START button. Then press the MODE and MEM buttons on the thermometer simultaneously for 3-4 seconds. The SunTech Touchless Thermometer can also be used to measure the temperature of an object, such as a vessel containing liquid, or food. To use Object Mode, ensure that the thermometer is turned on by pressing the START button.
Validating Patient ID with EMR Scan the patient’s barcode ID with your barcode scanner. If your SunTech CT40 is connected to an EMR, a verification query will automatically be sent to the EMR to confirm the validity of the patient ID. If the EMR responds that the patient ID is valid, then the patient ID icon, field values and Check Icon will flash four times.
NOTE: The Patient ID must be validated by the EMR before any vital signs measurements can be sent to the EMR. Sending Measurements to EMR Sending measurements to an EMR will work only if your SunTech CT40 has been configured to connect to an EMR. After scanning a valid Patient ID, and taking vital signs measurements, press the Memory Button .
Remove all tape residues. Allow the sensor and thermometer to dry thoroughly before reusing. Preventative Maintenance System Self Checks The SunTech CT40 performs a range of system checks during normal operation. If the device detects a problem, it will display an error code. Replaceable Parts On a routine basis, inspect the monitor, cuffs and hoses for cracks, fraying, or kinks.
If a biomedical technician performs this function, they should contact SunTech Medical for instructions to access “Verify Calibration”. Instructions are also available in the SunTech CT40 service manual (SunTech Part 80-0068-XX- SM). For customers in the Americas: SunTech Medical, Inc.

13. Frequently Asked Questions What is the expected battery life for the SunTech CT40? When batteries are fully charged, the SunTech CT40 is designed to run on internal battery power for 120 measurement cycles (BP, temperature and SpO measurements) before requiring recharge. When only the bottom segment of the battery symbol is illuminated, there is between 11 percent and 40 percent battery power remaining.
Can pulse oximetry, temperature measurement, a barcode scanner or printer be added later too? Yes, you can add vital signs modules and accessories to the SunTech CT40 at any time. Can EMR connectivity be established at a later date if not enabled as part of initial configuration? Yes, EMR settings can be accessed via the Advanced Configuration Application at any time.

To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the CT40 is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the CT40 should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as re-orienting or relocating the CT40.
