infant skin temperature
(from the peripheral skin
probe) is > 38.0 °C when
the temperature override
mode is not active, or >
39.0 °C when the > 37 °C
mode of operation is active.
Verify that the sensor is cor-
rectly attached to the

this alarm is activated if the
incubator temperature
reaches 39.8 °C for any
temperature set point.
Switch off the incubator and
remove it from service.
