Taking a rectal temperature
Caution: rectal temperatures are an appropriate and reliable method for infants and small children. Otherwise, this method should only be used when
it is impossible or impractical to take an oral or auxiliary temperature.
1. After applying the disposable probe cover, apply a water-soluble lubricant to the tip.
2. Gently insert the probe a MAXIMUM of 1/2” into the rectum.
3. When the peak temperature has been reached, the will stop flashing and the thermometer will sound a series of beeps for ten times. If the
temperature is above 37.8 C (100 F), the unit will sound ten sets of two short beeps each.
4. To turn the unit off, press the ON/OFF button. Or the unit will automatically shut off after approximately ten minutes.
NOTE: Rectal temperatures are generally 0.5 C (0.9 F) higher than oral readings.
