Infrared Thermal Thermometer
Device Model Tytron / Series C-5000
Classification Name: Powered direct-contact temperature measurement device
Common/Usual Name: Computer Aided Paraspinal Thermographic Scanning System
Classification: FDA - Class II (USA)
Model:
TyTron
degree C
Series:
C-5000
Odometer +/- 0.25 CM
Useful Life:
7 years mfg. listing.
Product Description/Intended Use:
The C-5000 is a paraspinal infrared temperature recorder (K974208) indicated for use in
detecting, measuring, recording, and graphing the skin surface temperature on both sides
of the spine of adults and children by chiropractors. It is to be used before and after
therapy is rendered as part of monitoring the patients response to care, similar to a
common thermometer.
The TyTron series of scanners (C-5000 USB replaces the earlier serial connected
instruments) - differed only in the communication mode to the host computer. They
directly enter the patients thermographic information into a computer. A built-in distance
measuring encoder removes any risk of the operator's inability to control a uniform speed
at which the back scan is performed. The scan is initiated at S1 for a full spine graph and
C1 for a cervical graph. The end point of the scan is established by the probe tips
"bumping" into the occipital shelf. All graphs are than precisely aligned from that end
point down, yielding an accurate, repeatable rendering of the thermal "picture" at that
point in time of the patient's paraspinal area.
The system is capable of recording and graphing thermal differentials (right to left
thermal asymmetries) as displayed on the computer's monitor. It also records actual skin
temperature on the right and left sides of the spine.
The sensors are housed in a solid block of aluminum in order to maintain peak efficiency
and thermal stability throughout each scan. The focusing barrels are isolated from the
patient by their plastic contoured tips. Accurate temperature readings can be taken up to
1 inch away from the skin's surface.
