SAFETY AND WARNINGS
In order to obtain accurate and reliable temperature results and
ensure patient safety, it is important that this booklet is 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 the Welch Allyn Customer Service
Department.
Use single-use Welch Allyn disposable probe covers to limit
patient cross-contamination. The use of any other probe cover
may produce temperature measurement errors or result in
inaccurate readings.
Do not take a patient’s temperature without using a Welch Allyn
disposable probe cover. Doing so can cause patient discomfort,
patient cross contamination, and erroneous temperature
readings.
Long-term continuous monitoring beyond three to five minutes is
not recommended in any mode.
Biting the probe tip while taking a temperature may result in
damage to the probe.
Oral/axillary probes (blue ejection button at top of probe) and blue
oral/axillary removable probe wells are used for taking oral and
axillary temperatures only. Rectal probes (red ejection button) and
red rectal removable probe wells are used for taking rectal
temperatures only. Use of the probe at the wrong site will result
in temperature errors. Use of the incorrect removable probe well
could result in patient cross contamination.
To ensure patient safety and temperature measurement accuracy,
use only accessories and supplies recommended or supplied by
Welch All yn.
Equipment is not suitable for use in the presence of a flammable
anesthetic mixture with air or with oxygen or nitrous oxide.
The thermometer case, connectors, and probe are not
waterproof. Do not immerse or drip fluids on these items. Should
this occur, dry the device with warm air. Check all operating
functions for proper operation.
2
Do not take an axillary temperature through patient’s clothing.
Direct probe cover to skin contact is required.
The Welch Allyn SureTemp Plus thermometer consists of high
quality precision parts. Protect it from severe impact and shock. A
qualified service technician must check any SureTemp Plus
thermometer which is dropped or damaged to ensure proper
operation prior to further use. Do not use the thermometer if you
notice any signs of damage to the probe or instrument. Contact
the Welch Allyn Customer Service Department for assistance.
Welch Allyn recommends that batteries are removed for long term
storage since alkaline batteries can deteriorate and leak over
extended periods of time, and possibly cause damage to the
thermometer.
Do not autoclave. Please note the cleaning procedures described
on page 21 of this manual.
Do not use this instrument for any purpose other than that
specified in this booklet. Doing so will invalidate the instrument’s
warranty.
This thermometer complies with current required standards for
electromagnetic interference and should not present a problem to
other equipment nor is it effected by other devices. As a
precaution, avoid using this device in close proximity to other
equipment.

INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of the Welch Allyn SureTemp Plus Thermistor
Thermometer. Please follow the operating and maintenance instructions provided
in this manual to ensure years of accurate and reliable service. Please read these
instructions thoroughly before using the instrument, and then store these
instructions in a safe place for future reference.
The Welch Allyn SureTemp Plus is a portable thermistor thermometer
used for accurately measuring body temperatures at oral, axillary, or
rectal sites.
Normal body temperature is a range, which varies from person to person
and is influenced by factors such as time of day and an individual’s level of
activity, ingested medications, age, and gender. A person’s normal
temperature tends to decrease with age.
The following table shows that ranges of normal also vary by site. Do not
directly compare measurements from different sites.
This booklet provides informative tips and instructions for using the
SureTemp Plus model 690 and model 692 thermometers. The chart on
the following page provides details about the differences between these
SureTemp Plus instruments.
