Setup
High sensor temperatures on the skin’s surface offer the greatest degree of accuracy
and can quickly detect a change in the patient’s condition. However, the heat from the
sensor may cause severe burns, especially in neonates. On the tpO
2
/CO
2
setup menu,
you can restrict the application time of the sensor and establish a temperature set point
(the target temperature for heating the sensor during calibration).
The tpO
2
/CO
2
pod's settings for altitude and barometric pressure influence the
measurement. The tpO
2
/CO
2
pod contains an internal pressure sensor that measures
current barometric pressure, which changes with altitude and weather conditions. The
monitor allows you either to rely on the barometric pressure values generated
automatically by the pod or manually enter pressure values obtained with an external
barometer. Readings are displayed on the tpO
2
/CO
2
setup menu.
