Propaq M Indications for Use
The Propaq M is intended for use by trained medical personnel who are familiar with basic
monitoring, vital sign assessment, and the use of the Propaq M. The Propaq M is also intended
for use by (or on the order of) physicians at the scene of an emergency or in a hospital
emergency room, intensive care unit, cardiac care unit, or other similar areas of a hospital. The
usage may be in an ambulance or at the scene of an emergency. It is also intended to be used
during the transport of patients. The Propaq M will be used whenever it is required to monitor
any of those functions that are included (as options) in the device. The Propaq M unit can be
used on pediatric patients (as described in the following table) and on adult patients (21 years of
age or older) with and without heart dysfunction.
ECG Monitoring
The Propaq M is intended for use to monitor and/or record 3-, 5-, or 12-lead ECG waveform
and heart rate, and to alarm when heart rate is above or below limits set by the operator. The
patient population will range from newborn (neonate) to adult, with and without heart
dysfunction.
Non-Invasive Blood Pressure Monitoring
The Propaq M unit’s NIBP option is intended for use to make non-invasive measurements of
arterial pressure and heart rate, and to alarm if either parameter is outside of the limits set by the
user. Measurements are made using an inflatable cuff on the patient's arm or leg. The patient
population will range from newborn (neonate) to adult.
Pediatric Patient Subpopulation Approximate Age Range
Newborn (neonate) Birth to 1 month of age.
Infant 1 month to 2 years of age.
Child 2 to 12 years of age.
Adolescent 12 to 21 years of age.

Propaq M Indications for Use
9650-000820-01 Rev. K Propaq M Operator’s Guide 1-7
Temperature Monitoring
The Propaq M is intended for use to make continuous temperature measurements of rectal,
esophageal, or surface temperatures, and to alarm if the temperature is outside of the limits set
by the user. The patient population will range from newborn (neonate) to adult.
SpO2Monitoring
The Propaq M pulse CO-oximeter, with Masimo Rainbow®SET®technology, is intended for
use for continuous noninvasive monitoring of functional oxygen saturation of arterial
hemoglobin (SpO2), pulse rate, carboxyhemoglobin saturation (SpCO), and/or methemoglobin
saturation (SpMet), total hemoglobin (SpHb), oxygen content (SpOC), pleth variability index
(PVI), and/or perfusion index (PI). The pulse CO-oximeter and accessories are indicated for
use on adult, pediatric, and neonatal patients during both no motion and motion conditions, and
for patients who are well or poorly perfused, in hospitals, hospital-type facilities, or in mobile
environments.
Respiration Monitoring
The Propaq M is intended for use to continuously monitor respiration rate and to alarm if the
rate falls outside of the range set by the operator. Because the measurement method actually
measures respiratory effort, apnea episodes with continued respiratory effort (such as
obstructive apnea) may not be detected. It is not intended to be used as an apnea monitor. The
patient population will range from newborn (neonate) to adult.
CO2Monitoring
The Propaq M is intended for use to make continuous noninvasive measurement and
monitoring of carbon dioxide concentration of the expired and inspired breath and breath rate.
The patient population will range from newborn (neonate) to adult.
Invasive Pressure Monitoring
The Propaq M is intended for use to display and make continuous invasive pressure
measurements from any compatible pressure transducer. The primary intended uses are arterial
blood pressure, central venous pressure and intracranial pressure monitoring. Any contra-
indications of the particular transducer selected by the user shall apply. The patient population
will range from newborn (neonate) to adult.
12-Lead Analysis
The 12-lead ECG Analysis is intended for use in acquiring, analyzing and reporting ECG data,
and to provide interpretation of the data for consideration by caregivers. The interpretations of
ECG data offered by the device are only significant when used in conjunction with caregiver
overread as well as consideration of all other relevant patient data. The 12-lead ECG Analysis

ECG Monitoring
The patient’s ECG is monitored by connecting the patient to the unit via a 3-, 5-, or 12-lead
patient cable. The ECG waveform is presented on the display along with the following
information:
•averaged heart rate, derived by measuring R to R intervals
•lead selection - I, II, III, aVR, aVL, aVF, V1, V2, V3, V4, V5, V6 (with ECG cable).
•ECG size - 0.125, 0.25, 0.50, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0 cm/mV, AUTO
•status messages
The ECG bandwidth is user selectable.
Batteries
Propaq M models use an easily replaced rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack (the SurePower
II Battery Pack). A new, fully charged battery pack typically delivers more than 8 hours of ECG
monitoring. Use of other functions (such as higher screen brightness or shorter NIBP intervals)
reduces this time.
When a LOW BATTERY icon appears on the display and the unit emits three beeps in
conjunction with the displayed battery icon, the battery must be replaced and recharged.
You can charge the battery by either of the following methods:
•Internal charging — plug the Propaq M into an auxiliary power adapter to automatically
begin charging the installed battery pack. The front panel battery indicator operates as
follows:
Note: Upon power up, it takes approximately 45 seconds for the LEDs on the battery to
accurately display run time.
•External charging — use the ZOLL SurePower Battery Charger with the Propaq M/MD
Charger Adaptor to charge the battery pack and test the battery’s capacity. For details, refer
to the SurePower II Battery Pack Guide.
The Recalibration LED icon ( ) lights for approximately 10 seconds (after you press and
release the Display button) if the battery needs to be calibrated. If the Recalibration LED lights,
the runtime indicator will not display run time for that battery. For best performance of the
battery, you should recalibrate the battery as soon as possible.
To manually recalibrate the SurePower II Battery Pack, you can insert the battery into the
SurePower Charger Station and perform a Manual Test (for more information, see the ZOLL
SurePower Charger Station Operator’s Guide).
After you recalibrate the battery, the Recalibration LED will only flash when you press the
Display button.
When the indicator is: It means:
Steady yellow Battery is charging.
Steady green Battery is charged.
Alternating yellow and
green
The charge state cannot be
determined or a battery charging
fault has been detected.
Not lit No battery in device.

use. The RFU indicator has three states which are described in the following table.
State Description Action
Ready for Use The device is ready for use. Patient
monitoring is functional and the
battery is above the low battery
capacity.
Note: If the device is plugged into
the auxiliary power adapter, the
Ready for Use indicator may display
even if the battery is depleted.
Check the status of the battery
before removing the device from the
auxiliary power adapter.
None required.
Flashing One or more of the following has
occurred:
•The battery is not properly
installed.
•A low battery is installed.
•A battery fault has occurred.
•There is no battery installed
while connected to auxiliary
power.
•One or more patient monitoring
parameters have failed self-test
(NIBP, SpO2, CO2, IBP, or
Temp).
•The front panel button self-test
failed.
•The speech database self-test
failed.
Install a fully charged battery in the
unit and check the RFU indicator
again. If the RFU indicator
continues to flash, remove the unit
from service and contact the
appropriate technical personnel or
the ZOLL Technical Service
Department.
