Note
Temperature mode selection
The monitor with the temperature module takes a patient temperature in either
Predictive (Normal) or Direct mode. The default setting is the Predictive mode.
Predictive mode
Is a one-time measurement that takes a temperature in approximately 6 to 15 seconds.
Removing the probe from the probe well, loading a probe cover, and holding the probe
tip in place at the measurement site initiates a Predictive mode measurement. The
monitor sounds a tone to indicate the end of a predictive measurement.
Direct mode
Provides continual temperature measurements. For oral and rectal measurements, it is
recommended to measure temperature until the temperature stabilizes or for 3 minutes.
For axillary measurements, it is recommended to measure temperature until the
temperature stabilizes or for 5 minutes. The monitor changes to Direct mode
approximately 60 seconds after the probe is removed from the probe well.
Note
After 10 minutes of using the Direct mode, the monitor generates a technical alarm
condition and clears the measurement.
The battery pack continues to charge while the monitor is in Display power
saving mode.
It is strongly recommended that you use only the Welch Allyn rechargeable
battery pack in the thermometer because the dock cannot charge other
batteries.
WARNING Inaccurate measurement risk. To ensure optimal accuracy,
always confirm that the correct mode and site are selected.
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.
The monitor does not retain Direct mode temperatures in
memory.Therefore, it is important to note the temperature before removing
the probe from the measurement site and then manually record it in the
patient record.
