Monitoring Temp
10.1 Overview
The SmarTemp™ Temp module is intended for monitoring oral, axillary and rectal
temperature of adult and pediatric patients and axillary temperature of neonatal
patients.
Temperature can be measured in either Predictive mode or Monitor mode. The default is
Predictive mode.
WARNING
•
Do not take oral temperature on the infant (0-3 years).
•
Do not take rectal temperature on the neonate (0-28 days).
•
Use only the specified temperature probe and probe cover. Using other
probe or probe cover, or not using probe cover may cause damage to the
monitor or failure to meet the declared specifications in this manual.
•
The temperature probe cover is disposable. Re-use of probe cover may result
in patient cross-contamination.
•
Use disposable probe covers for temperature measurement. Failure to use a
probe cover can cause inaccurate temperature readings, and patient cross-
contamination.
•
Check the disposable probe cover for damage before using. Never use any
probe cover that show signs of damage or contamination for temperature
measurement.
•
Be careful to avoid damaging the temperature probe. Place the temperature
probe in the probe well when not in use.
•
Prior to taking a temperature, instruct the patient not to bite down on the
probe
, as patient injury and damage to the probe may result.
•
Ensure that probe covers are disposed of according to local regulations or
hospital's requirements.
•
Accuracy verification of the temperature module is required every two years
or according to your hospital’s policy. Please contact Mindray Technical
Support department if accuracy verification is needed.
