7-6 EarlyVue VS30 Instructions for Use
Caution
Do not exceed the recommended measurement periods of three minutes for oral and rectal
measurements and five minutes for axillary measurements.
To change the temperature mode
1 Touch the Temp numeric pane.
The Temperature menu appears, displaying the current settings.
2 Touch the Mode menu and select Predictive or Monitored.
3 Touch Done.
If you select Monitored mode, the Monitored Mode icon appears in the Temp
numeric pane when you remove the probe from the well,
Note
In Predictive and Monitored modes, the monitor can sometimes complete a temperature
reading even though the quality of the measurement is marginal. When this occurs, the
Temp numeric pane display alternates between the measurement value and a question
mark (-?-). The measurement is not saved to the patient record.
Changing the Probe Site
The VS30 uses blue temperature probes for oral and axillary temperature measurements
and red probes for rectal measurements.
When you connect a red probe to the monitor, the probe site defaults to Rectal. When
you connect a blue probe, you must select the appropriate probe site (Oral or Axillary).
Note
The currently selected probe site appears in the Temp numeric pane when you remove
the probe from the probe well.
To select the measurement site
1 Touch the Temp numeric pane.
The Temperature menu appears, displaying the current settings.
2 Touch the Blue Probe Site menu and select Oral or Axillary.
The Red Probe Site menu always has Rectal selected.
