Using Skin Temperature Measurement - Dräger Caleo Instructions For Use Manual

Using skin temperature measurement

NOTE
Directly before using the skin temperature sensors: Insert the
yellow skin temperature sensor or white peripheral skin
temperature sensor in the yellow or white socket and wait for
the measurement signal to appear on screen.
WARNING
To protect the device againt electrostatic discharging,
do not touch the socket
1
Measurement signal from the yellow skin temperature
sensor (T1)
2 Measurement signal from the white peripheral temperature
sensor (T2)
NOTE
If no measurement signal appears, replace the sensor
(page 115).
NOTE
Skin temperature measurement can be used in air tempera-
ture 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
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
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
grommets.
Remove the protective foil from the adhesive pad and place
the skin temperature sensor on the pad.
Using the adhesive pad, attach the sensor tip to the
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
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
back, preferably in the area of the kidneys.
Positioning the peripheral temperature sensor (white):
Stick the white sensor with the adhesive pad on the
extremities, preferably on the foot or arm.
