Press NET OFF to disconnect from Acuity
When you want to disconnect the monitor from Acuity, be sure to use the NET OFF
button as described below. The NET OFF button is a safety feature to help make sure the
patient is not disconnected accidentally. If you simply disconnect the Acuity network
cable from the monitor without using the NET OFF button, the monitor and Acuity both
generate equipment alert messages that must be acknowledged by an operator.
1. To disconnect the Propaq Encore from the Acuity network, press the front panel NET
OFF button.
2. Within 15 seconds, disconnect the Acuity network cable from either the Propaq
Encore side panel or the bedside jack. If the patient will no longer be monitored with
the Propaq Encore, turn off the monitor to erase trend information.
If you do not disconnect the Acuity network cable within about 30 seconds, the
monitor and Acuity attempt to reconnect and prompt you to confirm the patient ID.
Whenever the monitor is connected to Acuity, the NET OFF function overrides the
FREEZE/UNFREEZE function for the NET OFF front panel button. Therefore, you cannot
freeze the displayed waveforms when the monitor is connected to Acuity. Also, you
cannot initiate a Freeze Print at Acuity when connected to Acuity. When the monitor is not
connected to Acuity, pressing the FREEZE/UNFREEZE button freezes or unfreezes the
displayed waveforms.
Printing at Acuity
You can print various waveforms from the Propaq Encore to the Acuity system printer. To
print a waveform shown on the display screen, press SETUP, ACUITY, SNAPSHOT. If you
press the FREEZE button on the front of the Propaq Encore, the button changes from
SNAPSHOT to FRZ PRNT.
