ODY TEMPERATURE
Overview
The monitor measures core and body surface temperature by means of a temperature
probe connected to the MultiMed, NeoMed, Hemo2, or Hemo4 pod (the HemoMed
pod does not measure body temperature). Blood temperature is also measured if a
hemodynamic pod is used to acquire cardiac output data (see page 15-4 for more
information).
The NeoMed, Hemo2, Hemo4 pods and the MPod – Quad Hemo are each equipped
with two temperature probe connectors. The MultiMed pod has one temperature probe
connector; however, a Y-cable allows it to also monitor two temperature signals.
To measure body or blood temperature, connect the monitor to the appropriate device
as shown below.
NOTE: The temperature feature and temperature probes should be calibrated at least
every two years by qualified personnel to obtain accuracy of ± 0.1 ºC.
