6.
To change probes, remove the isolation chamber as described previously.
7.
Grasp the sides of the L-shaped connector piece with one hand and then using other hand
pull backward on the latch holding the end of the L-shaped connector.
8.
Once free of the latch, slide the L-shaped connector out of isolation chamber.
9.
To replace, properly align the top of the L-shaped connector to the slot on the back of the
isolation chamber.
10. Then slide the connector up into the slot pressing firmly on the bottom of the connector until
it "clicks" into place.
14.2.4 Measuring Mode
Predictive Mode
When MEASURE MODE is set to PREDICT, the monitor operates in Predictive Mode to
provide fast and accurate temperature measurements.
Quick Predictive Mode
When MEASURE MODE is set to QUICK PREDICT, the monitor operates in Quick
Predictive Mode which is an oral predictive measurement mode intended for situations where fast
temperature measurements are desired.
Quick Predictive Mode allows clinicians to rapidly identify patients with "normal" body
temperatures. If the patient temperature is outside of the "normal" range, the monitor will
automatically switch into its standard predictive mode to provide a more accurate reading.
Quick Predictive Mode is not available when in Low Temp. Mode.
Monitoring Mode
When MEASURE MODE is set to MONITOR, the monitor will perform continual temperature
measurement for a maximum of 10 minutes. Only measure mode 'MONITOR' can be displayed
in TEMP parameter area.
Besides, in the following instances, the monitor will automatically switch to Monitoring Mode and
perform temperature measurement for a maximum of 5 minutes until the temperature stabilizes:
1.
When the monitor operates in Predictive Mode, no measurement site is detected or the
temperature does not stabilize.
2.
When the monitor operates in Predictive Mode or Quick Predictive Mode, the ambient
temperature is greater than 35 °C (95 °F).
Low Temp. Mode
Low Temp. Mode is provided for use in applications where body temperatures may be lower than
"normal", such as for patients recently out of surgery.
The accuracy and measurement time of Low Temp. Mode measurements are equivalent to
standard prediction measurements at the respective body sites.
