1. Avoid contact with electrodes, wires, tape, clothing, etc.
2. Ensure the probe tip is completely surrounded by tissue
at all times. Prolonged exposure of the axilla to ambient air can
cause inaccurate readings.
3. Use of Welch Allyn disposable probe covers is recommended.
Use of any other probe cover may result in inaccurate
temperature readings.
4. If you question a reading, recheck the temperature using
the Monitor Mode on your thermometer. Take an axillary
temperature as described.
> Continue to hold the probe in place after the temperature displays
>
Press the Mode Selection button until the Monitor Mode
indicator appears on the screen
