A medical device for capturing one or more physiological variables of a patient is described. The medical device includes a housing, a display device mounted on the housing, and ports on the housing for connecting one or more peripheral sensors. The medical device receives data from the peripheral sensors, processes the data to calculate at least one physiological variable, and displays the at least one physiological variable on the display device. The medical device monitors an internal temperature inside the housing, determines whether the internal temperature exceeds a predefined threshold, and when the internal temperature exceeds the predefined threshold, perform one or more actions to lower the internal temperature.
