Temperature Warnings<br />
SureTemp ® Plus<br />
These warnings pertain to the <strong>Spot</strong> <strong>LXi</strong> temperature feature.<br />
These warnings are specific to the SureTemp Plus thermometer option.<br />
WARNING Use only Welch Allyn probe covers. Using other manufacturers’<br />
probe covers or no probe cover may produce temperature measurement errors<br />
and/or inaccuracy.<br />
WARNING Long-term continuous monitoring beyond three to five minutes is<br />
not recommended in any mode.<br />
WARNING Oral/axillary probes (blue ejection button at top of probe) and blue<br />
removable probe wells are used for taking oral and axillary temperatures only.<br />
Rectal probes (red ejection button) and red removable probe wells are used for<br />
taking rectal temperatures only. Use of the probe at the wrong site will result in<br />
temperature errors. Use of the incorrect removable probe well could result in<br />
patient cross-contamination.<br />
WARNING The thermometer connectors and probe are not waterproof. Do not<br />
immerse or drip fluids on these items. Should this occur, dry the connectors and<br />
probe with warm air. Check all functions for proper operation and accuracy.<br />
WARNING Do not take an axillary temperature through patient’s clothing. Direct<br />
probe cover to skin contact is required.<br />
WARNING Do not autoclave.<br />
WARNING Use Welch Allyn single-use disposable probe covers to limit patient<br />
cross-contamination.<br />
WARNING Incorrect insertion of probe can cause bowel perforation.<br />
WARNING Washing hands greatly reduces the risk of cross-contamination and<br />
nosocomial infection.<br />
WARNING To ensure optimal accuracy, always confirm that the correct mode is<br />
selected.
