BeneVision N Series Patient Monitor Operator’s Manual 15 - 1
15 Monitoring Temperature (Temp)
15.1 Temperature Introduction
You can continuously monitor the patient’s skin temperature and core temperature by the MPM module and the
Temp modules. Thermally sensitive resistors (thermistors) are used. They are based on the principle that
electrical resistance of the thermistor changes as temperature changes. Thermistors measure the resistance
change and use it to calculate the temperature.
You can connect an MPM module and up to three Temp modules. So you can simultaneously monitor up to
eight temperature sites and calculate the difference between two measured sites.
You can also connect the Covidien Genius
TM
2 tethered tympanic thermometer. The Genius
TM
2 thermometer is
an ear canal thermometer with measurement site equivalence modes including oral, core, and rectal equivalent
temperatures.
Temperature monitoring is intended for adult, pediatric and neonatal patients.
