How many times can I use the same probe cover?
Use a new cover for each measurement. The cover gets dirty during a measurement and successive measurements will lack accuracy. A dirty probe cover can grow germs that can be passed to the next user. Repeated use of the same probe cover results in a loose fitting cover, leading to inaccurate measurements.
