CASMED 740 Vital Signs Monitor - Implox

CASMED 740 Monitors
NOTE:
If the probe tip did not maintain tissue contact during the entire predictive measurement, the final
temperature displayed in the TEMP display window will flash. If this occurs it is recommended
that a new temperature be taken. Press the SILENCE/RESET pushbutton or after waiting for
two (2) minutes the monitor will automatically blank the display.
8) After the temperature measurement is complete, remove the probe from the patient’s
rectum and eject the probe cover by firmly pressing the ejection button on the probe.
Properly dispose of the used probe cover per protocol.
9) Insert the probe into the probe holder before attempting to take another temperature
measurement. An audible “click” should be heard when the SureTemp® probe is
completely placed into its holder. The SureTemp Plus® probes will slide in and out of
the Probe Well without any restrictions.
10) Wash your hands.
NOTE:
Failure to correctly place the probe back into its holder may result in failure of the next predictive
temperature measurement.
11) Following a completed temperature measurement, the current temperature measurement
is displayed for five (5) minutes after which time the TEMP display will go blank.
TAKING AN AXILLARY TEMPERATURE
CAUTION:
Never use the Temperature Probe without a probe cover. Accurate axillary temperatures can
only be obtained by using the blue temperature probe. The use of the wrong probe will produce
temperature errors.
To take an axillary temperature in Normal (Predictive) mode follow this procedure:
1) Insure that the oral probe is connected to the monitor, secured into its holder and that the
monitor is in NEO mode (Axillary temperatures can only be taken in NEO mode). An
audible “click” should be heard when the SureTemp® probe is completely placed into its
holder. The SureTemp Plus® probes will slide in and out of the Probe Well without any
restrictions. The oral probe has a blue probe cover ejection button.
2) Remove the probe from the probe holder. A short self-test mode will be initiated where
every LED segment in the TEMP display window are illuminated briefly. Following this
self-test the display will show “ALy”. The “ALy” in the TEMP display window indicates
that the axillary algorithm will be used to take a predictive temperature measurement.
3) Load a probe cover onto the probe by holding the probe collar with the thumb and
forefinger, being careful not to hold or press the ejection button. Refer to Figure 11.
