Using the Thermapen® ONE Blue

Updated

This article explains how to connect and use the ThermoWorks® Thermapen® ONE Blue with Temperature questions in the IntouchCheck app. It covers enabling Bluetooth, connecting the device, capturing a temperature reading, and disconnecting the thermometer when finished.

Before You Begin Performing Your Check

  • Check Organization Settings: Ensure your account administrator has enabled the Bluetooth feature for your organization.

  • Enable Bluetooth: Ensure Bluetooth is toggled ON in your smartphone or tablet system settings.

  • Power On: Ensure your Thermapen® ONE Blue is powered on and within range.

Connect the Thermapen® ONE Blue

  1. Navigate to the relevant checklist.

  2. Open a Temperature question.

  3. Select Connect (this button appears directly below the temperature entry field).

  4. On the connection screen, select the option to Scan for Devices.

    Tip: If the thermometer has been idle, you may need to close and reopen the Thermapen® probe to "wake it up" and ensure it is broadcasting a signal.

Select Your Device

  1. If a device is found, a list of available Thermapen® ONE Blue devices will appear.

  2. Select your specific thermometer from the list (identified by its unique serial number).

  3. If no device is detected:
    - Ensure Bluetooth is enabled, the thermometer is powered on, and the device is within range.
    - Select Scan Again.
    - Ensure the Thermapen® is not currently connected to another app or mobile device.

Capture a Temperature Reading

Once the connection is successful, the app will display a live reading from the thermometer.

  1. Insert the Thermapen® probe into the item being measured.

  2. Monitor the reading on your screen until it stabilizes.

  3. Tap Accept to save the current value into the checklist question.
    Note: The reading will not be saved to your check until you tap Accept. Once accepted, the unit of measure (F/C) will be locked to match the device to ensure data integrity.

  4. Repeat for all temperature questions in the Check.

Disconnect the Device

To end the session or switch to a different thermometer:

  1. Select the Disconnect option within the connection modal.

  2. Confirm the disconnection.
    Note: The device will no longer transmit readings to the checklist until it is reconnected through the steps above.
