13.2 Measurement Procedure
To measure the temperature of a patient,
1. If a disposable temperature probe is used, plug the temperature probe cable in the
temperature probe connector on the side panel of the monitor, and then connect the
temperature probe with the cable; if a reusable temperature probe is used, connect the
temperature probe with the temperature probe connector directly.
2. Attach the temperature probe to the patient properly.
3. Power on the monitor.
NOTE
z Disposable temperature probes are for single patient use only.
z The self-test of the temperature measurement is performed once per hour
during monitoring. This self-test lasts about 2 seconds and does not affect the
normal measurement of temperature.
WARNING
z Verify probe cable fault detection before beginning monitoring. Unplug the
temperature probe cable of channel 1 or channel 2 from the connector on the
monitor. The monitor will display the prompt information “T1 SENSOR OFF”
or “T2 SENSOR OFF” and an audible alarm is activated. The other channel is
the same.
z Be careful to avoid damaging the temperature probe and cable. When the
temperature probe and cable are not in use, shape them into a loose round. If
the cable is tangled too tightly or over-bent, mechanical damage may occur.
z The calibration of the temperature measurement function is required every two
years (or as dictated by your Hospital Procedures Policy). If you need to
calibrate the temperature measurement function, contact our Customer Service.
