Functional verification

Welch Allyn Propaq CS Vital Signs Monitor

Masimo-compatible SpO

2

cable.

Compatible adult SpO

2

sensor for finger.

BIO-TEK Index 2 Series SpO

2

Simulator with optical finger for sensor connection (or

equivalent).

1.

Turn on power to the SpO

2

simulator.

2.

Connect the SpO

2

cable to the monitor and the SpO

2

sensor.

3.

Apply the SpO

2

sensor to the SpO

2

simulator optical finger.

4.

Set the simulator manufacturer type (“MAKE”) to Masimo.

5.

Set the simulator output to SpO

2

saturation 94% and pulse rate 60 beats per minute

(with no motion artifact selected).

Confirm that the monitor displays SpO

2

data and the pulse amplitude indicator is

moving.

Confirm that the displayed saturation is 94% ±4 counts, and the displayed pulse rate
is 60 ±4 bpm.

6.

Disconnect the sensor from the simulator and cable, and disconnect the SpO

2

cable.

Functional verification for Nellcor SpO

2

This functional verification procedure helps to confirm the proper operation of the Nellcor
Pulse Oximetry option installed in the Propaq monitor. This procedure supports the
requirements of routine preventive maintenance. No monitor disassembly is required to
perform this procedure.

You will need the following equipment to perform this procedure.

Nellcor-compatible adult SpO2 finger sensor

BIO-TEK Index 2 Series SpO

2

Simulator with optical finger for sensor connection (or

equivalent).

1.

Turn on power to the SpO

2

simulator.

2.

Connect the SpO2 sensor to the monitor and apply to the SpO2 simulator optical
finger.

3.

Set the simulator manufacturer type (“MAKE”) to Nellcor.

4.

Set the simulator output to SpO

2

saturation 94% and pulse rate 60 beats per minute

(with no motion artifact selected).

Confirm that the monitor displays SpO

2

data and the pulse amplitude indicator is

moving.

Confirm that the displayed saturation is 94% ±4 counts, and the displayed pulse rate
is 60 ±4 bpm.

5.

Disconnect the sensor from the simulator.

Sensor compatibility

Some sensors are not compatible with the particular Nellcor processing board installed in
the Propaq. To determine which pulse oximetry optional processing board is installed in
the Propaq, find the option number on the back label of the Propaq, then refer to table
