Post-Measurement Processing
Aftermonitoringtemperature,processthesensorasfollows.
Step Action
1Ensurethatajackethasbeenplacedonthesensor(seePlacingthe
SensorinaJacket,onpage11‐5).
2Ifneeded, applylubricanttothejacketforinsertionintothe
patient.
CAUTION CAUTION
Never use petroleum-based lubricants. A water-based lubricant (for
example, Surgical Lubricant, REF 989803168891) can be used to
facilitate insertion.
3Insertthesensingtipofthesensorintothepatientatan
appropriatedepth.
WARNING
Never insert the sensor beyond the patient segment of
the sensor. Insertion beyond the patient segment can
lead to difficulties removing the jacket from the
patient.
4Ifdesired,changetheunitofmeasure(Celsiusisthedefault
setting);seeTEMPMenu,onpage11‐10,fordetails.
5Performthemonitoringprocedure,allowingatleast2minutesfor
themeasurementtostabilize;seeTEMPVSBox,onpage11‐8,for
details.
6 Aftertheprocedure,removethesensor
fromthepatient.
WARNING
Ensure that the entire jacket is removed from the
patient when withdrawing the sensor. Failure to do
so can potentially lead to jacket material being left
inside the patient.
7 Immediatelycleananddisinfectthesensor(seePost‐Measurement
Processingonpage11‐7).
