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