Using Skin Temperature Measurement
Using Skin Temperature Measurement
Checking proper function of the temperature sensors
Immediately before using the yellow skin temperature sensor
or the white peripheral sensor, insert it into the yellow or white
socket, respectively, and wait for a measurement signal to
appear on screen.
1 Measurement signal from the yellow skin temperature
sensor (T1)
2 Measurement signal from the white peripheral temperature
sensor (T2)
If no measurement signal appears, the respective sensor must
be replaced (page 145).
Using skin temperature measurement in air or skin
temperature control modes.
Connect the temperature sensors for measuring skin and
peripheral temperature:
z Push yellow skin temperature connector into yellow socket
on the sensor unit (T1, skin or "tummy" temperature) as far
as it will go.
NOTE: When using skin temperature control mode, the
servo control is performed with reference to this sensor.
z Push white peripheral temperature sensor connector into
the white socket on the sensor unit (T2, peripheral or "toe"
temperature, or when using air temperature control mode
for twins, the skin temperature of the second infant).
z Route sensor cable through one of the flexible U-grommets.
z Remove protective foil from the adhesive pad and place skin
temperature sensor on the pad.
z Using the adhesive pad, attach sensor tip to the appropriate
part of the infant’s skin.
Positioning the skin temperature sensor (yellow):
If the infant is lying on his/her back:
z With its adhesive pad, attach yellow sensor to the abdomen,
near the liver.
If the infant is lying on his/her belly:
z Attach yellow sensor with its adhesive pad to the back,
preferably near the kidneys.
