Thank you for purchasing the Physio Logic® AccuflexPro+® Thermometer.

PLEASE READ INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE USE

• To better understand the AccuflexPro+® Thermometer, please read all instructions thoroughly before using.
• This digital thermometer provides a quick and accurate reading of an individual’s body temperature.
• Your thermometer features a comfortable and flexible tip along with beeper and memory functions.
• It is intended to measure body temperature orally, rectally, or under the arm.
• Perfect for clinical or home use for people of all ages

WARNING: DO NOT ALLOW CHILDREN TO USE THIS DEVICE WITHOUT PARENTAL SUPERVISION.

• Do not use thermometer in ear. Designed use is for oral, rectal, and armpit (axilla) readings only.
• The use of temperature readings for self-diagnosis is dangerous. Consult your doctor for the interpretation of results. Self-diagnosis may lead to the worsening of existing disease conditions.
• Do not attempt measurements when the thermometer is wet, as inaccurate readings may result.
• Do not bite the thermometer. Doing so may lead to breakage and/or injury.
• Do not attempt to disassemble or repair the thermometer. Doing so may result in inaccurate readings.
• After each use, disinfect the thermometer especially in case the device is used by more than one person.
• Do not force the thermometer into rectum. Stop insertion when pain is present.
• Failure to do so may lead to injury.
• Do not use thermometer orally after being used rectally.
• For children who are two years old or younger, please do not use the device orally.
• If the unit has been stored at temperatures under 5° C or over 40°C (41° F –104° F), leave it in 5° C – 40° C (41° F – 104° F) ambient temperature for about 15 minutes before using it.

Note: Use of the probe cover may result in a 0.01 °C (0.02 °F) discrepancy from actual temperature.

PRECAUTIONS

The performance of the device may be impacted should one or more of the following occur:

• Operation outside the manufacturer’s stated temperature and humidity range
• Storage outside the manufacturer’s stated temperature and humidity range
• Mechanical shock (for example, drop test) or degraded sensor
• Patient temperature is below ambient temperature
• Portable and mobile RF communications can affect the device
• Do not use the device in an MR Environment

Taking Temperature
Clean and disinfect your AccuflexPro+® thermometer according to the instructions in this user guide.
Operation Mode Set-up (orL / udr / rct / bth): Press ON / OFF for around 4 seconds until the thermometer LCD displays “orL” and release the button. Press ON / OFF again and toggle between modes until the desired one is displayed and release button. When you press the On / Off button to turn the unit on, it will display your selected mode.

Note: Drinking hot or cold fluids, exercising, smoking, or performing other activities may raise or lower your temperature. It is important for the patient to relax for approximately 5 minutes, mouth closed, prior to taking a reading.

Oral Use

1. Press the ON/OFF button to turn the unit on. The unit will beep once, display the last stored temperature, and then show the mode of measurement, in this case “orL”. Then the thermometer will enter into testing mode and will display three dashes with either the Celsius or Fahrenheit symbol.

2. Place the probe tip under the tongue as near as possible to a pocket as shown in Figure 2.
   Avoid moving the unit.

3. A series of beeps will signal that peak temperature is reached.

Rectal Use

Note: Rectal temperatures are an appropriate and reliable method for infants and young children. Otherwise, this method should only be used when it is impossible or impractical to take an oral or axillary temperature.

1. Press the ON/OFF button to turn the unit on. The unit will beep once, display the last stored temperature, and then show the mode of measurement, in this case “rct”. Then the thermometer will enter into testing mode and will display three dashes with either the Celsius or Fahrenheit symbol.
2. Lubricate silver probe tip with petroleum jelly for easy insertion. Gently insert sensor approximately 1 cm (less than 1/2 “) into rectum.
3. A series of beeps will signal that peak temperature is reached.

Axillary Use

1. Wipe the underarm with a dry towel.
2. Press the ON/OFF button to turn the unit on. The unit will beep once, display the last stored temperature, and then show the mode of measurement, in this case “udr”. Then the thermometer will enter into testing mode and will display three dashes with either the Celsius or Fahrenheit symbol.
3. Place the probe tip under the arm so the tip is touching the skin, with the thermometer perpendicular to the body and keep arm pressed firmly to the side so that the probe tip is well covered by the arm. This also ensures the probe is not affected by the room’s air.
4. A series of beeps will signal that peak temperature is reached.

Bath Use

1. Press the ON/OFF button to turn the unit on. The unit will beep once, display the last stored temperature, and then show the mode of measurement, in this case “bth”. Then the thermometer will enter into testing mode and will display “Lo” with either the Celsius or Fahrenheit symbol flashing.

2. Place probe tip into bath water until the thermometer beeps indicating that peak temperature is reached.
   Note:

3. If the temperature reading is less than 32°C or 90°F, the LCD will display “Lo”.

4. If the temperature reading is higher than 42.9°C or 109.2°F, the LCD will display “Hi”.

5. To prolong battery life, press the On/Off Button to turn unit off after testing is completed.
   If no action is taken, the unit will automatically shut off after around IO minutes.

°C /°F Switchable
Temperature readings are available in Celsius or Fahrenheit (located in the upper right corner of LCD). The AccuflexPro+® has been set to Celsius readings by default. To switch the reading mode to Fahrenheit, press and release the On / Off button. When the display shows the last temperature taken, press and hold the On / Off button until “C” appears and then press again to toggle between °C /°F modes.

Cleaning and Disinfection Instructions

Before and after each use, wipe the thermometer several times with a soft, clean cloth and 75% Ethanol or Isopropyl alcohol.
