You can measure temperature using the Multi-Measurement Server (MMS), one of the measurement 
server extensions, or the temperature plug-in module. Temp measurement automatically switches on 
when you connect a probe. You can switch the measurement off manually. 

Select the correct type and size of probe for your patient.

If you are using a disposable probe, connect the probe to the temperature cable.

Plug the probe or temperature cable into the temperature connector socket.

Apply the probe to the patient. You are advised to use a protective rubber cover on rectal probes.

Select an appropriate temperature label.

Check that the alarm settings (on or off, high and low limits) are appropriate for this patient and 
this type of temperature measurement.

Make sure you set alarm limits for the correct label. The alarm limits you set are stored for that 
particular label only. Changing the label may change the alarm limits.

Tell the monitor which temperature you want to monitor by selecting its temperature label. The label 
is a unique identifier for each type of temperature. When you choose a label, the monitor uses that 
label’s stored color and alarm settings.

In the 

menu, select 

Select the appropriate label from the list.
