Probe Check Well - Gaymar Medi-Therm III Mode D'emploi

Medi-Therm III
®
9.1 Probe Check
When performing the PROBE CHECK, use a
protective sheath on the probe.
(Becton-Dickinson catalog 3700 oral sheath
or equivalent.)
Failure to use a sheath could result in
cross-contamination.
1. Insert probe into protective sheath and
then into PROBE CHECK WELL on front of
machine base (fig. 7).
2. Operate machine in BLANKET CONTROL mode
with a blanket/body wrap connected. Adjust SET
POINT temperature to between 33°C and 37°C.
Wait until machine temperature stabilizes (both
the WARMING and COOLING lights are off and
patient temperature display stabilizes). Water and
patient temperature displays should read within
2°C of each other. If not, patient probe may be
defective or incorrect probe is being used.
Use only Gaymar probes or equivalent YSI
400 series probes approved for use with
medical devices.
3. If probe appears defective, try another probe and
repeat PROBE CHECK. If a new, correct probe
does not meet this test, remove machine from
use and request service.
