Temperature Monitoring Temperature Probes
Directions For Use And Precautions
1. If a patient has to be intubated with an endotracheal tube, perform the intubation prior
to placing the temperature probe into esophagus.
2. Lubricate the temperature probe prior to insertion and place the probe in accordance
with currently acceptable medical procedures.
3. Verify position of the probe by acceptable medical procedures.
4. Align the sensor’s connector with the monitor cable’s connector and push firmly to assure
full contact. Forced mating of the connectors without proper alignment may cause
damage to the connectors and interruption in electrical continuity.
WARNING: During the surgical procedures which employ electro-
cautery, use currently acceptable procedures to minimize
conditions of the thermistor and lead wires functioning as
an alternate path for radio-frequency current to return to
ground, causing localized tissue burns. Procedures which
may minimize risk of electro-surgical burns are: keep both
active and ground electrodes of the electro-cautery system
in close proximity so that the temperature sensor is outside
the radio-frequency current field; keep the temperature
monitor with its associated cables separated from electro-
cautery systems. Unusual, fast artificial variations in
temperature readings may occur with concomitant
applications of the electro-cautery system.
WARNING: Sterile unless unit container is opened or damaged.
CAUTION: Single use.
Destroy after single use.
Do not resterilize.
Federal (U.S.A.) law restricts this device to sale by or on the
order of a physician.
