BD Basal Digital Thermometer:
Basal Body Temperature is the normal temperature of a healthy person immediately upon awakening in the morning. In women, this temperature normally rises after ovulation due to hormonal changes. A temperature increase near the middle of your menstrual cycle can indicate ovulation has occurred.
Tips for using your BD Digital Thermometer
Your BD Digital Thermometer is a durable and precise medical device. Here are some helpful hints to help you get the best performance from the product.
1-In oral use, as with all thermometers, KEEP THERMOMETER IN PLACE WITHOUT SHIFTING IT IN THE MOUTH while taking temperature.
2-STAY WITH YOUR CHILD DURING TEMPERATURE TAKING to help assure proper use of the thermometer.
TAKE TEMPERATURE BY ORAL, UNDERARM (AXILLARY) OR RECTAL METHOD.
Oral Method:
Place thermometer probe under tongue. Hold the thermometer in the same spot under your tongue with your mouth closed.
Underarm (Axillary) Method:
(Alternative method for babies or very young children. Although simpler, the axillary method is less accurate and takes longer.) Make sure the underarm is dry and there is no material between the chest and arm. Point the thermometer upward and place the tip well into the patient's underarm. Fold patient's arm over chest to hold the thermometer in place and keep air away from the underarm. Many people find hugging the child while taking the temperature helps assure it is taken correctly and also comforts the child. When using this method, hold the thermometer securely in place for 4 minutes (ignore beeps).
Rectal Method:
(Recommended for babies or very young children who breathe through their mouth). Lubricate the tip of the thermometer with a water soluble jelly such as K-Y® Jelly. Do not use petroleum jelly. The patient should lie on his/her side, knees slightly bent. If the patient is a baby, place the infant on its stomach with legs hanging down, either across your knees or at the edge of a bed or changing table. This positions the baby's rectum properly for safe and easy insertion of the thermometer. With one hand, gently slide the tip of the thermometer no more than 1/2 inch into the rectum. If you detect resistance of any kind, STOP. Hold thermometer in place during temperature measurement. Once used rectally, the thermometer should not be used orally, for sanitary reasons.
Cleaning Instructions:
Wash the area extending about 2" from the tip of the thermometer with warm (not hot) soapy water before and after each use; be sure to dry thermometer thoroughly.
OR...
Wipe the area described above with 70% isopropyl alcohol before and after each use. BD Alcohol Swabs are a convenient and hygienic way of cleaning the thermometer. Even if you use a BD Digital Thermometer Probe Cover, follow either of the above two cleaning procedures as an extra precaution.
