6. Hold the probe in place, keeping the tip of the probe in contact with the oral
tissue throughout the measurement process. Rotating "walking" segments
appear on the display, indicating that measurement is in progress.
7 . The unit will beep three times when the final temperature is reached. The
measurement site, temperature scale, and patient temperature will display
on the LCD. The final temperature will remain on the display for 30 seconds.
8. If you cannot correctly measure the patient's temperature in
Normal Mode, the unit will automatically enter Monitor
Mode. In this mode, measurement time is extended. Either
repeat the temperature measurement in Normal Mode in the
opposite sublingual pocket or keep the probe in place for
three minutes in Monitor Mode. The thermometer will not beep to indicate a
final temperature. Record the temperature before removing the probe from
the site, as the temperature reading is not maintained in memory.
Long-term continuous monitoring beyond three minutes is not
recommended in the Oral Mode.
9. After the temperature measurement is complete, remove the probe from the
patient's mouth. Eject the probe cover by firmly pressing the ejection button
on the top of the probe.
10. Return the probe to the probe well. The LCD display will go blank.
Patient actions may interfere with accurate oral temperature
readings. Ingesting hot or cold liquids, eating food, chewing gum or
mints, brushing teeth, smoking, or performing strenuous activity
may affect temperature readings for up to 20 minutes after activity
has ended.
