Russell,

We fly with the Propaq Encore with the printer option, we never considered not having the printer option for the very reason you allude to--documenting EKG's and V.S.

We fly in a BK117, and don't use the mount you have pictured.  Hope this helps.  We find the Propaq an excellent piece of equipment, that takes the rigors of flight teams abuse in stride.

Hello everybody, need help in Texas!

 

I have a few questions that need answers.

 

1. If you use the Propaq Encore, do you have the printer option on it?

 

2. What is your validity for having in your setup?  with the printer or without?

 

3. Does anybody fly a 407 with a Propaq mount on the aft wall like the picture I have attached to this email, and if so, do you utilize this mount for the Propaq or have you done something else?

 

4. If you don't use the printer how do you document acute changes in EKG or Vital Sign status while working on a critical patient requiring all 4 of your hands?

 

Thanks for any suggestions,
