TEMP Monitoring
14-3
14.2 Measurement Procedure
To measure the temperature of a patient,
1. If a disposable temperature probe is used, plug the temperature probe cable in
the temperature probe connector on the side panel of the monitor, and then
connect the temperature probe with the cable; if a reusable temperature probe is
used, connect the temperature probe with the temperature probe connector
directly.
2. Attach the temperature probe to the patient properly.
3. Power on the monitor.
NOTE
z
Disposable temperature probes are for single patient use only.
z
The self-test of the temperature measurement is performed once per
hour during monitoring. This self-test lasts about 2 seconds and does
not affect the normal measurement of temperature.
WARNING
z
Verify probe cable fault detection before beginning monitoring. Unplug
the temperature probe cable of channel 1 or channel 2 from the
connector on the monitor. The monitor will display the prompt
information “T1 SENSOR OFF” or “T2 SENSOR OFF” and an audible
alarm is activated. The other channel is the same.
z
Be careful to avoid damaging the temperature probe and cable. When
the temperature probe and cable are not in use, shape them into a loose
round. If the cable is tangled too tightly or over-bent, mechanical
damage may occur.
z
The calibration of the temperature measurement function is required
every two years (or as dictated by your Hospital Procedures Policy). If
you need to calibrate the temperature measurement function, contact
our Customer Service.
