Learning the <strong>Propaq</strong> <strong>Encore</strong><br />
Using in-service mode<br />
You can practice using the <strong>Propaq</strong> <strong>Encore</strong> without a patient simulator by using the<br />
<strong>Propaq</strong>'s in-service mode of operation. The in-service mode cannot be activated while you<br />
are monitoring a patient. The message “SIMULATING” alternates with the time of day<br />
and patient mode on the display.<br />
To begin practicing with your <strong>Propaq</strong>, disconnect all patient cables connected to the<br />
monitor. Leave the cuff connected so you can take NIBP measurements. If you have been<br />
monitoring a patient, turn off the <strong>Propaq</strong> <strong>Encore</strong> and turn it back on. From the Main Menu,<br />
press SETUP, WAVE SEL, INSERV.<br />
The <strong>Propaq</strong> <strong>Encore</strong> has two sets of simulated patient information—an initial set and an<br />
alternate set. To change between them, press the INSERV button again.<br />
If you connect a patient cable or set the NIBP channel to automatically take pressure<br />
measurements, the <strong>Propaq</strong> <strong>Encore</strong> stops simulating, goes through its powerup tests, and<br />
erases any simulated trend data it might have stored.
