determination. If this occurs, allow 5 seconds for the
probe tip to cool before proceeding.
Procedures
1. Connect the temperature probe cable to the
temperature probe connector (22).
2. Place a protective temperature probe cover on the
probe and insert the probe appropriately.
3. While observing the LCD (10), turn the SelectKnob (9) to
highlight the Temp option and then click the SelectKnob.
Any previous temperature display will be blanked.
4. Hold the temperature probe steady until the
determination is complete. This will take about 20
seconds, during which time a pattern of lines on the
temperature display (20) will blink to indicate progress.
When the determination is complete, the temperature
will appear on the display.
5. Record the temperature, remove the probe, discard the
disposable cover by pressing the button on the probe
handle, and place the probe in the probe holder.
Note: Wait at least 5 seconds before making another
temperature determination.
SpO
2
Description
The SpO
2
parameter is included in Models S and TS. To
begin SpO
2
monitoring, simply place the SpO
2
sensor on
the patient’s finger; monitoring begins automatically.
Functional oxygen saturation (SpO
2
) of arterial blood is
noninvasively and continuously monitored in the
DINAMAP Compact Monitor using pulse oximetry
technology from NELLCOR. Functional SpO
2
is the ratio of
oxygenated hemoglobin to hemoglobin that is capable of
transporting oxygen. This ratio, expressed as a percentage,
is shown on the SpO
2
display (17). The percentage is
updated with each heart beat.
Heart rate derived from SpO
2
appears in the Pulse BPM
display (18), and the SpO
2
pulse indicator (19) flashes
synchronization with the real-time pulse rate measurements
