Temperature Operating Modes
Thermometry measurements are made with the integrated Welch Allyn SureTemp® thermometer.
Oral and rectal probes utilize single-use disposable probe covers which limit cross-contamination.
Oral, axillary or rectal temperatures are taken using 'Normal' or 'Monitor' operating modes. Axillary
temperatures are taken using the oral probe.
In Normal mode the thermometer's microprocessor "predicts" body temperature in about 4 seconds
for oral temperatures, about 10 seconds for axillary temperatures and in about 15 seconds for rectal
