INTRODUCTION

The Welch Allyn 679V SureTemp is a portable thermistor thermometer
to be used for measuring patient temperatures ranging from 84°F to
108°F (28.9°C to 42.2°C). Rectal probes utilize single-use disposable
probe covers which limit cross-contamination. Rectal temperatures are
taken using Normal or Monitor operating modes. In the Normal mode,
the thermometer’s microprocessor “predicts” body temperature in about
in about 15 seconds for rectal temperatures. The Monitor mode continu­ously displays the temperature of the probe which will reflect the
patient’s actual temperature in about 3 minutes and will continue for as
long as the probe remains in place.

SAFETY & WARNINGS

DO NOT USE IN THE PRESENCE OF FLAMMABLE

ANESTHETICS.

Caution: Federal (USA) law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of
a physician.

In order to obtain accurate and reliable temperature-taking results and ensure
patient safety, it is important that this booklet be read thoroughly prior to
using the instrument. If you have any technical or clinical questions concern­ing the thermometer’s use and/or care, please contact our Customer Service
Department at [phone].

• Single-use disposable probe covers, available from Welch Allyn, will
limit patient cross-contamination. The use of any other probe cover or
the failure to use a probe cover may produce temperature errors and will
invalidate the instrument’s warranty.

• Rectal probes (red ejection button) are to be used for taking rectal
temperatures only. The use of the wrong probe will produce temperature
errors.

• The thermometer case is not waterproof; do not drip fluids onto it.

• Do not use this instrument for any purpose other than that specified in
this booklet. Doing so will invalidate the instrument’s warranty.

• Do not use the thermometer if you notice any signs of damage to the

probe or instrument. Contact our Customer Service Department for
immediate assistance.

• Do not ETO sterilize without using proper procedures described in the
679V SureTemp technical manual.
