Welch Allyn temperature: Description
Description
You can measure oral, axillary or rectal temperatures with the Welch Allyn 
SureTemp
®
 Plus temperature parameter option. This parameter draws data 
from an electronic thermometer with a temperature-sensing device known as a 
thermistor at the tip of the probe. When the tip of the probe is brought in contact 
with surrounding tissue, the electrical resistance is measured, the algorithm 
calculates and displays the patient's temperature. The probe requires a probe 
cover and should never be used without one.
The temperature is displayed on the upper right 
corner of the monitor display. The temperature area 
displays the temperature in degrees Celsius (° C) or 
Fahrenheit (° F), time elapsed since last measurement 
and measurement site. The Welch Allyn SureTemp
®
 
Plus can operate in 2 different modes: predictive and 
monitor.
NOTES
A monitor with the Welch Allyn temperature technology configuration 
setting cannot perform Exergen temperature measurements and vice versa.
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.
The Welch Allyn SureTemp
®
 Plus thermometer consists of high quality 
precision parts. Protect it from severe impact and shock. If the thermometer 
has been dropped or if you notice any signs of damage to the probe or 
instrument, do not use the thermometer. Contact service personnel to 
ensure proper operation prior to further use.
Safety
WARNINGS
To ensure patient safety and accurate Welch Allyn temperature 
measurement, use only Welch Allyn accessories and supplies.
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. Use only 
Welch Allyn temperature probe covers.
Long-term continuous monitoring beyond three to five minutes is not 
recommended in any mode.
Do not take an axillary temperature through patient’s clothing. Direct 
probe cover to skin contact is required.
Do not reuse, or sterilize and reuse protective covers. Apply a new cover 
before each use.
