Chapter 12 Monitoring Temperature
Selecting and Applying Temperature Probes
You should use only temperature probes that are approved for use with the X Series unit. See
Appendix B, Accessories for a list of ZOLL-approved temperature probes. The use of other
probes that do not match the performance specifications of the ZOLL-approved probes may
produce incorrect temperature readings.
To apply the temperature probe to the patient, follow your organization's standard procedures.
Always refer to probe manufacturer's Directions for Use before using the probe.
Warning!
•
The application and use of metal-jacketed temperature probes that come in contact
with conductive objects or clinical personnel during electrocautery may cause burns
at the point of contact between the patient and the temperature probe.
•
To ensure safe and reliable operation including biocompatibility, use only ZOLL-
approved temperature probes.
Connecting the Temperature Probe
To connect the temperature probe, insert the probe's 1/4" plug into one of the two connection
jacks on the side of the X Series unit.
