VC150 Vital Signs Monitor

11-5

Welch Allyn temperature: Welch Allyn temperature measurement

The temperature probes are color-coded to indicate which probes are used for 
oral/axillary or rectal measurement sites.

Refer to the VC150 supplies and accessories document for temperature probe 
and probe cover reorder part numbers.

Proper storage of thermometer probe covers

To reduce the risk of contamination, keep the thermometer 
probe covers in their original 25-count box and store the 
box in the storage well provided on the monitor.

Do not allow the tip of the temperature probe to come into contact with a 
heat source (e.g., hands or fingers) prior to taking a temperature 
measurement. If this occurs, allow 5 seconds for the probe tip to cool before 
proceeding.

Never insert a probe cover into the probe well.
