6. Temperature Measurement
6.1 Where to Apply the Temperature Probe
Clean the probe before use.
See Section 11 for cleaning instructions.
The AccuVet temperature probe may be placed
either in the esophagus or the rectum while the patient is lying down. The recommended site in cats and dogs is the
esophagus. The recommended site in horses is the rectum. Placement is not interchangeable so proper probe
labeling is encouraged to avoid cross-contamination.
CAUTION:
Label usage of temperature probe to avoid cross-contamination.
Disposable, non-rigid thermometer probe covers can be used as needed. Users should ensure probe covers are used
in accordance with manufacturers’ instructions.
6.2 Taking a Temperature Measurement
TIP
: Clean the probe before and after each use making sure to remove all bioburden.
1. Place temp probe on patient and connect to Vet30E. Position patient so that they are lying down. Apply disposable,
non-rigid probe cover if using. Place the probe either in the esophagus or rectum.
TIP
: Placement is not interchangeable so proper probe labeling is encouraged to avoid cross-contamination.
2. Power up and select animal mode. Once the temperature probe senses a reading from a patient, the values will
display on the screen. Verify that the probe is properly positioned and correctly detecting the temperature by
watching several seconds of data. While the device is searching for a temperature measurement, dashes will appear
on the screen.
TIP
