Chapter 14 Monitoring TEMP
14.1 Overview
Body temperature is measured by means of a thermistor probe (a semiconductor whose resistance
changes with temperature) that is applied to the skin or to the rectum.
Two TEMP probes can be used simultaneously to measure two TEMP values and get the
temperature difference. The standard configuration is skin probe for adult.
14.2 TEMP Safety Information
1
Verify probe cables fault detection before the beginning of monitoring phase. Unplug
the temperature probe cable of the channe1 from the socket, and then the screen will
display the error message TEMP T1 Sensor Off and the auditory alarm is activated. It
is the same to the other channel.
2
Take the TEMP probe and cable carefully. When they are not in use, you should coil
up the probe and cable into a loose circle. If the wire inside the cable is tensely pulled,
it may cause mechanical damage to the probe and the cable.
3
Temperature probes do not need any probe covers; Please remember to disinfect the
probe after each use on a patient.
NOTE:
1
The reference body site temperature is the same as the temperature of the
measuring site.
2
The cumulative use time for the oral or rectal temperature probe in a single patient
should be less than 24 hours.
14.3 Selecting TEMP Sensor Type
The user can choose the TEMP sensor type as the temperature signal source.
To configure the TEMP sensor type, select Menu > Maintenance > User Maintain > Other
Setups , and set TEMP Sensor to YSI-10K or YSI-2.252K .
14.4 Switching T1/T2 On/Off
In Menu > System Setup > Module Switch , T1 or T2 can be switched on/off separately and
won't be affected by each other.
14.5 TEMP Monitoring Setup
With a reusable TEMP probe you can plug the probe directly into the TEMP connector on
the monitor.
Apply the TEMP probes securely to the patient.
Switch on the monitor.
