SureTemp® Plus Offers More Accurate Thermometry Readings

San Diego, Calif., USA, -- Welch Allyn, a leading global manufacturer of frontline medical products and solutions, today introduced two new electronic thermometers. The new SureTemp® Plus 690 and 692, both offer more accurate oral, axillary, and rectal temperature readings on patients of all ages and have an easy-to-read LCD display with icons that clearly communicate information to users regardless of language. An improved user interface and ergonomic shape with rubber grips makes taking fast, reliable temperatures more convenient. Interchangeable, self-contained oral/axillary and rectal probe wells and probes reduce the risk of cross-contamination and provide for easy cleaning.

"Both the SureTemp Plus 690 and 692 are flexible and fast and have the most advanced technology available," Whitney Bouma, product manager, said. "Whether a medical professional needs durability for the office or security features for a hospital, this thermometer works to ensure the most accurate temperature readings."

One of the fastest thermometers ever developed for adults and children alike, the SureTemp Plus 690 is an affordable electronic vital signs device that can withstand the constant use in a medical practice. The lightweight SureTemp Plus 690 features a recall button to capture the last temperature reading in an instant. It also has a convenient storage space for 25 probe covers and an optional wall mount that holds an additional 50 probe covers.

While the SureTemp Plus 690 is ideal for the office based medical practitioner, the 692 model features several security enhancements, such as a programmable location ID indicator on the LCD display, that discourage theft in a more volatile hospital environment. The lightweight SureTemp Plus 692 is decisively accurate and naturally intuitive. Its easy-to-read LCD display and ergonomic shape make it one of the fastest available today - providing 4-second oral, 10-second pediatric axillary and rectal, and 15-second adult axillary measurements.
