9.5 Maternal TEMP Monitoring

9.5.1 TEMP Monitoring Procedure

1) Insert the TEMP plug into the TEMP socket on the monitor.
2) Apply the sensor firmly underneath the patient‟s axilla. It takes 5 minutes for the temperature
measurement to stabilize.
1 Check if the TEMP sensor functions properly prior to use.
2 Do not apply the TEMP sensor to the mouth or the rectum.
Be cautious when taking and putting the TEMP sensor. Do not pull the cable too tight or
it might cause mechanical damage.
The transient response time for the continuous TEMP sensor is not larger than 30s. The
laboratory method used to test the response time is as follows:
1. Prepare two reference temperature sources. The first one with a constant temperature of 25º C
(77º F) and the second one with a constant temperature of 27º C (80.6º F).
2. Put the TEMP sensor to the first reference temperature source until the temperature reading
reaches 25º C (77º F).
3. Move the TEMP sensor to the second reference temperature source. Note the time (t1) from
the TEMP sensor being moved in to the temperature reading reaching 27º C (80.6º F).
4. When the temperature reading is stable, move the TEMP sensor back to the first reference
temperature source. Note the time (t2) from the TEMP sensor being moved in to the
temperature reading falling to 25º C (77º F).
5. The larger value of t1 and t2 is the response time.
Note：
The reference body site temperature is the same as the temperature of the
measuring site.
