Chapter 16 Monitoring TEMP
16.1 TEMP Monitoring
Body temperature is measured by means of a thermistor probe (a semiconductor whose resistance
changes with temperature) that is applied to the skin or to the rectum.
Two TEMP probes can be used simultaneously to measure two TEMP values, and get the
temperature difference. The standard configuration is axilla sensor for adult.
The reference body site temperature is the same as the temperature of the measuring site.
TEMP Monitoring Setup
With a reusable TEMP probe you can plug the probe directly into the TEMP connector.
Apply the TEMP probes securely to the patient.
Switch on the monitor.
It takes 5 minutes for the temperature measurement to stabilize.
WARNING
1 Verify probe cables fault detection before the beginning of monitoring phase. Unplug
the temperature probe cable of the channe1 from the socket, and then the screen will
display the error message TEMP1 SENSOR OFF and the audible alarm is activated.
It is the same to the other channel.
2 Take the TEMP probe and cable carefully. When they are not in use, you should coil
up the probe and cable into a loose circle. If the wire inside the cable is tensely pulled,
it may cause mechanical damage to the probe and the cable.
3 Verification of the temperature module is necessary as frequently as dictated by your
Hospital Procedures Policy. When you need to calibrate the temperature
measurement, please contact the manufacturer.
4 Temperature probes do not need any probe covers; please remember to disinfect the
probe after each use on a patient.
