6.6.2 Safety Information
Explanation

When body temperature exceeds the measuring range, alarm is displayed on the screen. Please
check if the body temperature sensor is on the animal
‟s body correctly and shift it to the proper
positions if needed.

The measure of body temperature is based on the principle of contact-typed thermal conduction,
thus it will takes 1 to 4 minutes before the reading of the measured result is stable starting from the
time when the probe contacts with the animal
‟s body; it takes some time before the thermal
conduction is balanced.

Cleaning body temperature sensor: disinfect in alcoholic detergent instead of steam; the disposable
temperature probes shouldn
‟t be disinfected or reused repeatedly; while cleaning, hold the probe tip
with one hand, and scrub the probe toward the connector with a damp lint-free cloth with the other
hand.

The measure mode of this Temp is adjusted mode.
Attention

The body temperature sensor and its cables should be handled carefully and they should be loosely
wound when not used. The temperature probe and its cables should be handled carefully. The
cables may be mechanically damaged when tightened excessively.
Warning

Before use, please check whether the probe cables are undamaged. When the temperature probe
cable is pulled out of its jack, the prompting message will be displayed on the screen that
„T1/T2
Module Disconnected
‟ and alarm sounds.

Body temperature measure checking should be conducted once every two years (in accordance
with hospital-stipulated calibration cycles). Please contact the manufacturers when the calibration
cycle is coming.

Disposable body temperature sensor is only applicable for one animal and reuse is not allowed
even it is sterilized.

Please dispose out-of-service body temperature sensors by following local laws and regulations for
this sort of or similar products when they are damaged beyond repair or the service life is due.

The body surface temperature sensor should be firmly attached on the animal.

If disposable temperature sensor is used, insert the temperature cable into the jack, and then
connect the probe and cable.
6.6.3 Measure Procedure
1. Select appropriate body temperature probe according to animal category and measuring requirements.
2. Insert the body temperature probe into the jacks labeled with ‗T1‘ and ‗T2‘ on the left panel.
3. Adhere the body temperature probe onto animal‘s body firmly.
4. Confirm that alarm setting is suitable for this animal.
5. Switch on the system power source and start the monitor.
