Measurement
Note: This feature is optional on Root.
For temperature measurements obtained with the TIR-1 bluetooth
thermometer, refer to the TIR-1 manual. Root offers an optional integrated
temperature module and takes a temperature measurement through the
use of a temperature probe. The temperature probe is designed for use on
adult and pediatric patients. Patient temperature can be measured via an
oral/axillary or rectal probe.
Operation - Temperature
Spot Check Mode
Spot Check mode provides a one-time predictive measurement that takes a
temperature in approximately 6 to 15 seconds, before a steady state
temperature is achieved. Predictive measurements reduce the time required
for measurement by using algorithms to predict what the temperature
would be if the probe were left in place until steady state is achieved.
Continuous Mode
Continuous mode provides continuous temperature readings for up to 10
minutes through a direct measurement. Direct measurement is used to
continuously read temperatures until it reaches the thermal steady state
(unchanging). The thermal steady state is achieved through an oral or rectal
measurement in approximately 3 minutes and through an axillary
measurement in approximately 5 minutes.
