Skin Temperature Control - Dräger caleo Instructions For Use Manual

Values going back a maximum of seven days in the past can
be accessed. In addition, the desired time window can be set
(between 3 hours and seven days).
With the "Trend Main Page" option selected from the main
menu, the user can preconfigure which trend to display when
switching over between numerical display and trend display.
In addition to displaying the two skin temperatures, the display
can show the following parameters: air temperature, humidity
* *
oxygen and the weight , with a memory of up to 30 weight
readings.

Skin temperature control

®
Caleo is operated in skin temperature mode, this mode can
be set on the control unit. At least the yellow skin temperature
sensor (skin 1) must be plugged in and correctly attached to
the patient. The user sets the set value for the skin temperature
on the control panel. The actual skin temperature of the patient
is measured by the yellow skin temperature sensor (skin 1) and
compared with the set value.
The difference between the set value and the measured actual
value is used to control the air temperature in Caleo
o
a minimum of 20 C and a maximum of 39
If the set value is greater than the currently measured skin
temperature (skin too cold), the heater receives a signal to
supply more heat. The air temperature in Caleo
also increasing the skin temperature of the patient.
If the set value is lower than the actual measured air tempera-
ture (skin too hot), the heater receives a signal to apply less
heat. The air temperature inside Caleo
reducing the skin temperature of the patient.
The longer the deviation between the set value and the actual
measured value persists, the more powerfully heat is supplied
by the heater (if the skin is too cold) or the more the air temper-
®
ature in Caleo is reduced (if the skin is too hot).
Waiting for the controller to settle.
The patient's skin temperature varies frequently, e.g. due to
food intake or medical care. Deviations of a few tenths of a
degree are normal.
Therefore:
Only change the set value of the skin temperature if the core
temperature needs to be changed.
If the actual temperature deviates from the set skin tempera-

ture by more than ±0.5 C
This audible alarm can be muted by the user. As soon as
the measured value deviates from the set value by less than
