Temperature Measurement
The optional SmarTemp™ TEMP module is intended for monitoring oral, auxiliary, and rectal
temperature of adult and pediatric patients and auxiliary temperature of neonatal patients.
TEMP TYPE can be set to PREDICTIVE or MONITOR (see Section 3.12.1). The default TEMP
TYPE is PREDICTIVE.
NOTE:
If the patient size is adult or pediatric, the Accutorr V
automatically selects oral as the measurement site if the
oral/axillary temperature probe is in use. You can change
the measurement site in the TEMP SETUP dialog.
NOTE:
If the patient size is neonatal, the Accuttor V automatically
selects axillary as the measurement site if the oral
temperature probe is in use. In this case, you cannot change
measurement site.
PREDICTIVE MODE:
In PREDICTIVE mode, the TEMP probe warms up automatically as the
probe is withdrawn from the probe sheath. Warming takes approximately 10 seconds, and
the monitor beeps twice when the probe is up to temperature. The monitor beeps once when
the patient’s temperature is obtained, which takes approximately 10 to12 seconds. The
temperature reading remains on the display until the probe is removed from the sheath
again.
CAUTION:
In PREDICTIVE mode, place the temperature probe in the
measurement site when probe warm-up is completed or an
inaccurate temperature reading may result.
The Accutorr V automatically enters the predict mode when the probe is replaced in the
probe sheath.
MONITOR MODE:
In MONITOR mode, the patient’s temperature is obtained in 3 to 5
minutes and the temperature reading is continuously shown as long as the probe is kept at
the measurement position and the patient’s temperature is within the measuring range. In this
mode, the monitor does not beep when the final temperature is obtained.
The monitor automatically enters the MONITOR mode when an accurate temperature is not
reached in the PREDICTIVE mode.
NOTE:
After a measurement, allow 60 seconds for the tip to cool
before proceeding with the next measurement.
