Operation
WARNING
Risk to patient due to incorrect use of the skin temperature probe
If the rectal temperature is measured with the skin temperature probes, the device
displays incorrect values or regulates the temperature based on incorrect values.
► Only use the yellow skin temperature probe for measuring the central skin
temperature.
► Only use the white skin temperature probe for measuring the peripheral skin
temperature.
1 Before the probe is placed on the skin, thoroughly clean and dry the skin area
where the probe is to be placed.
2 Place the yellow skin temperature probe on the infant.
 When the infant is on their back or side, place the yellow probe on the
abdomen (B), halfway between the xyphoid and the umbilicus.
 When the infant is prone, place the yellow probe on the back of the infant.
3 Attach the probe to the infant using a Care-For-Me cover (C) or ThermoPad
cover.
 Remove the backing from the Care-For-Me cover or ThermoPad cover, and
attach the probe.
 To stabilize the attached probe, place another Care-For-Me cover or
ThermoPad cover over the probe wire approximately 3 cm (1 in) to 4 cm
(1.5 in) from the tip of the probe.
4 If planning to use peripheral skin temperature probe, place the white probe on
the infant at either hand or foot.
