TAKING AXILLARY TEMPERATURES - BLUE CAPPED
PROBE
Axillary temperatures should only be taken when the 767
SureTemp 4™ is in the Monitor mode with an oral probe.
1. Set the thermometer to the Monitor mode. Attach a probe
cover onto the probe.
2. Dry the axilla prior to
placing the probe. Place
arm snugly at patient’s
side to reduce the cool-
ing effects of evaporation
and convection. Leave
probe in place for ap-
proximately 3 minutes.
3. After the temperature measurement is complete, remove
the probe from the patient, then eject the probe cover by
firmly pressing the ejection button. (Figure 1).
4. Insert the probe into the storage channel to clear the
display, in preparation for another temperature.
MAINTENANCE
Other than using a new probe cover for each temperature
reading and keeping the instrument clean, there is no
requirement for user maintenance. Refer to the 767
SureTemp4™ Technical Service Manual for detailed
information on sterilization and calibration verification.
