Using Skin Temperature Control - Dräger RH 600 Gebrauchsanweisung

Using skin temperature control

In this operating mode, the skin temperature of the infant
is constantly adjusted towards a selected temperature
setting. The sensor attached to the skin measures the
skin temperature. If the measured skin temperature is
lower than the set value, the radiant heater level is
increased. If the skin temperature is higher than the set
value, the radiant heater level is reduced.
Therefore:
Do not use for infants in a state of shock. Their
[
skin temperature will be much lower than normal.
If automatic skin temperature control is used, it
would cause overheating of the body
(hyperthermia).
Set the heater level manually, see page 38.
Do not use for infants with a high temperature
[
(fever). Their skin temperature will be much
higher than normal. If automatic skin temperature
control is used, it could induce hypothermia.
Check the set value or set the heater level manually,
see page 38.
When using the disc-shaped skin temperature sensor:
1 Plug the sensor connector into the socket.
When using the rod-shaped skin temperature sensor:
2 Connect the adapter cable to the sensor cable and
3 Plug the adapter connector into the socket.
