Chapter 11: Temperature
11.1 Temperature Measurement Capability
Two independent channels of temperature (T1 and T2) monitoring are
available. Each channel is compatible with Smiths Medical PM, Inc. YSI
400-series disposable temperature sensors, or equivalent. The measured
value for each temperature channel (T1 and T2) is displayed in the TEMP
parameter box. If the temperature channel is turned on and no measured
value is available, dashes (- - -.-) will be displayed in the parameter box.
11.2 Temperature Warnings, Cautions, and Notes
WARNING! Before monitoring starts, check if the sensor cable is properly
connected. Pull the temperature sensor cable from the channel
1 jack, an error message “T1 sensor is off” is displayed on the
screen and the alarm sound can be heard. The same happens
with the other channel.
WARNING! Be cautious when handling temperature sensors and cables.
When it is not in use, the sensor and cable ought to be in a
loose loop. Tightly folded cable can cause mechanical damage.
WARNING! Temperature calibration should be done once a year (or
according to the schedule specified in the hospital procedure).
If calibration is needed, contact the manufacturer.
WARNING! Disposable temperature sensors should only be used once.
WARNING! During monitoring process, the temperature measurement
instrument will conduct a self-check every hour lasting for two
seconds. This will not affect normal operation of the monitor.
NOTE! Use only temperature sensors and interface cables specifically
intended for use with this device.
11.3 Attaching the Patient
