Infant warming system and method

A method of operating an infant warming system having a first input jack and a second input jack, wherein each of the first input jack or the second input jack is configured to alternatively receive a connector of a peripheral temperature probe and a connector of a body temperature probe, the method comprising:

• receiving a connector of a first temperature probe in the first input jack;
• determining a first resistance and a second resistance for the first temperature probe;
• distinguishing whether the first temperature probe is the peripheral temperature probe or the body temperature probe based on the first resistance and the second resistance, including comparing at least one of the first resistance and the second resistance to a predetermined range of a fixed resistance value, determining that the first temperature probe is the peripheral temperature probe if one of the first resistance or the second resistance is within the predetermined range, and determining that the first temperature probe is a body temperature probe if the first resistance is not within the predetermined range;
• and
• determining a temperature for an infant based on temperature measurements from the first temperature probe and based on whether the first temperature probe is the peripheral temperature probe or the body temperature probe.
