Axillary Temperature Taking

With the patient's arm uplifted, place the probe tip into the patient's armpit, directly on the skin. Ask the patient to
lower his arm and hold still. Hold the probe perpendicular to the arm until there is a long beep and the temperature
reading displays.

Rectal Temperature Taking

Apply lubricant to the probe cover and insert it gently into the patient's rectum only one-half inch to three-fourth inch
(12 mm to 19 mm) for adults or one-fourth to one-half inch (6 mm to 13 mm) for children. Hold the probe still until
there is a long beep and the temperature reading displays.
NOTE: If the temp probe is returned to the probe well before the "long beep" is heard, no temperature measurement
will be displayed.
NOTE: Be sure to eject the used probe cover into an approved bio-hazard container before attempting to place the
probe back in the isolation chamber.

Other Temperature Settings

Your device's thermometer operates in several different modes.
Quick Mode is an oral predictive measurement mode that provides a fast reading. Quick Mode allows you to rapidly
identify patients with normal body temperatures. If the patient temperature is outside of the "normal" range, the
thermometer will automatically switch into its standard predictive mode in order to provide a more accurate reading.
Quick Mode is indicated by a rabbit icon on the display . Quick Mode is not available when in Cold Mode or in
Direct Mode.
The thermometer normally operates in predictive mode to provide fast and accurate temperature measurements.
However, in instances when no measurement site is detected or the temperature does not stabilize, the thermometer
will automatically switch to Direct Mode . Additionally, the thermometer will automatically switch into Direct
Mode if the ambient temperature is greater than 35°C (95°F). If this happens, you will hear two short beeps and see
the Direct Mode turtle icon appear . This icon will be continuously displayed whenever the thermometer is
functioning in Direct Mode. The Direct Mode auto feature is always functional for both the red or blue isolation
chamber/probe combinations.
Cold Mode can be selected if a patient's body temperature is expected to be lower than normal, such as when he is
coming out of surgery. Cold Mode is activated by pressing the Site Selection button and °C/°F button simultaneously
on the temp module. When selected, the Cold Mode snowflake icon is displayed, and the probe will preheat to
33°C (91°F). The accuracy and measurement time of Cold Mode measurements are equivalent to standard prediction
measurements at the respective body sites.
