• Operating environment is from 50˚F to 104˚F (10˚C to 40˚C). • Do not expose to severe environments. Storage temperature is from -4˚F to 140˚F (-20˚C to +60˚C). • Do not use in presence of flammable anaesthetic mixtures.
Figure 2 Figure 3 Body Temperature Measurement About Body Temperature & Fever Body temperature can vary from one person to the next and also varies by location on the body and time of day. Temperatures measured from different sites, even at the same time, should not be directly compared. Fever indicates that body temperature is higher than normal. This may be caused by a number of conditions including infection, overexertion, overdressing or immunization.
Inspect Sensor and remove any debris. Clean if necessary. Remove hair and perspiration from center forehead area. • If patient was lying face down or was wearing a hat or garment covering the skin, allow the forehead to be exposed to the air in the room for 5 minutes prior to taking reading. • Relocate patient if in drafty environment. Aim at center forehead area 1/2” to 2” away from skin surface (1.2 to 5 cm). Be sure thermometer is perpendicular to skin surface (at right angle).
Temperature Recall If Caregiver is powered off (blank display), press POWER. Press MEM button and hold. The date and a number from 1 to 30 will be displayed indicating the temperature number. “01” is the most recently taken temperature and “30” is the oldest. (After 30 temperatures are stored, the oldest will be deleted) Release the MEM button and the “TIME” “Temperature” and MODE of the temperature is displayed. Example: Feb. 13, 2011 at 12:26AM, a 98.6 oF BODY mode temperature was taken.
Room temperature mode measures the temperature of the room in which the thermometer is located. Allow 20 minutes for the thermometer to adjust to abrupt changes in room temperature. Setting SURFACE or ROOM Modes 1. If Caregiver® is powered off (blank display), press POWER. 2. Press and hold MODE for 5 seconds. The currently set Mode (Body, Surface or Room) will flash. 3. Press MODE repeatedly to cycle to the next mode SURFACE/ROOM/BODY. 4.
8. 9. Press SET to change the HOURS and toggle AM/PM. The “hours” digits will flash and “AM” or “PM” will light. Press MODE repeatedly to increase the hours by 1 or press o o C/ F repeatedly to decrease the hours by 1. 10. Press SET to change the MINUTES. The “minutes” digits will flash. 11. Press MODE repeatedly to increase the minutes by 1 or press oC/oF repeatedly to decrease the minutes by 1. 12. Setting of Date and Time is complete.
Troubleshooting - Error Codes Displayed Meaning Code P|11 Suggested Solution Low Battery Replace batteries as soon as practical. Very Low Battery Replace batteries prior to further use. Ambient Temperature too LOW Allow Caregiver® to warm to temperature above 500F (100C). Ambient Temperature too HIGH Allow Caregiver® to cool to temperature below 1040F (400C). Sensor Error or Ambient Temperature Unstable Allow Caregiver® to equilibrate to the current room temperature for 20 minutes.
Calibration Adjustment Mode This mode should be used only by qualified Bio-medical technicians. It will alter the factory calibration of Caregiver®. The displayed temperature in SURFACE mode may be increased or decreased by an amount up to ±2°F maximum in increments of 0.1°F. This will also alter the displayed reading in BODY mode but not necessarily by the same amount. Details on the recommended calibration interval, checking calibration and adjusting calibration are found at www.thermomedics.
