NOTE
: THE MOUTH MUST REMAIN CLOSED DURING THE MEASUREMENT TO
ENSURE ACCURATE READINGS.
RECTAL USE
Rectal temperature should only be taken when oral and axillary temperatures are inconvenient. It
is recommended that axillary temperatures be taken on infants. LUBRICATE WITH
LUBRICATING JELLY AND INSERT THE PROBE NO MORE THAN 1/2 INCH INTO
RECTUM. Hold thermometer in place until you hear the beep signal and the
o
F sign stops flashing
(about 40 seconds.)
AXILLARY USE
Dry armpit before measurement. Place the tip of the probe under arm so that the tip is touching
the skin. This area is called axilla. Hold the thermometer so that it is parallel to the patient’s body
and fold the arm over the chest. This ensures that the tip of the probe is well covered and not
influenced by air. Hold thermometer in place until you hear the beep signal and the
o
F sign stops
flashing (about 2 minutes)
