Temperature Monitoring

General

This section applies if the monitor is configured with the temperature option.
Measurement of patient temperature is accomplished by processing the signal from a probe
containing a resistance element whose impedance is temperature dependent. These devices
are called thermistors. The signal from the probe is conditioned by the monitor input
circuitry, processed, and the measured values are shown in the numeric frame.

Setup Connections

WARNING: To limit patient cross-contamination, use only manufacturer's
recommended single-use disposable probe covers. The use of any other probe cover, or
the failure to use a probe cover, can endanger patients in the electrical risk point of
view and produce inaccurate temperature measurements.
Follow the directions for use accompanying the temperature probe.
Note: Use only provided temperature probes which have passed the recommended
biocompatibility testing in compliance with ISO10993-1.
Note: If temperature probes are not readily available, contact Schiller sales department. To
avoid nuisance limit alarms, the probe should be affixed to the patient before
connecting to
