Section I — Introduction This operator’s manual was prepared for the operator of the Infrared Tympanic Electronic Thermometer. This manual contains instructions for use, precautions, and available maintenance and service information. To achieve satisfactory results, the operator must read this manual thoroughly before attempting to use the thermometer. Initial Set Up • U npack the Infrared Tympanic Electronic Thermometer and examine it for structural integrity.
• A lways install a new probe cover prior to taking a temperature. The probe cover membrane should be smooth with no holes, tears, or wrinkles. • T he thermometer was designed to be used only with Infrared Tympanic Electronic Thermometer probe covers. Use of probe covers manufactured by any company other than Lumeon may result in erroneous readings. • E nsure that the probe tip seals the ear canal prior to taking a temperature. Failing to seal the ear canal will result in a loss of accuracy.
The Infrared Tympanic Electronic Thermometer is a reliable and accurate temperature-taking device. The reason for the accuracy of the Infrared Tympanic Electronic Thermometer is the design, controlled calibration methods and stringent manufacturing controls. One of the most critical functional parts of a thermometer is the probe cover. The Infrared Tympanic Electronic Thermometer probe cover, when placed on a Infrared Tympanic Electronic Thermometer, serves as an infection control barrier between the patient and the device and the medium for heat transmission from the patient to the thermometer.
Ear: In ear (EAR) mode, the display will indicate the absolute temperature without adjustment. Oral: In oral (ORL) mode, the tympanic temperature is adjusted to display an oral temperature equivalent. Oral Mode = Ear Mode + 0.60°C. Axillary: In axillary (AX) mode, the tympanic temperature is adjusted to display an axillary temperature equivalent. Axillary Mode = Ear Mode + 0.04°C. ** In neonates the axillary equivalence is recommended because it is the current standard in neonates. Core: In core (CORE) mode, the tympanic temperature is adjusted to display the core temperature equivalent. Core Mode = Ear Mode + 1.04°C. Rectal: In rectal (REC) mode, the tympanic temperature is adjusted to display the rectal temperature equivalent. Rectal Mode = Ear Mode + 1.16°C.
5. Place the probe in the ear canal and seal the opening with the probe tip. For consistent results, ensure that the probe shaft is aligned with the ear canal. 6. Press and release the scan button. 7. Remove the probe from the ear as soon as the triple beep is heard. 8.
Pulse Timer Mode Press and hold the timer button to enter Timer mode. Press again to start the timer. The timer will run from 0 to 60 seconds. The thermometer will issue a single beep at 15 seconds, a dual beep at 30 seconds, a triple beep at 45 seconds, and four beeps at 60 seconds. Press the timer button at any point during the timer function to return the thermometer to “off“ mode. At the end of the 60 seconds, the thermometer will wait two seconds and then enter sleep mode. Return the thermometer to base for storage. Thermometer Display Icons and Alarms Thermometer operation is communicated to the user via the LCD display and an audible device contained inside the thermometer case.
If the display shows a system error 4 and the system error icon, the ambient conditions are changing too rapidly for the device to be used. Allow the device to equilibrate for 20 minutes before using. If the display shows any other system error, then reset the thermometer by installing a probe cover. If the system error does not clear, then contact the factory for available service options.

Site text Pressing the °C/°F button when in this mode turns the body site text labels on or off. The labels will remain on when an “X” appears inside the box icon, and the text will remain off when the box is empty. CORE Section VI — Preventative Maintenance Functional checks must be performed by technicians and based on the procedure in the Infrared Tympanic Electronic Thermometer Checker Operation Manual. Contact your PSS World Medical, Inc. representative for details. PSS World Medical, Inc. recommends functional checks at 12 month intervals. Harsh use or environmental conditions may require reduced functional check intervals at some facilities. If the unit is dropped or abused, check the unit prior to next use.
Section IX — Mounting Instructions If using the wall or cart mount options (sold separately) for the base unit, consult the installation sheet provided with the respective system. Section X — Troubleshooting If the Infrared Tympanic Electronic Thermometer is not functioning properly, check the following items: Symptom Action Temperature reading unusually high Check the probe cover for tears or gaps Temperature reading unusually low Check the probe cover and thermometer tip for obstructions.
