9.3.5 Temperature Measurement in MONITOR Mode
Temperature measurement can be taken in MONITOR mode. The monitor automatically
enters the MONITOR mode in the following two cases:
Accurate temperature is not reached in the PREDICT mode.
Neither measurement is taken nor the probe is replaced in the probe sheath in 60s after
the probe is withdrawn from the sheath.
In MONITOR mode, temperature reading remains on the display as long as the probe is
kept at the measurement position and the patient’s temperature is within the measuring
range. Final temperature value is reached in 3 to 5 minutes, however, the monitor does not
beep in this mode.
To measure temperature in the Monitor mode,
1. Make sure that the probe is connected to the probe connector and the indication lamp
beside the temperature unit lights to indicate that TEMP module properly operates.
2. Set TEMP TYPE to MONITOR and select appropriate TEMP POSITION.
3. Unplug the probe from the probe sheath and insert it into a cover in the probe cover
box. Press the probe handle down firmly until the cover engages with the probe.
4. Apply the probe to the measuring site and take measurement according to the
instructions as described in the PREDICT mode.
5. Remain the probe in place for 3 to 5 minutes till accurate measurement is reached.
6. Remove the probe when accurate temperature reading is obtained. Press firmly the
ejection button on the top of the probe to eject the probe cover. Return the probe into
the sheath.
9.4 Decontamination of the SmarTemp™
™ ™
™ TEMP Probe
Use LpH SE Germicidal detergent to decontaminate a probe that has come in contact with a
biological material. Apply a small amount of detergent to a disposable wipe (paper based)
and wipe down the outside of the probe. Discard the wipe appropriately. After waiting 10
minutes, use a clean dry wipe to dry the probe.
WARNING
Perform the decontamination or cleaning process with the unit powered down
and power cord removed.
