WARNING: The monitor is intended only as an adjunct in patient assessment. It must
be used in conjunction with clinical signs and symptoms.
WARNING: To ensure patient safety and to obtain accurate and reliable temperature
results, read this section thoroughly before using the temperature instrument.
WARNING:
recommended single-use disposable probe covers. The use of any other probe cover, or
the failure to use a probe cover, can endanger patients in the electrical risk point of
view and produce inaccurate temperature measurements.
WARNING: Never re-use a probe cover. Discard, without using it, any probe cover
that makes contact with any heat source (including hands and fingers) prior to use.
WARNING: Use of a probe at the wrong site produces inaccurate measurements and
can cause patient injury.
WARNING: Use extreme caution when taking rectal temperatures on children. Insert
the probe tip only 3/8-inch (~1 cm) to avoid risk of bowel perforation.
WARNING: The thermometer consists of high-quality precision parts. Protect it from
severe impact or shock. Do not use the thermometer if you notice any signs of damage
to the probe or the instrument.
WARNING: Do not use the temperature instrument for any purpose other than those
described in this document. Doing so will invalidate the product warranty.
WARNING: The probe must remain in steady contact with the sublingual pocket
throughout the measurement period; otherwise, the monitor fails to accurately predict
the temperature.
