Procedures for Monitor Mode Determinations (Axillary
Determinations)
1. Connect the temperature probe cable to the temperature
probe connector.
2. Remove the temperature
probe from the probe
holster. An audible single-
tone sounds. Place a
protective temperature
probe cover on the probe
and insert the probe in the
patient's axilla, making sure
the tip of the probe is in
contact with the skin and
positioned as close as possible to the axillary artery with
the patient's arm held close to his/her side.
5. The determination begins automatically. The dashes in the
vital signs area are replaced with a flashing temperature
value as soon as the probe warms up. Leave the probe in
place for the same length of time as required by standard
hospital procedure for taking an axillary temperature. The
Monitor does not beep to indicate a final reading.
6. Remove the probe. Discard the disposable cover by
holding the probe as you would a syringe and pressing
the button on the probe handle. Place the probe in the
probe holster. An audible single-tone sounds. Once you
place the probe in the probe holster, the temperature
values will be cleared in the user-selected timeframe.
Notes
• If there is a long delay from the time the probe is
removed from the probe holster until it is inserted into
the patient’s mouth, it is possible that the instrument will
not display a final temperature. If this occurs, insert the
probe into the probe holster, remove it again, and start a
new measurement.
• If an alarm is actively sounding, an audible tone will not
sound.
• If the probe is not inserted/placed within 30 seconds of
probe removal, the Monitor may issue an alarm.
