Ready
The ready screen displays the serial number of the SpotOn sensor and indicates the SpotOn sensor cable and sensor are properly attached to the SpotOn control unit. The SpotOn sensor is now ready to be attached to the patient.
Equilibration
A flashing yellow temperature display indicates the sensor has been connected to the patient and to the control unit and is in the process of equilibration.
The graph below the temperature output indicates the progress of equilibration. This process will take approximately three minutes.
If you see a temperature in the upper left hand corner of the screen, that is the last recorded temperature that has been captured by the sensor on the patient’s head. The sensor captures and records a temperature every five minutes.
After the equilibration is complete, the patient’s body temperature is displayed on the SpotOn control unit in bold white numbers and can be automatically transmitted to the patient monitor via the monitor cable.
Running
The running screen displays the deep tissue temperature of the patient in white. The trend graph at the bottom of the screen displays the last two hours of the patient’s temperature in five minute increments. The bars on the graph will begin filling from the right with the 36°C always visible. The blue bars indicate that the temperature dropped below 36°C (white indicates the temperature is above 36°C).
Control unit error
The SpotOn control unit error screen displays when there is a system error. Discontinue use of unit. Contact a biomedical technician.
Sensor error
The sensor error screen displays when there is a temperature sensor or cable error. See “Section 4: Troubleshooting” on page 15 for details.
