Measuring Temperature
All configurations of petMAP+II are capable of monitoring temperature, provided that the proper
accessories are purchased. The necessary accessories include a temperature extension cable (#9014)
and either an esophageal probe (#8040) and/or a rectal probe (#8041). The temperature extension
cable is 2 meters long and serves to connect the probe to the device more conveniently than using the
temperature probe plugged directly into the device.
To monitor temperature, carefully insert the probe into the patient using traditional clinical procedures,
and connect the probe to the extension and the extension to the top of the unit. Temperature
automatically displays once the unit detects that the temperature is within the physiologic range.
Temperature can be displayed in either degrees F or C but it is set initially to display degrees F. To
change between degrees F and degrees C display, simply press and release directly on the currently
displayed temperature value to toggle between Fahrenheit and Celsius Modes. Temperature is also
trended in the data display area in purple.
