RECTAL USE
Commonly used for babies, young children, or when it is difficult to take an oral or underarm temperature.
1. Cover the thermometer’s tip with a probe cover and lubricate with a water-soluble jelly for easier insertion. Do
not use a petroleum jelly. Read the label of the lubricant to be sure you are using the right kind.
2. Lay the patient on his/her side. If the patient is an infant, the proper position for a baby is to lay on its stomach
with legs hanging down, either across your knees or at the edge of a bed or changing table. This positions the
infant’s rectum for safe and easy insertion of the thermometer.
3. Gently insert the tip of the thermometer NO MORE THAN 1/2 inch into the rectum. If you detect resistance, stop.
Hold the thermometer in place during measurement.
4. When the peak temperature is reached (usually 10 seconds) 10 beep signals will sound and the “°F” sign will
stop flashing. The temperature is now ready to read and will not change when the thermometer is removed.
NOTE: This method produces a temperature 1° higher than a temperature taken orally.
5. Turn the thermometer off by pressing the On/Off button. If you forget to turn it off, the thermometer will
automatically turn off after approximately 10 minutes.
6. Dispose of used probe cover and wash the thermometer as recommended.
TO RECALL THE LAST TEMPERATURE
When the thermometer is turned on, continue to hold the button down approximately 2 seconds. The last measured
temperature will be shown in the LCD display with the letter “M” shown under the degree sign for approximately 3
seconds, then unit will shut off.
CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
Clean the thermometer by washing with soap and warm water or rubbing alcohol (70% isopropyl alcohol).
Wipe dry with soft cloth.
