Setup and Installation

Follow these steps to properly install a probe cover onto your Welch Allyn Thermoscan ear thermometer:

1. Unpack the Dispenser Box: Open the main dispenser box. It contains 10 smaller boxes, each holding 20 probe covers.
2. Access a Single Box: Remove one of the smaller 20-count boxes from the dispenser.
3. Prepare the Thermometer: Ensure your Welch Allyn Thermoscan ear thermometer is clean and ready for use.
4. Attach a Probe Cover: The individual probe cover boxes are designed for easy, hygienic attachment. Without touching the probe cover directly, gently insert the thermometer's probe tip into the opening of the probe cover box. The cover will snap securely onto the probe tip.
5. Verify Attachment: Confirm that the probe cover is fully and securely seated on the thermometer's probe tip. It should fit snugly without any gaps.

Important: Always use a new, undamaged probe cover for each measurement to ensure accuracy and prevent cross-contamination.

Operating Instructions

Once a probe cover is correctly installed, the thermometer is ready for use. Refer to your specific Welch Allyn Thermoscan ear thermometer's instruction manual for detailed operating procedures. The probe cover facilitates hygienic temperature measurement by providing a barrier between the patient and the thermometer probe.

• Ensure the probe cover is clean and free from damage before use.
• After taking a temperature reading, remove and discard the used probe cover immediately.
• Do not reuse probe covers.

Maintenance and Storage

Disposal of Used Probe Covers:

After each use, remove the probe cover from the thermometer and dispose of it in a waste receptacle. Probe covers are single-use items and should not be cleaned or sterilized for reuse.

Storage of New Probe Covers:

Store new, unused probe covers in their original dispenser box in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keep them out of reach of children.

Troubleshooting

• Probe Cover Does Not Fit: Ensure you are using genuine Welch Allyn Thermoscan PRO series probe covers. These covers are specifically designed for Welch Allyn Thermoscan PRO 6000, 4000, and 4250 series thermometers. If the cover still does not fit, check for any damage to the cover or the thermometer probe.
• Inaccurate Readings: If you suspect inaccurate readings, first ensure a new, undamaged probe cover is correctly installed. Also, verify that the thermometer itself is functioning correctly according to its own manual.
• Damaged Covers: Do not use probe covers that appear torn, punctured, or otherwise damaged. Discard them and use a new one.
