I. About Body Temperature It is a common myth that 98.6°F (37°C) is the “normal body temperature.” The truth is that 98.6°F (37°C) is an average body temperature. Normal body temperature is actually a range that varies with age, gender, and measurement site. Body temperatures also fluctuate through out the day, typically cooler temperatures in the morning, warmer in the afternoon, and cooling down again in the evening.

Also, never switch probes between blue and red isolation chambers. Keep like colors together.) 3. Remove probe from the probe well. This automatically turns on the thermometer. 4.
Oral & Axillary Temperature Taking 1. Make certain that the Blue isolation chamber/probe unit is attached. 2. Withdraw probe and apply a probe cover. The thermometer turns on automatically. 3. An icon identifying Oral or Axillary mode is displayed. The Rectal icon can not be displayed when a blue isolation chamber/probe is attached. 4. Press the Site button on the front panel to select either the Oral or Axillary mode. 5.
Direct Mode 1. The Filac 3000 EZ/EZA Electronic Thermometer normally operates in Predictive mode for accurate temperature measuring. In certain cases, such as with a hypothermic patient, the thermometer will automatically shift to Direct (slow) mode and will then act as a temperature monitor. 2. The Filac 3000 EZ/EZA Electronic Thermometer can be set to operate exclusively in Direct mode (disable Predictive mode).
VII. Battery Replacement / Installation 1. To access the batteries, remove the isolation chamber by depressing the tabs on the sides of the unit and slide off upwardly. 2. Pull back on the finger tab on the top of the battery door. The battery door should hinge open to expose the batteries. 3.
