Temperature
282 Instructions for use – Infinity Acute Care System – Monitoring Applications VG6.n
Overview of temperature monitoring
The M540 measures and displays the following
temperature values and relays them to the Cockpit
for display:
– Surface body temperature
– Core temperature
Temperature monitoring is intended for adult,
pediatric, and neonatal patients. All clinical
thermometer readings are a direct measurement.
The temperature monitoring functions are
configurable in the parameter-specific setup page
(see page 287).
Refer to the instructions for use Infinity Acute Care
System – Infinity M540 for a detailed description of
the M540 temperature functions.
Before performing any monitoring functions, refer
to the section "For your safety and that of your
patients" on page 13. Parameter-specific error
messages are listed on page 537.
Supported parameters
– Ta/T1a: direct temperature values
– Tb/T1b: direct temperature values
∆T/∆T1: temperature difference values
Precautions
NOTE
The temperature functions and associated probes
should be calibrated every two years by qualified
personnel to maintain an accuracy of ±0.1 °C
(
±0.2 °F).
WARNING
Protective covers for general purpose probes
contain latex.
NOTE
Cover internally placed reusable temperature
sensors with temperature sensor sheaths.
NOTE
After starting the body temperature measure-
ment, it takes some time until the monitor displays
the actual value. This time period depends on the
difference in temperature between environment
and body.
