15.6.2 Measuring the Tympanic Temperature
To take the tympanic temperature, follow this procedure:
1. Visually inspect the patient’s ear canal.
2. Remove the thermometer from the base.
3. Inspect the probe lens. If any debris is present, clean it with a lens wipe or lint free swab.
4. Press the scan button to verify functionality and mode selection on the LCD screen.
5. Install a probe cover by firmly inserting the probe tip into a probe cover. After the probe cover is installed,
the thermometer will perform a system reset. The thermometer will then display dashes, the equivalence
mode, and the thermometer icon.
6. Inspect the probe cover to make sure it is fully seated (no space between cover and tip base) and no holes,
tears, or wrinkles are present in the plastic film.
