Why Is Welch Allyn Offering a Forehead
Thermometer With NO Disposable PC?
• Forehead measurement is growing at a fast pace in large
markets like the United States (unit growth +12.7% in 12 months,
Exergen sold 29K units with 16% overall HH share)
• Notable install base in hospitals, physician office growing
• Some customers are seeking forehead devices to reduce cost
and/or they prefer ease of access of the forehead body-site
• Lacking a forehead thermometer in the Welch Allyn portfolio,
customers are driven to other companies to purchase devices
• By offering CareTemp WA accomplishes two key things:
– Opportunity to SELL a forehead thermometer from the WA portfolio
– Opportunity to DIRECT the thermometry discussion and sell up to
SureTemp Plus or Braun when appropriate (cross selling of therm line)

Forehead Body Site Considerations
• CareTemp is a new alternative device when speed and convenience is desired to quickly determine if a patient has normal or elevated fever.
• CareTemp is not well suited for critical measurement applications that influence medical treatment decisions (including temperature trending).
• Reliability of the forehead as a body site for precise temperature measurement can be impacted by:
– Prolonged exposure to a warm/cool environment (cooler operating room)
– Forehead perspiration (temporary localized cooling of skin)
– Medications that affect blood dilation/perfusion rate
– Emotional state of the patient (skin flushing from emotion/agitation)
– Thickness of skin tissue over the forehead
– Physiological conditions causing dilation of skin capillaries (menopause, imbalance)
• When high precision is required using alternative body sites, the SureTemp Plus (oral/axillary/rectal and Braun PRO 6000 (tympanic) are better tools.
Setting Up the Thermometer
• Install the AAA batteries (3,300 measurements)
1. Use a small Phillips screwdriver to loosen the battery
cover screw (don’t try to remove the screw from the door).
2. Slide open the battery cover and remove the batteries.
3. Make sure to align the batteries as indicated inside the
battery compartment
4. Replace the battery cover and tighten the cover screw.
• If needed, change the C/F default setting
– From sleep mode press and hold both the MEM and C/F
buttons for 3 seconds to change the default scale. Three
beeps sound to confirm the setting is changed.
Taking a Temperature
1. Press Measure and release to power on the thermometer.
When the device is ready, a single dash appears on the screen
and a beeps sounds.
2. Position the thermometer between 4 and 6 cm from the center
of the patient's forehead, and aim between the eyebrows.
Taking a Temperature
3. Press Measure and release. Slowly move the device toward
or farther from the forehead (starting at 4-6cm). The arrow on
the display flashes until the correct distance is achieved.
4. When the correct distance is reached, the LED bar will
illuminate, three beeps sound, and the measurement is
displayed.
5. To take a second measurement while unit is on, repeat step 3
and 4. The thermometer turns off after 10 seconds of inactivity.
Tips for Forehead Temperatures
• If the eyebrow area is covered with hair, sweat, or dirt, clean the area and wait 10 minutes before taking a measurement. – Sweat can cause a cooling of the forehead and result in a
low temperature reading.
– Common symptom with febrile patients
• Hold the thermometer and the forehead steady during measurement. Movement can impact the measurement.
• After pressing Measure to take a reading the device allows 20 seconds to capture it. If measurement is not completed before the 20 second time limit is up, the device displays Err . Restart the process.
Using Control Buttons
• To recall a measurement, press the Memory button
(Mem) to display the temperature in memory. The
LCD displays the temperature stored for 10 sec.
– Once the thermometer is powered off or a new
measurement is initiated, the last temperature taken
becomes the reading in memory.
• Press C/F to temporarily view the measurement in
the alternate scale. The conversion feature is
available any time a reading is displayed.
• To use the timer, press and release Timer button .
Audible beeps sound at 0, 15, 45, and 60 seconds.
Press the button again to exit at any time up to 60s.
Checking Functional Calibration Accuracy
• A 9600 Plus Calibration Tester “fixture” will
be availability at time of product launch.
• Attaches to a new or existing 9600 Plus
tester and allows testing at all three set
point levels - 36.0°C, 38.5°C or 41.0°C
• A written procedure is being created and
validated and will be added to the 9600
Plus Operating Manual at that time.
• CareTemp will be the ONLY non-contact
thermometer with a method to field check
calibration accuracy!
Cleaning the Thermometer
• IR Sensor Window - slightly moisten a cotton swab or cloth with isopropyl or ethyl alcohol and gently wipe the surface of the lens using a side-to-side (not circular) motion.
• Device Body - Use a pre-moistened wipe or soft cloth slightly moistened with an approved disinfectant to clean and disinfect the thermometer. – See approved list of approved cleaners in Operating Manual
• After cleaning or disinfecting, wait at least 10 minutes before taking another measurement.

FAQ Review
• Is there a protective “cap” for the device?
• Can I use recharging batteries?
• Will the device communicate with Welch Allyn monitors?
• Can the unit be recalibrated if out of calibration?
• If I don’t have a 9600 Plus Calibration Tester, are there other
ways to check device accuracy?
• Do you offer a wall mount and/or security tether?
• WHAT ELSE WILL THEY ASK YOU?
