Temperature must be performed by the operator:
TECOTHERM NEO rectal temperature probe *) should be disconnected and
removed. It is inactive
BCT monitoring requires installation of another independent accurate calibrated
temperature probe (rectal probe or bladder catheter sensor) with a separate display
showing the rectal temperature.
Note
Operator may continue to use the skin sensor connected to port “
S
” of the
TECOTHERM NEO device as an auxiliary means if no other probes are available.
That temperature is displayed on the screen in the small parameter boxes in the
upper part of the display feature DIAGRAM and as temperature profile in the display
feature DIAGRAM, see section 7.3 of this IfU.
Change to the Main MENU and select treatment mode 3 Constant Mattress
