Plus temperature module

The temperature module uses a thermistor thermometer design and a predictive algorithm to

calculate patient temperatures in the Predictive mode.

WARNING Patient injury risk. Prior to taking a temperature, instruct the patient

not to bite down on the probe as patient injury and damage to the probe may result.

WARNING Patient injury risk. Do not exceed the recommended temperature

measurement durations in Direct mode. Continuous measurement durations of 3

minutes at the oral and rectal sites and 5 minutes at the axillary site are

recommended for accurate measurement. Do not continuously measure beyond 10

minutes in any mode.

WARNING Probe covers are single-use only. Re-use of a probe cover may result

in spread of bacteria and cross-contamination.

WARNING Patient injury risk. Use only Welch Allyn single-use disposable probe

covers. Never take a temperature measurement without a single-use probe cover

securely attached. Failure to use a probe cover can cause patient discomfort from a

heated probe, patient cross-contamination, and inaccurate temperature readings.
