Temperature practicalities
●
Each temperature label can be changed to reflect the temperature measurement
site.
●
Individual temperature sites can be turned off.
●
Tblood is obtained from a pulmonary artery catheter.
●
The difference between two temperature sites can be calculated and displayed.
●
The dual temperature cable allows a two-channel measurement. The temperature
cable switch can be set to 400 or 700 depending on the type of probe used. Since
only 400 is supported, make sure that you turn the switch to this position.
●
The signal input is a high-insulation port to ensure patient safety and to protect the
device during defibrillation and electrosurgery.
●
The monitor automatically calibrates the temperature measurements at startup:
every 10 minutes for PSM, and every minute for PDM and TRAM.
