16.4 Blood Temperature Monitoring
Blood temperature monitoring can function when C.O. measurement is not taken. The blood
temperature is measured by the thermistor situated in the distal end of the flotation catheter in the
pulmonary artery.
The blood temperature alarm function will not work during the C.O. measurement. When the
measurement ends, the function will automatically resume.
The current blood temperature is displayed in the C.O. parameter area.
