Using Skin Temperature Control - Dräger caleo Instructions For Use Manual

Operation

Using skin temperature control

Using skin temperature control
Immediately before using the yellow skin temperature
sensor or the white peripheral sensor, insert it in the
yellow or white socket and wait for the measurement
signal to appear on screen.
1 Measurement signal from the yellow skin temperature
sensor (T1)
2 Measurement signal from the white peripheral temperature
sensor (T2)
If no measurement signal appears, the sensor must be
replaced (page 113).
Using skin temperature measurement in air temperature
control mode or skin temperature control mode.
Connect the temperature sensors for measuring the skin
temperature and peripheral temperature:
Push the yellow skin temperature connector as far as it will
l
go into the yellow connection socket of the sensor unit (skin
temperature, T1). When using skin temperature control, the
control functions refer to this sensor.
Push the white peripheral temperature sensor connector as
l
far as it will go into the white connection socket of the sensor
unit (peripheral temperature, or skin temperature of the twin
in the case of air temperature control mode, T2).
Route the sensor cable through one of the flexible tubing
l
grommets.
Remove the protective foil from the adhesive pad and place
l
the skin temperature sensor on the pad.
Using the adhesive pad, attach the sensor tip to the
l
appropriate part of the baby's skin.
Positioning the skin temperature sensor (yellow):
If the baby is lying on his/her back:
Stick the yellow sensor with the adhesive pad on the baby's
l
abdomen, in the area of the liver.
If the baby is lying on his/her belly:
Stick the yellow sensor with the adhesive pad on the baby's
l
back, preferably in the area of the kidneys.
Positioning the peripheral temperature sensor (white):
Stick the white sensor with the adhesive pad on the
l
extremities, preferably on the foot or arm.
Use only Dräger sensors or sensors authorised by
®
Dräger for the Caleo .
Disposable sensors must not be cleaned for re-use.
If used more than once, the necessary measurement
precision cannot be guaranteed.
To attach temperature sensors to the patient, use only
™
ThermoPad adhesive pads or similar adhesive pads
with aluminium film.
