Predictive mode measurement is acquired. The temperature

separate the buttocks and hold the probe in place throughout
the measurement process.
Note The monitor does not retain Direct mode temperatures in
memory. Therefore, it is important to note the temperature
before removing the probe from the measurement site and
then manually record it in the patient record.

the eject button on the top of the probe to release the probe cover.
