.
HR/PR TONE Sets the heart tone loudness to LOW, MEDIUM, HIGH, or OFF. If
SpO
2
is monitored, the pitch of the tone varies with the SpO
2
value.
PACER
DISPLAY
Turns on and off the pacer indicator in the ECG waveform.
ECG
BANDWIDTH
This selection allows you to determine the bandwidth for the data
sent to the display and the printer. If the selection is Extended, the
bandwidth is 0.05-40 Hz. If the selection is Monitor, the bandwidth is
0.5-40 Hz.
Note
The QRS detector sensitivity threshold is not affected by changing the ECG
display size. Likewise, the RESP breath detector threshold is not affected by
changing the RESP display size.
RESP LEAD Selects the RESP lead. Choices are RA-LA and RA-LL, and choice is
independent of ECG lead selection. Experiment with placement for
best signals.
RESP Turns impedance pneumography (RESP channel) on or off.
