14.1 teMP Monitoring
Two TEMP probes can be used together to obtain 2 temperature data and compare them to work out the
temperature difference.
TEMP monitoring setup
• If you are using disposable TEMP probes you need to plug the TEMP cable into the monitor and then
connect the probe to the cable. With a reusable TEMP probe you can plug the probe directly into the
monitor.
• Apply the TEMP probe(s) securely to the patient.
• Switch on the system.
Warning
• Verify probe cables fault detection before beginning of monitoring phase. Unplug the temperature probe
cable of the channel 1 from the socket, the screen will display the error message "TEMP SENSOR1 OFF"
and the audible alarm is activated. The other channel is the same.
The calibration of the temperature measurement is necessary for every two years (or as frequently as
dictated by your Hospital Procedures Policy). When you need calibrate the temperature measurement,
contact the manufacture please.
Note
• Disposable TEMP probe can only be used once for one patient.
• The self-test of the temperature measurement is performed automatically once per hour during the
monitoring. The test procedure lasts about 2 seconds and does not affect the normal measurement of the
temperature monitoring.

• Alarm for T1, T2 and TD occurs when the measured temperature exceeds set alarm high limit or falls below
alarm low limit.
T1 is Channel-1 temperature, T2 is Channel-2 temperature, TD is the temperature difference between the
above two.
