Display screens
Start-up
The start-up screen displays for approximately five seconds when the control
unit is initially powered ON. The revision number of the control unit software is
also displayed.
Standby
The system graphic is displayed when the unit is not in use.
Ready
The ready screen displays the serial number of the sensor and indicates the sensor
cable and sensor are properly attached to the control unit. The sensor is now ready
to be attached to the patient.
Equilibration
A flashing yellow temperature display indicates the sensor has been connected to
the patient and to the control unit and is in the process of equilibration. The graph
below the temperature output indicates the progress of equilibration. This process
will complete in approximately five minutes.
If you see a temperature in the upper left hand corner of the screen that is the last
recorded temperature that has been captured by the sensor on the patient's head.
The sensor captures and records a temperature every five minutes.
After the equilibration is complete, the patient's body temperature is displayed on
the control unit in bold white numbers and can be automatically transmitted to the
patient monitor via the monitor cable.
Running
The running screen displays the deep tissue temperature of the patient in white. The
trend graph at the bottom of the screen displays the last two hours of the patient's
temperature in five minute increments. The bars on the graph will begin filling from
the right with the 36°C always visible. The blue bars indicate that the temperature
dropped below 36°C (white indicates the temperature is above 36°C).
Control unit error
The control unit error screen displays when there is a system error. Discontinue use
of unit. Contact a biomedical technician.
Sensor error
The sensor error screen displays when there is a temperature sensor or cable error.
