Temperature Monitoring
The Prism and Prism SE can accommodate a variety of continuous temperature probes, as well as
MDE SureTemp oral/axillary and rectal fast temperature probes. The unit automatically senses
and configures the monitor for the probe type that it detects.
MDE SureTemp temperature measurements can be accomplished in either “normal” or “monitor”
modes. In normal mode, the thermometer “predicts” body temperature in about 4 seconds for oral
readings and 15 seconds for rectal. When in monitor mode, the thermometer measures body
temperature in about 3 minutes, and will continue for as long as the probe remains in place (this is
the only available mode for axillary temperatures).
Measuring a Patient’s Temperature with Continuous Probes
1. Connect the temperature probe to monitor.
2. Press the softkey below the TMP1 or TMP2 label to access setup functions, if necessary.
Note that if your monitor is equipped with both continuous and SureTemp capability,
SureTemp is configured for TMP1.

Measuring a Patient’s Temperature with SureTemp
®
A temperature methodology that allows predictive or monitored temperatures. Blue top probe is
used for oral or axillary modes with red top probe for rectal temperatures. Only Welch Allyn™
manufactured probe covers are to be used for this device. Probe covers by other manufacturers
cause inaccurate results.
1. Open the SURETEMP menu by pressing the softkey next to the TMP 1 label. Note current
MODE and SITE. Pressing the softkeys allows changes to these settings.

NOTE: If TMP1 label is not present on monitor screen, remove probe
from probe well and reinsert probe into probe well to display TMP1
label.
2. Once the TMP1 label appears, and MODE and SITE are established as described in Step 1,
remove probe from well and place probe cover onto probe. The message on screen is
