AIR LEAK, CHECK HOSE (ERR# 1). The Propaq Encore could not properly inflate cuff.
Check the hose and cuff for obvious leaks, such as O-rings in the hose connections.
CUFF NOT DETECTED (ERR# 2). During cuff inflation the detected pressure did not
sufficiently rise. Check that the cuff connection is tight and take the measurement again.
KINKED HOSE, CHECK HOSE (ERR# 3). The Propaq Encore could not properly inflate
cuff. Check for a kinked hose between the monitor and the patient.
OVERPRESSURE CONDITION (ERR# 4) . The pressure in the cuff exceeded the
acceptable limits for patient mode. Check the hose and try taking another measurement.
WEAK PULSES, CAN'T FIND SYS/DIA (ERR# 5). There are not enough pulses to
determine the systolic or diastolic pressures, but a mean pressure is available. Try
reapplying the cuff after squeezing as much air from it as you can.
ARTIFACT, CAN’T FIND SYS/DIA (ERR# 6) . The systolic or diastolic pressures are
unreliable due to artifact, but a mean pressure is available. May be caused by patient
motion.
NO PULSES DETECTED (ERR# 7). The cuff may not be properly applied to the patient,
or the patient may not have detectable pulses due to shock or arrhythmias.
CONNECT ECG TO REDUCE NIBP ARTIFACT (ERR# 8). NIBP artifact prevents a
valid reading. Connect ECG electrodes to improve NIBP measurements.
NO VALID BLOOD PRESSURE FOUND (ERR# 9) . This message can occur due to
motion artifact, the Propaq Encore being set in the wrong patient mode, or the wrong
hose or cuff being used in relation to the patient mode.
CALIBRATING, PLEASE WAIT (ERR# 10). The Propaq Encore periodically recalibrates
the NIBP channel to ensure it can properly make NIBP determinations. Normal monitor
operation continues while the NIBP channel is calibrating. If the NIBP channel has not
updated its calibration in 15 minutes, the channel will briefly deactivate until a new
calibration has occurred.
Warning The Propaq Encore cannot differentiate between physiologic and
cuff application causes of the NO PULSES DETECTED message. Always
evaluate the patient for presence of life threatening conditions whenever this
message occurs.
