Temperature
Overview
Either one or two temperature inputs can be monitored. Whenever two
temperatures from the same module are monitored, a delta value (temperature
difference between the two readings) is calculated.
Temperatures are displayed in degrees centigrade only. You can set independent
high and low alarm limits for each temperature, and the delta temperature.
Setting Up Temperature Monitoring
Attach the temperature probe(s) to the patient and then to the module. The TEMP
key and temperature values now appear on the monitor screen. Touch TEMP to
display the Temperature menu.
!
• You can define your own default settings for alarm limits. Refer
to Setting User-Defined Default Values on page 7-7 for further
details.
To set up temperature
monitoring:
1 Attach the temperature probe(s)
to the patient.
2 Plug the temperature probe(s)
into the module.
3 Touch TEMP.
