range; thermometer undergoes mechanical shock (drop); patient temperature is

below ambient temperature.

Changing the Battery

The battery in your digital thermometer needs to be

facing the back side of the unit.

3. Carefully slide the battery cap back into place, making sure that the cap fits

snugly to protect the battery compartment from moisture.

NOTE: Please properly dispose the battery away from small children and heat.

Taking an Oral Temperature

Appr

o

ximate measurement time:

16 seconds

1. Using the diagram on the right, place the

probe tip under the tongue as near as

possib

le to the heat poc

ket. The diagram

also shows the temperature variables by

not placing the tip in the heat pocket

area.

NO

TE:

Dr

inking hot or cold fluids

,

e

x

ercising, smoking or perf

or

ming other

activities may raise or lower your

temperature. Therefore, it is important to

relax f

or approximately 5 minutes with your

mouth closed prior to taking a reading.

2. The current temperature is shown and the

°

F will continue to flash during the

reading.

3.

When the peak temper

ature has been reached, the

°

ther

mometer will sound f

our sets of fiv

Cleaning Instructions

Before and after each use, clean the thermometer with a soft cloth and 70% isopropyl

alcohol diluted with water, or wash with COLD soapy water. An intact unit can be

submersed in w

ater or alcohol. However, do not soak for an extended period of time.

FAST 9-Second

Digital Thermometer

Thank you for purchasing a MABIS Digital Thermometer. Please read the following

instr

uctions to achieve the most accurate temperatures and safe operation. With

proper care and use

, your thermometer will provide you with years of reliable

readings

.

What is a

“Normal”Temperature?

Although the gener

ally accepted “normal” temperature reading is 98.6

°

F

, temperature

readings can vary from 97

°

F to 99

°

F and still may be considered “normal”. Variations

in temperature can be attributed to activities such as exercise, smoking, eating and

dr

inking. Even time of day may influence your temperature. For example, your

temper

ature is lower in the morning than in the afternoon. Other variations may be

due to the location of the temper

ature reading. While the oral temperature follows the

guidelines previously described, a rectal temperature is generally 1.0

°

F higher.

Con

versely, an axillary (under the arm) temperature will be 1.0

°

F lo

wer.

Features of your MABIS Digital Thermometer

Taking an Axillary Temperature (under the arm)

Appr

oximate measurement time: 25 seconds

1.

Wipe the underarm with a dry towel.

2.

Place the probe tip under the arm so the tip is touching the skin with the

thermometer perpendicular to the body.

3. Position the arm across the chest so the probe tip is well covered by the arm. This

also insures the probe is not aff

ected by the room’s air.

4.

When the peak temperature has been reached, the

°

F will stop flashing and the

thermometer will sound four sets of five quick beeps.

5. To turn the unit off, press the ON/OFF button. The unit will automatically shut off

after appro

ximately nine minutes.

NO

TE:

Axillar

y temperatures are generally 1.0

°

F lo

wer than oral readings.

Taking a Rectal Temperature

Appr

oximate measurement time: 9 seconds

NOTE:

Rectal temperatures are an appropriate and reliable method for infants and

small children.

Otherwise, this method should only be used when it is impossible or

impr

actical to take an oral or axillary temperature.

1. After applying the disposable probe cover, apply a water-soluble lubricant to

the tip

.

2.

Gently insert the probe a MAXIMUM of 1/2” into the rectum.

3.

When the peak temperature has been reached, the

°

F will stop flashing and the

thermometer will sound four sets of five quick beeps.

4. To turn the unit off, press the ON/OFF button. The unit will automatically power

do

wn after approximately ten minutes.

NO

TE:

Rectal temper

atures are generally 1.0

°

F higher than or

al readings.

Using Disposable Probe Covers

It is recommended to use the enclosed disposable probe covers to prevent cross
