Operating the OmniBed
Attaching the Skin Temperature Probe
1. Place the skin probe on the baby’s skin. If the baby is
prone, place the probe on the baby’s back. Make sure the
baby’s skin is clean and dry before applying the probe. If
you are using the OmniBed as a warmer, the probe must
be directly in the path of the radiant heat. Doing any of the
following may result in under or over heating the baby:
• Do not place the probe between the baby and the
mattress- inaccurate readings will result.
• Do not remove the reflective foil from the disposable
probe or reflective patch. Do not use a probe without a
reflective patch. Replace the patch when repositioning
the probe or when adhesive strength degrades.
• Do not pull on the probe wire. Remove the probe from
the skin by gently pulling on the adhesive patch. Re-
move the probe from the jack panel by grasping the plug
at the panel.
• Regularly check that the probe is attached- if the probe
is not in contact with the baby’s skin inaccurate readings
will result.
• Only use Ohmeda Medical probes; other manufacturers
probes are not calibrated to Ohmeda Medical equip-
ment. Using probes from other manufacturers may
cause inaccurate temperature readings, may not comply
with safety standards, and will void your Ohmeda
Medical equipment warranty.
• When using phototherapy lamps, the probe must be
directly in the path of the radiant heat of the lamp; do
not place the probe in an area shielded from the lamp’s
light. The phototherapy lamp may raise the baby’s skin
temperature.
• Do not use rectal temperatures to control the baby’s
temperature.
• Do not remove the probe from its storage bag until
required for use. Replace the probe if the cable or tip
becomes damaged.
2. To attach the disposable probe (single use only), peel the
paper backing from the adhesive side and apply to the
baby’s skin, with the reflective foil side up.
To attach the reusable probe, use the heat reflecting patch.
Place the metal side of the probe against the baby’s skin,
peel the paper backing from the adhesive side of the patch
and place the patch over the probe with the reflective foil
side up.
3. Route the probe wire through the tubing access covers at
the corners of the bed sides or through the ventilator slot in
the back side wall.
4. Plug the probe wire into the jack panel.
Note: The OmniBed cannot differentiate between an
increase in core temperature with cold skin (fever), and low
core and skin temperatures (hypothermia). Patient tem-
perature should be verified with an axillary thermometer.
