Disposable probe caps (134205) are the workhorse of infection control here — a fresh cap between patients protects the sensor lens and prevents cross-contamination, so they're worth stocking in volume. For mounting, choose between a wall-mounted cradle (134201) for fixed exam rooms, a keyless locking holder with integrated cap dispenser (134306) that keeps caps within reach, or the five-legged Roll-A-Bout rolling stand (134302) when the thermometer needs to travel between beds.

Security cables come in several configurations to match your setup: coiled 8-foot latex-free cable (124311), vinyl-covered steel in 6-foot (134302) and 8-foot (134030) lengths with field attachment, and a lock-and-key twisted-steel option (134105) for high-traffic areas.

Not sure which accessory pairs with your holder? Cap style is universal across the TAT-5000 series, but mounts and cables are matched to specific holders — check the model number against your existing hardware before ordering, or start with the instrument-plus-holder pairing if you're outfitting a new room.
