WARNING
Risk of burns! Children who are in shock have a considerably lower
skin temperature than normal and would be overheated when using
the skin-temperature control mode. Do not use the skin-temperature
control mode in children who are in shock!
WARNING
Risk of hypothermia! Children who have a fever have a considerably
higher skin temperature than normal and would get hypothermia
when using the skin-temperature control mode. Do not use the skin-
temperature control mode in children who have a fever!
WARNING
Risk of incorrect measurements! When using the skin-temperature
sensor in “skin-temperature control” mode to measure rectal temper-
ature, the core temperature would be measured and controlled. Never
