Propaq Encore Reference Guide 115 Welch Allyn
Acuity Central Monitoring System
Intended Use
The Acuity system is used as a central monitoring system for Propaq Encore monitors
configured to interface with Acuity.
The Acuity system may be used to monitor all patients. For neonatal patients, use all Acuity
features except the Welch Allyn Cordless Acuity and the arrhythmia detection option. The
Acuity system is intended to be used in compliance with the instructions in this Propaq Encore
Reference Guide, the Acuity System Reference Guide, and accepted hospital and clinical
protocols.
Connecting to the Acuity System
1. If the Propaq Encore has already been connected to the patient, save the patient’s
Trends and Alarm Limit settings by keeping the monitor turned on. (The Propaq
Encore transmits up to five hours of trend information when you connect it to the
Acuity network.)
If the Propaq Encore has not been connected to the patient, clear any prior patient’s
trends and alarm limit settings by turning off the Propaq Encore and after a few
seconds, turning it on again.
Warning Use of equipment, accessories, and parts not recommended or
supplied by Welch Allyn could result in inaccurate patient information or
damage to the system.
When Acuity is inoperable, be sure to keep Acuity patients under close
surveillance, especially those prone to arrhythmias. Use Acuity only in
conjunction with close surveillance by trained clinicians.
Connect the Propaq Encore to an Acuity system only. Connecting to other
networks could damage the monitor or injure the patient. If in doubt about the
network jacks or devices, consult your facility’s Biomedical Engineering
Department.
Make sure the Acuity network cable is not damaged. The Acuity network cable
is the sole link between the Propaq Encore and the Acuity Central Monitor.
