Figure 11: Loading the Probe Cover
When dashes “– – –“ appear in the TEMP display window the temperature sensor is
ready to take a measurement. To take a normal predictive temperature, simply place
the probe as high as possible in the axilla. Do not allow the probe tip to come into
contact with the patient until it is deliberately placed in the measurement site.
4) Be sure that the probe tip is completely surrounded by axillary tissue. Clothing or any
other material touching the probe tip may cause inaccurate readings.
5) Place the arm close to the patient’s side. Hold the arm in this position without
movement of the arm or probe during the measurement cycle.
6) During the predictive temperature measurement cycle, “walking” segments will
appear in the TEMP display window, indicating that a predictive measurement is in
process.
7) When the final temperature has been reached, the temperature value will be
displayed in TEMP display window and an audible tone will be generated. The time
of the measurement and the measured temperature will be stored in the monitor’s
history memory.
NOTE:
To change the Temperature scale, refer to Page 101, SELECTING THE TEMPERATURE
SCALE.
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.
