Skin Temperature Monitoring (Skin Temperature Probe: Yellow and White)4-1-2.
Either °C or °F is selectable as the unit of the temperature to be displayed on the control panel. The
results of skin temperature monitoring can be displayed in Fahrenheit (°F) if desired. Be careful not
to be confused about the unit of the displayed temperature when you have switched from one to
the other by pressing .
To monitor the infant’s skin temperature continuously on the operation panel of the unit, attach the skin tem-
perature probe to the infant.
(1) Before attaching the skin temperature probe to the
infant, clean the site of attachment with alcohol or
lukewarm water to get rid of any fetal fat or dirt.
(2) Attach the skin temperature probe to a site between
the navel and the xiphoid process on the infant’s
abdominal median line with the “Cover Baby.” Affix
a piece of tape at a short distance from the tip of the
probe and fix the probe securely to the skin.
Follow the doctor’s instructions as to the site of at-
●
tachment of the skin temperature probe when the
infant is in a prone position. The skin temperature
probe is for monitoring the skin temperature and
does not monitor the core temperature. Check
the infant’s condition continuously, especially for
any sign of fever or hypothermia.
