Monitor Mode
Monitor Mode continuously displays the temperature of the probe for as long as the probe
remains in place at the measurement site and remains within the operating patient temperature
range. The patient’s oral and rectal temperature reaches final equilibrium in approximately three
minutes in the Monitor Mode. Axillary temperature reaches equilibrium in approximately five
minutes in the Monitor Mode. Oral/Axillary and Rectal measurement modes time out after10
minutes of Monitor mode.
The device enters Monitor Mode for several reasons:
• If the probe is withdrawn from the probe well and is not replaced within 60 seconds of
inactivity.
• When a patient’s temperature in Normal Mode cannot correctly be measured.
• Directly from a host command (for the purpose of testing, etc).
