Dräger Caleo Instructions For Use Manual page 50

Operation
Using skin temperature measurement
WARNING
Risk to patient from using skin temperature sensors that
are not approved by Dräger for Caleo. Overheating or
hypothermia of patient is possible due to large measure-
ment deviation.
Use only Dräger skin temperature sensors or sensors
authorised by Dräger for Caleo
WARNING
Reuse of the disposable skin temperature sensors can
impair the required measuring accuracy, risk to patient
possible due to inadequate measurement accuracy.
Disposable sensors must not be cleaned for re-use.
CAUTION
Using an adhesive pad other than the ThermoPad adhesive
pad can impair the required measurement accuracy, risk to
patient possible.
To attach skin temperature sensors to the patient, use only
ThermoPad adhesive pads or similar adhesive pads with
aluminium film.
WARNING
Overheating of the patient is possible if the skin tempera-
ture sensor has fallen off, as a sensor that has falled off
measures the air temperature. However, the air tempera-
ture does not exceed 39
Monitor the body temperature continuously.
CAUTION
When measuring the rectal temperature with the yellow skin
temperature sensor or the white peripheral temperature
sensor, incorrect values are displayed, or the temperature is
controlled on the basis of incorrect values.
Do not use the yellow skin temperature sensor or the periph-
eral temperature sensor to measure the rectal temperature.
CAUTION
If the air temperature control mode is activated and the skin
temperature sensor plugged in, the temperature is not
controlled based on the skin temperature. Only the measured
skin temperature is displayed. However, in this case,
the temperature is not controlled as a function of skin
temperature.
