Dräger 8000 NC - Thermomonitoring.28

Operation
Using skin temperature control
ThermoMonitoring
ThermoMonitoring, optional
For a better diagnosis of the child's thermal condition, it
is recommended that the temperature is measured both
centrally and peripherally. Both temperature measurements
may be displayed graphically via a Windows-PC or a
Drager BabyScreen to document both the progress of
therapy for the child and the therapy itself.
Incubator must have:
- Second socket for peripheral skin temperature
sensor.
- Operator panel with @ key
- BabyLink interface and MediCable connecting cable
(optional).
ThermoMonitoring data may be displayed on:
- Babyguard 8000 patient monitor
- BabyScreen (optional)
- Windows PC with ThermoView programme (optional).
Follow relevant Assembly and Operating Instructions.
