CASMED 740 Monitors
7. TEMPERATURE MONITORING
WELCH ALLYN TEMPERATURE
WARNING:
During use, single-use disposable temperature probe covers supplied by CAS Medical Systems
or Welch Allyn will limit patient cross-contamination. The use of any other probe cover or the
failure to use a probe cover may produce temperature errors and will invalidate the monitor’s
warranty. Temperature probe covers are required to ensure the safety of the patient and user.
CAUTION:
When replacing a SureTemp Plus probe, it is recommended to replace the Probe Well received
with the probe. Failure to replace the Probe Well could result in patient cross contamination.
TAKING AN ORAL TEMPERATURE
CAUTION:
Never use the Temperature Probe without a probe cover. Accurate oral temperatures can only
be obtained by using the blue temperature probe. The use of the wrong probe will produce
temperature errors.
To take an oral temperature (in either Predictive or Monitor mode) follow this procedure:
1) Insure that the oral probe is connected to the monitor and that the probe is secured into
its holder. An audible “click” should be heard when the SureTemp® probe is completely
placed into its holder. The SureTemp Plus® probes will slide in and out of the Probe
Well without any restrictions. The oral probe has a blue probe cover ejection button.
2) Remove the probe from the probe holder. A short self-test mode will be initiated where
every LED segment in the TEMP display window are illuminated briefly. Following this
self-test the display will show “OrL”. The “OrL” in the TEMP display window indicates that
the oral algorithm will be used to take a predictive temperature measurement.
3) Load a probe cover onto the probe by holding the probe collar with the thumb and
forefinger, being careful not to hold or press the ejection button. Refer to Figure 8.
