Temperature
●
For more detailed information regarding the temperature probes, refer to their
own instructions for use.
●
Depending on the temperature module used, not all temperature measurements
and settings are available to view or change.
●
The temperature measurement uses direct mode. Displayed temperature values
represent the probe temperature of the measurement site on the patient.
●
If two temperature measurement modules that map to the same temperature
channel are connected, the first detected temperature measurement module is
assigned to the indicated temperature channel. When this occurs, a technical
alarm indicating identical modules is generated.
●
A temperature channel is activated when the module detects a temperature probe.
●
A temperature channel is deactivated when a temperature probe is detached
from the module.
●
A deactivated temperature channel does not release the assigned temperature
channel. To release an assigned temperature channel, remove the module from
the system.
