Measuring Temperature Continuously

Measuring Temperature Continuously
To measure a patient's temperature continuously
Step Action
1 Make sure Monitoring mode is the active mode. If the Temperature Mode Indicator LED (the letter M) is
lit, the monitor is in Monitoring mode. For information on changing this setting, see Setting the
Measurement Mode.
2 Remove the oral probe from the probe well and attach a probe cover.
Caution—
during use. Be careful not to press the probe ejection button (where the cord exits the probe) during use.
3 Place the probe tip in the sublingual pocket of the patient's mouth. Hold the probe during the entire
temperature measurement process and keep the probe tip in contact with tissue at all times.
Observe the display until the value stops changing (3 – 5 minutes), indicating the final temperature.
Unlike Predictive mode, there is no audible signal to indicate a final temperature reading in Monitoring
mode.
4 When the measurement is complete, hold the probe as you would a syringe and press the probe eject
button at the base of the probe to release the used cover into a waste container.
5 Return the probe into the probe well to prepare for the next measurement.
