2. With the correct axillary mode indicator flashing, lift the patient’s arm so that the

entire axilla is easily seen. Place the probe as high as possible in the axilla. Do not

allow the probe tip to come into contact with the patient until the probe is placed in

the measurement site. Before this, any contact between the probe tip and the tissue

or other material may cause inaccurate readings.

3. Verify that the probe tip is completely surrounded by axillary tissue and place the arm

snugly at the patient’s side. Hold the patient’s arm in this position and do not allow

movement of the arm or probe during the measurement cycle. Rotating “walking”

segments appear on the display, indicating that measurement is in progress.

4. The unit will beep three times when the final temperature is reached. The

measurement site, temperature scale, and patient temperature will display on the

LCD. The final temperature will remain on the display for 30 seconds.

5. If you cannot correctly measure the patient’s temperature in Normal

Mode, the unit will automatically enter Monitor Mode. In this mode,

measurement time is extended. Either repeat the temperature

measurement in Normal Mode in the opposite axilla or keep the probe

in place for five minutes in Monitor Mode. The thermometer will not beep to indicate

a final temperature. Record the temperature before removing the probe from the site,

as the temperature reading is not maintained in memory.

6. After the temperature measurement is complete, remove the probe from the

patient’s axilla. Eject the probe cover by firmly pressing the ejection button on the top

of the probe.

7. Return the probe to the probe well. The LCD display will go blank.

RECTAL TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT

Using Probe with Red Ejection Button and Red Probe Well

When used correctly, the SureTemp Plus thermometer accurately measures rectal

temperature in approximately 10–13 seconds.

TAKING A RECTAL TEMPERATURE

1. Ensure that the rectal probe (red ejection button) and the red probe well are

installed. The instrument will only operate in Rectal Mode when the red rectal probe

and probe well are installed.

2. Holding the probe handle with your thumb and two fingers on the indentations of the

probe handle, withdraw the probe from the probe well.

WARNING Long-term continuous monitoring beyond five minutes is not

recommended in the Axillary Mode.

Probe contact with electrodes, bandages, etc., poor tissue contact, taking a

temperature over clothing, or prolonged exposure of axilla to ambient air

can cause inaccurate temperature readings.

WARNING Do not take a patient’s temperature without using a Welch Allyn

disposable probe cover. Doing so can cause patient discomfort, patient cross

contamination, and erroneous temperature readings.
