14 Monitoring Temperature (Temp)
14.1 Temperature Introduction
You can continuously monitor the patient’s skin temperature and core temperature. Thermally sensitive resistors
(thermistors) are used. They are based on the principle that electrical resistance of the thermistor changes as
temperature changes. Thermistors measure the resistance change and use it to calculate the temperature.
You can simultaneously monitor up to two temperature sites and calculate the difference between two
measured sites.
Temperature monitoring is intended for adult, pediatric and neonatal patients.
14.2 Displaying the Temp Numerics Area

1. Access Tile Layout in either of the following ways:
◆ Select the Screen Setup quick key → select the Tile Layout tab.

2. Plug the probe or temperature cable to the temperature connector. If you are using a disposable probe,
connect the probe to the temperature cable.
3. Follow the probe manufacturer’s instructions to connect the probe to the patient.
