Directions for Use Acuity 73

If the Wireless Propaq CS is moved out of range or loses communication with the FlexNet

network and Acuity, it continues to monitor the patient and display patient data. While not

communicating with Acuity, the Propaq CS continues to generate local patient alarms or

alert messages. Acuity does not perform waveform analysis or generate arrhythmia or ST

analysis messages while the Propaq CS is not communicating with Acuity. When the

Wireless Propaq CS is returned to within range of the FlexNet network, it automatically

reconnects to Acuity and uploads trend information.

A Propaq CS with the Acuity hardwire communication option can be identified by the

Acuity connector on the right side panel.

A Wireless Propaq CS can be identified by the yellow antenna cap on the top right corner

of the monitor in front of the carrying handle. Every Wireless Propaq CS includes the

Acuity hardwire communication option.

If a Wireless Propaq CS monitor is communicating with the network via the wireless

interface and then the Acuity hardwire cable is used to connect the bedside Acuity

network jack and the monitor, the monitor disconnects from the wireless connection and

communicates through the hardwire connection. There may be a short interruption in the

display of patient waveforms at Acuity while this change occurs.

Note

The Wireless Propaq CS can not be used with the Modem-Propaq

communication option, even when the Wireless Propaq CS is being used with a

hardwire connection or is out-of-range of a FlexNet Network access point.
