ORAL TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT

Using Probe with Blue Ejection Button and Blue Probe Well

When used correctly, the SureTemp Plus thermometer accurately measures an oral

temperature in approximately 4–6 seconds. The ability of the SureTemp Plus

thermometer to take an accurate oral temperature requires correct user technique.

TAKING AN ORAL TEMPERATURE

1. Ensure that the oral probe (blue ejection button) and the blue 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.

3. Verify that the oral model icon is selected by observing the flashing head icon on

the instrument’s display. If this icon is not flashing, press the Mode Selection

button until the head icon appears.

4. Load a probe cover by inserting the probe into a probe cover and pressing the

probe handle down firmly. The probe handle will move slightly to engage the probe

cover.

5. With the Oral Mode indicator flashing, quickly place the

probe tip under the patient’s tongue on either side of the

mouth to reach the rear sublingual pocket. Have the

patient close his/her lips around the probe.

6. Hold the probe in place, keeping the tip of the probe in

contact with the oral tissue throughout the measurement

process. Rotating “walking” segments appear on the

display, indicating that measurement is in progress.

7. 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.

8. 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 sublingual pocket or

keep the probe in place for three 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.

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.

Use only Welch Allyn probe covers. The use of other manufacturer’s probe

covers or no probe cover may produce temperature measurement errors and/

or inaccuracy.

WARNING Long-term continuous monitoring beyond three minutes is not

recommended in the Oral Mode.
