MABIS 15-705-000 Operator's manual

Cleaning Instructions
You can clean your Digital Thermometer by wiping it with soap and water or
70% Isopropyl Alcohol.THE UNIT MUST NEVER BE SUBMERSED IN ANY
IQUID OR STERI IZED IN ANY WAY (GAS OR STEAM AUTOC AVES).
Failure to follow these instructions will cause severe damage to your unit and
void your warranty.
Switching Dual Scale
NOTE: To change between Celcius and Fahrenheit readings, hold the POWER
button for 2 seconds until the “ o” with an “m” displays and changes between °F and
°C. Press the POWER button again to turn the thermometer off.
How to Take our Temperature
1. Clean the thermometer according the instructions provided.
2. Apply a disposable probe cover to the clean, dry thermometer.
3. Determine whether the measurement site will be oral, rectal or underarm.
NOTE: Measure ent ti e ay vary based on the selected site.
Once the desired temperature is selected, press the POWER
button (the unit will beep) to activate the thermometer.This is the
CD display test, which insures all parts of the display are func-
tioning properly.
The last measured temperature with an “m” will appear. If there
is no previous measurement, “ o” °F(°C) will be displayed.
98.6°F(37.0°C) will briefly appear
Finally, a “ o” with a flashing °F(°C) will appear in the display to
indicate that the thermometer is ready for measurement.
NOTE: If the room temperature is above 89.6°F(32.0°C), the room temperature will
display instead of the o.
General Care
1. The thermometer should only be used under the supervision of an adult.
2. Do not walk, run or talk during temperature taking.
3. Clean the thermometer before and after each use.
4. Store the unit in the protective case when not in use.
5. Do not bite the probe.
6. Do not store the unit where it will be exposed to direct sunlight, dust or humidity.
Avoid extreme temperatures.
7. Dropping or subjecting your thermometer to strong shocks should be avoided.
8. Do not attempt to disassemble the unit, except to replace the battery.
9. If measurement is not attainable, the unit must be replaced.
NOTE: Performance of the device may be degraded if: operated outside of stated
temperature and humidity range; stored outside of stated temperature and humidity
range; thermometer undergoes mechanical shock (drop); patient temperature is
below ambient temperature.
Changing the Battery
The battery in your digital thermometer needs to be replaced when the “ ” sym-
bol appears. Replace the battery with a R41 or equivalent.
To replace the battery,
1. Remove screw and slide the battery cap away from the
unit.
2. Gently pull the battery tray out until it stops. Using a non-
metal pointed tool, carefully remove the battery and insert
the new battery with the positive (+) side facing up.
3. Carefully slide the battery cap back into place, making
sure that the cap fits snugly to protect the battery com-
partment from moisture and replace screw.
NOTE: Please properly dispose of the battery away fro
children and heat.

Taking an Oral Temperature
Approximate measurement time: 20 seconds
1. Using the diagram on the right, place the
probe tip under the tongue as near as
possible to the heat pocket. The diagram
also shows the temperature variables by
not placing the tip in the heat pocket
area.
NOTE: Drinking hot or cold fluids,
exercising, s oking or perfor ing other
activities ay raise or lower your
te perature. Therefore, it is i portant to
relax for approxi ately 5 inutes with your
outh closed prior to taking a reading.
2. The current temperature is shown and the °F (°C) will continue to flash during the
reading.
3.
When the peak temperature has been reached, the oF(°C) will stop flash-
ing and the thermometer will sound ten long beeps if the temperature is
below 100oF(37.8°C). If the temperature is above 100oF(37.8°C) the unit
will sound ten sets of three short beeps each.
4. To turn the unit off, press the ON/OFF button. The unit will automatically shut off
after approximately nine minutes.
NOTE: The outh ust re ain closed during the easure ent for the ost
accurate reading. Opening the outh could result in an extended easure ent ti e
and ay affect the reading.

Thank you for purchasing a MABIS Digital Thermometer. Please read the following
detailed instructions 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 generally accepted “normal” temperature reading is 98.6°F(37.0°C),
temperature readings can vary from 97°F (36.1°C) to 99°F (37.2°C) and still may be
considered “normal”. Variations in temperature can be attributed to activities such as
exercise, smoking, eating and drinking. Even time of day may influence your tem-
perature. For example, your temperature is lower in the morning than in the after-
noon. Other variations may be due to the location of the temperature
reading. While the oral temperature follows the guidelines previously described, a
rectal temperature is generally 1.0°F(0.5°C) higher. Conversely, an axillary (under
the arm) temperature will be 1.0°F (0.5°C) lower.
Features of your MABIS Digital Thermometer
Taking an Axillary Temperature (under the arm)
Approximate measurement time: 30 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 affected by the room’s air.
4.
When the peak temperature has been reached, the oF(°C) will stop flash-
ing and the thermometer will sound ten long beeps if the temperature is
below 100oF(37.8°C). If the temperature is above 100oF(37.8°C) the unit
will sound ten sets of three short beeps each.
5. To turn the unit off, press the ON/OFF button. The unit will automatically shut off
after approximately nine minutes.
NOTE: Axillary te peratures are generally 1.0°F (0.5°C) lower than oral readings.
Taking a Rectal Temperature
Approximate measurement time: 15 seconds
NOTE: Rectal te peratures are an appropriate and reliable ethod for infants and
s all children. Otherwise, this ethod should only be used when it is i possible or
ipractical to take an oral or axillary te perature.
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 oF(°C) will stop flash-
ing and the thermometer will sound ten long beeps if the temperature is
below 100oF(37.8°C). If the temperature is above 100oF(37.8°C) the unit
will sound ten sets of three short beeps each.
4. To turn the unit off, press the ON/OFF button. The unit will automatically shut off
after approximately nine minutes.
NOTE: Rectal te peratures are generally 1.0°F(0.5°C) higher than oral readings.
Using Disposable Probe Covers
It is recommended to use the enclosed disposable probe covers to prevent cross
contamination. Additional probe covers can be purchased from your MABIS Dealer
