Tips for Taking Pediatric Axillary Temperatures with SureTemp®Plus

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

> Continue taking the temperature for approximately five minutes

> Long-term continuous monitoring is not recommended in any mode
