Oral Temperature Measurement
Using Probe with Blue Ejection Button and
Blue Probe Well
When used correctly, the SureTemp Plus
thermometer accurately measures an oral
temperature in approximately 4–6 seconds. The
ability of the SureTemp Plus thermometer to take
an accurate oral temperature requires correct user
technique.
Taking an Oral Temperature
1. Ensure that the oral probe ( blue ejection
button ) and the blue probe well are installed.
2. Holding the probe handle with your thumb and
two fingers on the indentations of the probe
handle, withdraw the probe from the probe
well.
3. Verify that the oral model icon is selected
by observing the flashing head icon on
the instrument’s display. If this icon is not
flashing, press the
Mode Selection
button until the head icon appears.
4. Load a probe cover by inserting the probe into
a probe cover and pressing the probe handle
down firmly. The probe handle will move
slightly to engage the probe cover.
.
5. With the Oral Mode indicator flashing, quickly
place the probe tip under the patient’s tongue
on either side of the mouth to reach the rear
sublingual pocket. Have the patient close his/
her lips around the probe.
6. Hold the probe in place, keeping the tip of the
probe in contact with the oral tissue throughout
the measurement process. Rotating “walking”
segments appear on the display, indicating that
measurement is in progress.
7. The unit will beep three times when the final
temperature is reached. The measurement
site, temperature scale, and patient
temperature will display on the LCD. The final
temperature will remain on the display for 30
seconds.
8. If you cannot correctly measure
the patient’s temperature in
Normal Mode, the unit will
automatically enter Monitor
Mode. In this mode,
measurement time is extended. Either repeat
the temperature measurement in Normal Mode
in the opposite sublingual pocket or keep the
probe in place for three minutes in Monitor
Mode. The thermometer will not beep to
indicate a final temperature. Record the
temperature before removing the probe from
the site, as the temperature reading is not
maintained in memory.
Low Battery
A single flashing segment
appears on the battery symbol.
Normal operation is not affected.
Replace the batteries.
Dead Battery
An open battery symbol remains
on the LCD and the device will
not operate. Replace the
batteries.
Security Mode
The instrument is in Security
Mode. Return the thermometer
to the wall holder to resume
normal operation.
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.
Use only Welch Allyn probe covers. The
use of other manufacturer’s probe covers
or no probe cover may produce
temperature measurement errors and/or
inaccuracy.
