Overview
The monitor supports the use of temperature probes for oral, rec-
tal and axillary applications. The monitor accepts one probe at a
time and displays absolute temperature values in degrees Celsius
(
o
C) or in degrees Fahrenheit (
o
F).
NOTES:
! Selecting the unit of measure is a password-protected function.
See your Biomed for details.
! When the monitor uses the export protocol to communicate
with an external device, the temperature values in degrees Cel-
sius (
o
C) are transmitted as whole numbers without a decimal
point on the external device. For example, a temperature value
of 37.6 degrees is transmitted as 376.
To calculate a temperature value, the monitor averages the tem-
perature signal over several seconds. The temperature label and
measurement value appear above the first waveform channel.
There is no waveform display for temperature.
Set T alarms on the Alarm Limits table (see the chapter Alarms
and Messages). If you turn T alarms off, a crossed bell symbol
appears next to the temperature value above the first waveform
channel.
