Custom scores and messages serve as guides to your facility's protocols; do not subsitute custom scores for patient physiological alarms. Appropriate alarms settings must be set and maintained to ensure patient safety.
Page 123 Directions for use Patient monitoring 117 Monitors configured with EarlySense cannot be configured with Masimo Note rainbow Acoustic Respiration (RRa) or Oridion Microstream capnography. Note Patient movement monitoring is not available for neonatal/infant patients. The EarlySense system has not been studied on any specific patient group, Note nor has it been studied as a tool to diagnose any specific disease of medical condition.

Page 159 Carefully place the probe in the axilla, avoiding contact with other objects or material. WARNING Patient injury risk. Always take a temperature measurement with a Welch Allyn single-use probe cover securely attached. Failure to use a probe cover can cause patient discomfort from a heated probe, patient cross-contamination, and inaccurate temperature readings.
Page 160 ® 154 Patient monitoring Welch Allyn Connex Devices CAUTION Inaccurate measurement risk. Patient activities such as strenuous exercise, ingesting hot or cold liquids, eating, chewing gum or mints, brushing teeth, or smoking may affect oral temperature measurements for up to 20 minutes.
Page 161 Directions for use Patient monitoring 155 Take a temperature in the Predictive mode WARNING Inaccurate measurement risk. To ensure optimal accuracy, always confirm that the correct mode and site are selected. WARNING Patient injury risk. Prior to taking a temperature, instruct the patient not to bite down on the probe as patient injury and damage to the probe may result.
Page 162 ® 156 Patient monitoring Welch Allyn Connex Devices 5. The monitor sounds a tone when the final temperature is reached (in approximately 6 to 15 seconds). The temperature frame continues to display the temperature even after the probe is returned to the probe well.
Page 163 Directions for use Patient monitoring 157 WARNING Patient injury risk. Do not exceed the recommended temperature measurement durations in Direct mode. Continuous measurement durations of 3 minutes at the oral and rectal sites and 5 minutes at the axillary site are recommended for accurate measurement. Do not continuously measure beyond 10 minutes in any mode.
Page 164 ® 158 Patient monitoring Welch Allyn Connex Devices Take a temperature at the rectal site WARNING Patient injury risk. When taking rectal temperatures, insert the probe tip only 5/8 inch (approximately 1.5 cm) inside the rectum of adults and only 3/8 inch (approximately 1 cm) inside the rectum of children to avoid the risk of bowel perforation.
Page 165 Do not autoclave the thermometer and probe covers. Ensure that probe covers are disposed of according to facility requirements or local regulations. CAUTION The thermometer has no user-serviceable parts. If service is required, call your nearest Welch Allyn Customer Service or Technical Support facility.
