Chapter 15 Monitoring Quick TEMP
15.1 Overview
Quick temperature measurement is to establish thermal balance between probe and human body.
When the probe is placed on the measurement site until a steady reading is available - after
approximately three minutes for oral and rectal measurements and five minutes for axillary
measurements. And the measurement temperature is the monitoring temperature. The temperature
curve in this process has a certain discipline. The approximatively actual temperature curve can
be simulated by temperature data sampled earlier. The temperature at thermal balance is
calculated through the specific algorithm based on the curve.
The monitor can only measure temperature of adult and pediatric patients. If the user measures
temperature of neonatal patient, the monitor will not display data. The oral/axillary sensor and
rectal sensor are of standard configuration.
15.2 Quick TEMP Safety Information
WARNING
1 To ensure optimal accuracy, always confirm that the correct mode and alarm limit are
selected. Changing the measure position may lead to the change of alarm limit.
2 Verify probe cables fault detection before the beginning of monitoring phase. Unplug
the temperature probe cable from the socket, and then the screen will display the
error message TEMP SENSOR OFF and the auditory alarm is activated.
3 Take the TEMP probe and cable carefully. When they are not in use, you should coil
up the probe and cable into a loose circle. If the wire inside the cable is tensely pulled,
it may cause mechanical damage to the probe and the cable.
4 Verification of the temperature module is necessary as frequently as dictated by your
Hospital Procedures Policy. When you need to calibrate the temperature
measurement, please contact the manufacturer.
5 Patient actions may interfere with accurate oral temperature readings. Ingesting hot or
cold liquids, eating food, chewing gum or mints, brushing teeth, smoking or
performing strenuous activity may affect temperature readings for up to 20 min after
activity has ended.
6 Do not take an axillary temperature through patient’s clothing. Direct probe cover to
skin contact is required.
7 Biting the sensor tip while taking a temperature may result in damage to the sensor.
