Monitoring Temperature

The X Series Temperature inputs are Type CF defibrillator proof.

This chapter describes how to use the X Series unit to monitor temperature.

The X Series unit provides two temperature channels. When both channels are in use, the unit
displays each channel’s temperature successively, followed by the difference between the

temperatures (labeled

T

).

Temperature Monitoring Setup

To monitor temperature using the X Series unit, perform the following steps:

1. Select the temperature probe and apply it to the patient.

2.

Connect the temperature probe to the X Series unit.

3.

Configure Temperature alarms and settings (if the current Temperature alarms and settings
are not appropriate).

Selecting and Applying Temperature Probes

You should use only temperature probes that are approved for use with the X Series unit. See
Appendix B, Accessories for a list of ZOLL-approved temperature probes. The use of other
probes that do not match the performance specifications of the ZOLL-approved probes may
produce incorrect temperature readings.

To apply the temperature probe to the patient, follow your organization’s standard procedures.
Always refer to probe manufacturer’s Directions for Use before using the probe.
