3.1 Overview of the Tempus Pro
The Tempus Pro consists of a PC-ABS plastic enclosure which is over-moulded with TPU material to make it
resistant to shock. The enclosure also includes the RapidPak
TM
clip which provides storage for the SpO
2
sensor, the adult NIBP cuff and hose and the ECG cable.
The unit has a clear window on the top which contains the alarm bar. This lights yellow or red for clinical
alarms. The alarm bar can be configured by the user to light green in all non-alarm conditions. The alarm
bar has a small aperture at the rear of the case which allows the alarm status to be seen from the rear. In
addition, light from the alarm bar is distributed by the translucent handle which sits across the top of the
device.
3.2 Key features of the unit
3.2.1 Tempus Pro front
On the front of the unit is a large, colour display which is fitted with a touchscreen. The touchscreen may be
used with a gloved hand or plastic stylus. Around the touchscreen are two panels of membrane buttons
(left/below and right).
Also on the front are grilles covering the alarm speaker. Care should be taken not to probe through the
grilles with any sharp or pointed object.
3.2.2 Tempus Pro base
The base of the Tempus Pro houses the battery. The battery can be removed by pushing the latches at
each end of the battery together. This will release the battery allowing it to be pulled out.
The battery includes a charge level button and four indicator lights.
