What you can do with in-service mode
While using the in-service mode, you can press any of the Propaq Encore buttons, except
for the AUTO/MAN button in the NIBP Menu, to change a function setting. You can also:
•
change the ECG and RESP waveform sizes
•
set alarm limits and cancel alarms
•
STAT SET alarms
•
customize the Propaq Encore settings
•
change from °F to °C
•
simulate invasive-pressure zeroing
NIBP
For noninvasive pressure measurements, keep the Propaq Encore in manual NIBP
operating mode and take pressure measurements by pressing the START button. You can
also press the NIBP Menu's TURBOCUF button to consecutively take pressure
measurements for five minutes.
Printer message
Simulated data can be printed on the Propaq Encore Printer. All printouts include the
message “SIMULATED DATA” every four inches to prevent simulated data from being
mistaken for actual patient data.
What you cannot do with in-service mode
•
You cannot use in-service mode to calibrate the monitor.
•
You cannot set the Propaq Encore to take automatic noninvasive pressure
measurements (except Turbocuf) while using in-service mode.
•
You cannot use Defib Sync or Real-time ECG output while using in-service mode.

Confirm and learn alarm behavior in the in-service mode
To confirm that a Propaq monitor is properly generating patient alarms and to learn the
alarm behavior of the Propaq Encore monitor, perform the following steps.
1.
Disconnect all patient cables from the Propaq monitor.
2.
To temporarily remove customized alarm settings, press the MAIN MENU key, then
SETUP, MORE, CHANGE, SETUP, USE NOW, YES.
3.
To put the Propaq monitor in (non-alarming) Inservice Mode 1, press MAIN MENU,
SETUP, WAVE SEL, INSERV.
4.
To set the Propaq monitor in (alarming) Inservice Mode 2, press MAIN MENU,
SETUP, WAVE SEL, INSERV.
Within 3-5 seconds, the monitor will alarm because the “patient’s” vital signs fall
outside of the alarm limit ranges.
