4) When dashes “– – –“ appear in the TEMP display window, the temperature sensor is
ready to take a measurement. To take a normal predictive temperature, separate the
buttocks with one hand. Apply a thin coat of water-based lubricant when necessary.
Using the other hand, gently insert the probe ONLY 1cm (3/8 inch ONLY) inside the
rectal sphincter.
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 rectal sphincter 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.
WARNING:
Extreme caution should be used to avoid risk of bowel perforation in children.
5) Tilt the probe to insure good tissue contact and continue to keep the buttocks separated
while the measurement is in process.
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.
