Monitoring Temperature

You can measure temperature using the Multi-Measurement Server (MMS), one of the measurement server extensions, or the temperature plug-in module. Temp measurement automatically switches on when you connect a probe. You can switch the measurement off manually.

Making a Temp Measurement

1Select the correct type and size of probe for your patient.

2If you are using a disposable probe, connect the probe to the temperature cable.

3Plug the probe or temperature cable into the temperature connector socket.

4Apply the probe to the patient. You are advised to use a protective rubber cover on rectal probes.

5Select an appropriate temperature label.

6Check that the alarm settings (on or off, high and low limits) are appropriate for this patient and this type of temperature measurement.

WARNING Make sure you set alarm limits for the correct label. The alarm limits you set are stored for that particular label only. Changing the label may change the alarm limits.

Selecting a Temperature for Monitoring

Tell the monitor which temperature you want to monitor by selecting its temperature label. The label is a unique identifier for each type of temperature. When you choose a label, the monitor uses that label’s stored color and alarm settings.

1In the Setup <Temp> menu, select Label.

2Select the appropriate label from the list.
