Warning Alaris
Do not use the thermometer if you see any signs of damage to the probe.
When performing defib, sync or electrosurgery, there is a potential for signal corruption.
If a temperature reading is unusually high or low, confirm the reading using another temperature
measuring device before beginning any treatment.
Note— For oral temperature measurements, use the blue probe; for rectal measurements, use the red probe.

Setting the Measurement Mode

The VS1 monitor provides two temperature measurement modes:
• Predictive mode. In Predictive mode, the monitor measures the patient's temperature for
approximately 7 seconds, and then displays the final measurement and sounds a tone signifying
completion.
• Monitoring mode. In Monitoring mode, the monitor measures the patient's temperature
continuously and displays the temperature constantly in large, green numbers (as long as the probe is
in contact with the patient).
You can change the mode in the Measurement Mode screen.
MEASUREMENT MODE: PREDICTIVE

1 From the Line List display, press the System soft key. The System Settings screen appears.
2 In the System Settings screen, press the Temp Option soft key. The Measurement Mode screen appears.
