6.5. Temperature Monitoring
6.5.1. Temperature Overview
The 3880 system features a unique and innovative temperature measurement system
supporting surface temperature readings.
6.5.1.1. Temperature Sensor
The fiber-optic temperature sensor is used for the measurement of patient body temperature
using axillary sensing tip placement.
! WARNING
• Frequent medical attention to the sensor axilla site for possible pressure tissue necrosis
should be given during longer term monitoring sessions (4 hours or more), especially on
tender skin of neonatal patients.
! CAUTION
• The fiber-optic temperature sensors are constructed of fiber-optic glass and must
always be handled with care to prevent damage. Improper handling can result in
inaccurate readings.
6.5.1.2. Limitations
The following factors may influence the accuracy of measurement:
• Sensors access to ambient temperature or drafts
• Do not bend the fiber optic sensor in a radius of less than 15 mm
• Do not expose to temperature above 50
○
C
• Do not pull or apply tension to the fiber-optic cable
• Do not alter or modify the accessories
