Probe Cover Application; Taking A Reading - MABIS Healthcare Tender TEMP 18-200-000 Manual De Instrucciones

To Store:
• Remove the battery if the thermometer will not be used for an extended
period of time.
• Store in a sun-free and dust-free, dry area at a temperature between
-13.0 ° F – 131.0 ° F (-25.0 ° C – 55.0 ° C).
• Protect the thermometer from severe impact or shocks. Keep stored in the
protective storage case.

Probe Cover Application

Prior to every measurement, make sure a TenderTemp probe cover is properly
applied to the probe. Using the dispenser and following the steps below:
1) Position the dispenser vertically on a flat stable surface,
Fig. 1.
2) Place a probe cover over the dispenser hole with the paper
side up. Match the shape of the cover to the outline of the
hole, Fig. 2.
3) Hold the thermometer and point the probe in a straight
downward position. Align the lens of the probe, flat, over the
center of the probe cover window. Make sure that the probe
is completely perpendicular to the hole, Fig. 3.
4) Firmly thrust the probe into the probe cover window, Fig. 4.
Continue to firmly push until complete resistance is felt from
the base of the probe meeting the dispenser.
5) Lift with the cover securely attached, making sure
that the lip of the cover fits securely around the base of
the probe, Fig. 5a.
NOTE:
• Probe covers can create a choking hazard for children.
Never leave a child or infant unattended with a thermometer
or probe cover.
• Use a new probe cover for each measurement to avoid cross contamination.
• Discard torn, damaged or improperly fitted probe covers.
• Make sure the probe cover is securely attached before use.
Troubleshooting
Probe cover tears when trying to apply – See Fig. 3 for proper positioning of the
probe. Make sure the probe is in a straight downward position.
Probe cover does not completely cover the probe – See Fig. 4. Firmly thrust the
probe through the center of the probe. The dispenser is designed to absorb the
force.

Taking a Reading

After applying a properly fitted probe cover,
1) Press the POWER button. The system will perform a self-test,
Fig. 1.
2) The last measured temperature will display for
approximately 3 seconds, Fig. 2.
3) The thermometer will beep and an °F or ° C
symbol will flash indicating the thermometer is
ready for measurement (See 'Changing Modes'),
Fig. 3.
4) Straighten the ear canal to give a clear view of the
eardrum.
• For children under 1 year, pull the ear straight
back, Fig. 4.
• For ages 1 year to adult, pull the ear up and
back, Fig. 5.
5) While pulling on the ear, insert the probe snugly into the ear
canal and press the SCAN button, Fig. 6. A long beep will
sound indicating measurement is complete.
6) If the temperature is 99.5 ° F (37.5 ° C) or above, a series of
12 rapid double beeps will sound to indicate a fever.
7) Remove the thermometer from the ear. The
display will show the measured temperature,
Fig. 7.
8) Replace the probe cover after every measurement.
To ensure accuracy, please wait at least 30 seconds between successive
readings.
NOTE: It is possible for the elderly, infants under 3 months of age, and those
with compromised immune systems or other medical conditions not to have an
elevated temperature even when they are ill.
Special situations such as ear canal drainage, infection, or other conditions such
as prior ear surgery (tubes), may preclude the use of ear thermometers in one
or both ears or may affect the accuracy of the reading.
