Measurement uncertainty and probe variation: 2.0 °C.
The probe will stop scanning, if exceeding an applied part
surface temperature of 43°C
Lens temperature is measured under conditions per IEC
60601-2-37, Ed2.1
• Thermocouple was placed at the geometric center of the
lens.
• Thermal phantom at not less than 33°C or in the range
20-33°C for external probes. Maximum Vscan Air CL
temperature rise is measured and added to 33°C. Maximum
Vscan Air CL temperature (Simulated use) is <43°C.
• With Vscan Air CL transmitting in air, temperature rise is
measured and added to 23°C. Maximum Vscan Air CL
temperature (Still air) is <50°C. Lens temperature is
monitored for 30 minutes.
Vscan Air CL placed in contact with a thermal phantom
made of tissue-mimicking material is referenced in
IEC60601-2-37, Ed2.1
• Auto-freeze capability is disabled during these
measurements.
