Operation
Using skin temperature control
Connecting the skin temperature sensor
If using the disc-shaped skin temperature sensor:
Fit the double-sided adhesive ring to the temperature
sensor:
Detach the adhesive ring from its backing and stick it
concentrically to the annular surface of the sensor.
Detach the protective foil from the adhesive ring and
stick the sensor to the appropriate part of the skin with
the adhesive ring.
If using the rod-shaped skin temperature sensor:
Attach the tip of the sensor to the appropriate part of
the skin with adhesive tape, e.g. 3M Microfoam
25 mm/1528-1.
If the infant is in the dorsal position:
Attach the sensor to the abdomen in the region of the
liver.
If the infant is in the prone position:
Attach the sensor to the back, preferably in the region
of the kidneys.
Never place the sensor under the baby: otherwise,
the core temperature rather than skin temperature
would be measured and adjusted.
Secure the sensor cable with adhesive tape.
Regularly check that the skin temperature sensor
is in the correct position.
If the skin temperature has fallen from the infant,
it will measure air temperature, leading to a risk of
excessively warming the infant.
Never use the skin temperature sensor to measure
rectal temperature.
During skin temperature control, the sensor must
never be used rectally, since otherwise it would be
measuring core temperature instead of skin
temperature as feedback control parameter.
