Welch Allyn 10 Propaq Encore Reference Guide
Warning Make frequent electrical and visual checks on cables and electrode
wires.
Avoid electrosurgery burns at monitoring sites by ensuring proper connection
of the electrosurgery return circuit so that the return paths cannot be made
through monitoring electrodes and probes.
During defibrillation, keep the discharge paddles away from ECG and other
electrodes, as well as other conductive parts in contact with the patient. Avoid
contact with any accessories connected to the Propaq’s left side panel.
To ensure patient safety, the conductive parts of the ECG electrodes
(including associated connectors) and other patient-applied parts should not
contact other conductive parts, including earth ground, at any time.
Do not operate this product in the presence of flammable anesthetics or other
flammable substance in combination with air, oxygen-enriched environments,

equipment must be labeled by an approved testing laboratory. After
interconnection with accessory equipment, risk (leakage) current and

To ensure conformance to risk (leakage) current requirements when operating
from an ac mains power source, use only a Welch Allyn 503-0054 series
power adapter.
