5. The monitor sounds a tone when the final temperature is reached (in approximately
6 to 15 seconds). The temperature frame continues to display the temperature even
after the probe is returned to the probe well.
Note To switch to the Direct mode, touch after you
acquire the Predictive mode measurement. The temperature
frame displays text indicating that the Direct mode is active.
The monitor sounds a tone at the start of a Direct mode measurement.
6. Remove the probe after the temperature measurement is complete and firmly press
the eject button on the top of the probe to release the probe cover.
WARNING Patient injury risk. Do not exceed the
recommended temperature measurement durations in Direct
mode. Continuous measurement durations of 3 minutes at
the oral and rectal sites and 5 minutes at the axillary site are
recommended for accurate measurement. Do not
continuously measure beyond 10 minutes in any mode.
Ensure that probe covers are disposed of according to facility requirements or local
regulations.
7. Return the probe to the probe well.
8. Wash your hands to reduce the risk of cross-contamination.
Take a temperature in the Direct mode
Direct mode displays the temperature of the probe as long as the probe tip remains in
place at the measurement site and remains within the operating patient temperature
range. The patient’s temperature will reach final equilibrium in approximately 3 minutes
at the oral and rectal measurement sites and approximately 5 minutes at the axillary site.
The monitor enters Direct mode by the following methods.
•
After you complete a Predictive mode measurement, touch to switch from
Predictive to Direct mode. The temperature frame displays text indicating that the
Direct mode is active.
• Remove the probe from the probe well, load a probe cover, select a temperature
site, and expose the probe to ambient air for more than 60 seconds to switch the
monitor to Direct mode. The temperature frame displays text indicating that the
Direct mode is active.
• If you have a patient whose body temperature is below the normal temperature
range and you follow the previous step, the probe sensor identifies this condition
and turns off the probe preheater in order to accommodate the lower body
temperature measurement.
