Using Skin Temperature Control
WARNING !
Always verify that single use sensor probe is
specified and approved for use with Dräger
Series 8000 incubators.
Attach sensor tip to skin at an appropriate measuring
point using a skin probe adhesive cover pad (if not
part of the sensor itself).
Keep sensor cable in place with adhesive tape as
necessary to provide strain relief.
WARNING !
The sensor probe must never be placed under
the baby. it would be measuring and attempt-
ing to control core temperature rather than
skin temperature in this case.
Check regularly that the skin temperature sensor is
properly fixed to the baby's skin.
WARNING !
A displaced or detached skin temperature
sensor would be measuring air temperature
so that the baby could become overheated
(the temperature of the air in the incubator
would, however, not exceed 39 °C).
WARNING !
Do not use skin temperature sensors to
rectally measure core temperature.
