Temperature Check
To perform the temperature check a precision thermometer preferably with a skin type sensor is needed.
The built in temperature monitor with an YSI400 type sensor (having an specified accuracy better than
±0,2°C) may be used.
Note
:
In this procedure the standard type Kanmed Water Mattress must be used.
•
Make up the bed as for normal use and place the temperature sensor in the centre
on top of
,
and
fixed in direct contact with the Water Mattress (e.g. using a surgical tape or similar). Cover the sensor
with some insulating material. Check that there is no air in the Water Mattress.
•
Set the temperature to 37
O
C and allow the system to settle temperature in steady state (note, this
may take several hours).
•
Check that the precision thermometer (or the built in temperature monitor) and the Control Unit
displays the same reading, allowed difference ± 0.7
O
C.
8 Alarm functions, indication and actions
Temperature monitor alerts
These alerts relates to the built in temperature monitor, and does not effect the function of the
BabyWarmer. The temperature monitor is only activated when an YSI400 compatible temperature sensor
is connected. If a temperature monitor alarm condition is detected, the alarm is activated, indicated on the
display by a flashing thermometer icon, audio signal and the yellow LED. After pressing the alarm button,
the alarm will be silenced for 2 minutes. If the alarm condition remains, the alarm will return.
Indication
Description / Operator action

Temperature OK!
(Normally displayed). The measured sensor
temperature is in between the High- and Low alarm limits.
(FLASHING)

Check that the temperature sensor is properly applied to the
patient. Check that the BabyWarmer system is working in a correct way,
and that right temperature settings are used. If the sensor temperature is
rising, but not yet reached up to the Low alarm level, the indicator
indicates blue but not flashing (no alarm condition!).
