4) When dashes “– – –“ appear in the TEMP display window, the temperature sensor is
ready to take a measurement. To take a normal predictive temperature, simply insert the
probe tip gently into the patient’s slightly opened mouth. Carefully slide the probe under
the tongue on either side of the mouth to reach the sublingual pocket. Refer to Figure 9.
To take a direct read temperature (monitor mode) wait 1 minute until a temperature value
appears in the TEMP display. The decimal point associated with the temperature value
will flash at a rate of one (1) second “ON” and one (1) second “OFF” as a reminder that
you are in monitor mode. Insert the probe tip into the patient’s mouth as described
above. The SureTemp® Plus probes will report a direct read temperature for
approximately ten (10) minutes and then blank the display, even if the probe remains out
of its’ well.
NOTE:
Accurate temperatures can only be obtained in this location. Temperatures in other mouth locations
can vary by as much as 2°F or 1°C.

5) The probe should be held by the clinician during the entire temperature measurement
process to insure the probe tip maintains tissue contact.
6) During the predictive temperature measurement cycle, “walking” segments will appear in
the TEMP display window indicating that a predictive measurement is in process.
7) When the final temperature has been reached, the temperature value will be displayed in
the TEMP display window and an audible tone will be generated. The time of the
measurement and the measured temperature will be stored in the monitor’s history
memory.

To change the Temperature scale, refer to Page 101, SELECTING THE TEMPERATURE
