Modes of Operation / Monitor Mode

7.3 Monitor Mode

(Patient Temperature Monitoring,
No Therapy)
Press MONITOR mode when no patient temperature
therapy is required, but monitoring of patient
temperature is desired.
To operate in MONITOR mode:

Perform steps 5.4 and 5.5, of the Start-up
Procedure (pp. 6-7).

Insert sensing end of patient probe into
patient and tape securely to prevent accidental
dislodgment.

Insert plug end of patient probe into the
PATIENT PROBE jack.
Make sure probe plug is fully seated.
Use only GAYMAR probes or equivalent YSI
400 series probes approved for use with
medical devices.
If in doubt that the correct probe is being used
and is operating properly, perform a PROBE
CHECK test (p. 17, 10.1.2, item 4).

Press the MONITOR mode button. The window
on the top of the MONITOR button will light. The
patient's temperature will be displayed.
If desired, change the temperature scale by
pressing the °C/°F button.
NOTE: If the patient probe senses an abnormal
patient temperature (below 29°C
[84.2°F] or above 45°C [113°F]), the
CHECK PATIENT PROBE alert will light
and sound an audible alarm.
This condition may indicate the
patient probe has become dislodged, an
incorrect probe is being used, or a
probe has become defective (see Alerts,
pp. 17-18).
REMEMBER . . . in MONITOR mode, no
therapy is provided.
