Gently insert the probe tip no more than 1/2 inch (1.3) cm into the rectum. Do not force
the tip into the rectum if resistance is encountered. Please note the ring at the end of the
probe helps ensure you don’t insert too far. Reference over insertion gauge above.
q
Clean the thermometer as recommended above.
q
The peak temperature should be reached in approximately 40 seconds.
q
Read the digital display and subtract 0.9˚F/0.5˚C to obtain an oral equivalent temperature.
UNDERARM (AXILLARY) USE:
q
Wipe underarm with a dry towel.
q
Place probe tip in armpit and bring arm down against the body. The
thermometer should be pointing upward in the same direction as your
body if possible.
q
The time required for an accurate underarm temperature may be 60
seconds or longer depending on placement of the probe and closure
of the arm against the body.
q
Read the digital display and add .9˚F/.5˚C to obtain an oral
equivalent temperature.
ORAL USE:
(For children 4 years and older)
q
Do not drink hot or cold fluids, exercise, or perform other activities
that will raise or lower temperature readings when compared to your
normal, average temperature. The mouth should remain closed up to
