Dräger Caleo Instructions For Use Manual page 71

Positioning the peripheral temperature sensor (white):
With its adhesive pad, attach white sensor to the
extremities, preferably the foot or arm.
Use only Dräger sensors or sensors authorized by Dräger for
use with Caleo.
WARNING !
Always verify that temperature sensors are specified and
approved for use with Dräger 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
aluminum film.
WARNING !
Do not use skin temperature sensor (yellow) or
peripheral temperature sensor (white) to measure rectal
(central) temperature!
Do not locate sensor under the infant, otherwise
measurement and control would be performed with
reference to infant central temperature instead of skin
temperature.
WARNING !
Regularly check that skin temperature sensor is properly
attached to the infant's skin! A skin temperature probe
that has fallen off would be measuring air temperature
with a risk of overheating the infant (although the air
temperature would not rise above 39
NOTE: When a skin temperature sensor is attached, measured
skin temperature is displayed even when "air temperature
control" is the active mode. However, incubator temperature is
not controlled as a function of skin temperature in this case.
