6.5.3. Temperature Patient Application
6.5.3.1. Surface Temperature Application
Perform the following procedure to apply the fiber-optic temperature sensor to a patient:
1. Carefully uncoil the sensor, avoid knotting or kinking the fiber optic cable
2. Inspect sensor for damage, including tears or deformations
3. Thoroughly clean and dry the axilla or groin application site
4. Position the sensor tip at the application site
5. Secure sensor with some medical tape
6. Cover application site to block air drafts
! WARNING
• Avoid the use of any metalized foil temperature probe covers, or hydrogel backed probe
covers, as excessive RF heating could occur resulting in inaccurate temperature
measurements and/or burns.
NOTE
• There is a temperature difference between surface temperature and patient body (core)
temperature.
• When monitoring temperature during MRI procedures, the radio frequency (RF) energy
may normally increase the patient’s body temperature.
6.5.3.2. Setup Checklist
• Temperature cable is properly inserted into the 3880 system
• Temperature sensor is applied and positioned correctly
• Temperature sensor is not damaged in any way
