Safety and Warnings

SureTemp® Plus Service Manual
WARNING: No modification of this equipment allowed
WARNING: In order to obtain accurate and reliable temperature results and
ensure patient safety, it is important that this manual is read thoroughly prior to
using the instrument. If you have any technical or clinical questions concerning
the thermometer's use and/or care, please contact the Welch Allyn Customer
Service Department.
WARNING: Use single-use Welch Allyn disposable probe covers to limit patient
cross-contamination. The use of any other probe cover may produce temperature
measurement errors or result in inaccurate 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.
WARNING: Long-term continuous monitoring beyond three to five minutes is not
recommended in any mode.
WARNING: Biting the probe tip while taking a temperature may result in damage
to the probe.
WARNING: Oral/axillary probes (blue ejection button at top of probe) and blue
oral/axillary removable probe wells are used for taking oral and axillary
temperatures only. Rectal probes (red ejection button) and red rectal removable
probe wells are used for taking rectal temperatures only. Use of the probe at the
wrong site will result in temperature errors. Use of the incorrect removable probe
well could result in patient cross contamination.
WARNING: To ensure patient safety and temperature measurement accuracy,
use only accessories and supplies recommended or supplied by Welch Allyn.
WARNING: Equipment is not suitable for use in the presence of a flammable
anesthetic mixture with air or with oxygen or nitrous oxide.
WARNING: Do not take an axillary temperature through patient's clothing. Direct
probe cover to skin contact is required.
