Description
2 To attach the disposable probe (single use
only), peel the paper backing from the adhe-
sive side and apply to the baby’s skin, with
the reective foil side up. To attach the reus-
able probe, use the heat reecting patch.
Place the metal side of the probe against
the baby’s skin, peel the paper backing from
the adhesive side of the patch and place the
patch over the probe with the reective foil
side up.
3 Route the probe wire through the gaps at
the corner of the bedside panels or through
the one of the slots in the rear bedside panel.
4 Plug the temperature probe into the jack.
NOTE:
The Girae Warmer cannot dierentiate between an increase in core temperature with cold
skin (fever), and low core and skin temperatures (hypothermia). Patient temperature should
be veried with an axillary thermometer.
