Care and Maintenance

Handling

Your DermaTemp is designed and built to industrial durability stan- dards in order to provide long and trouble-free service. However, it is also a high precision optical instrument, and should be ac- corded the same degree of care in handling as you would provide other precision optical instruments, such as cameras or otoscopes.

Calibration

Factory calibration data is installed via a computer through an op- tical link with the microprocessor. The instrument automatically self-calibrates each time it is turned on using this data, and will never require recalibration. If readings are not correct, the instru- ment should be returned for repair.

Cleaning

The DermaTemp can be gas or plasma sterilized, or wiped down with any hospital approved disinfectant, even bleach. With nor- mal use, the only maintenance required is to keep the lens on the end of the probe clean. It is made of special mirror-like, infrared- transmitting material called Germanium.

Dirt, greasy films or moisture on the lens will interfere with the passage of infrared heat and affect the accuracy of the instru- ment. If necessary, clean the lens with an alcohol prep or a cotton swab dipped in alcohol. Periodic cleaning is a good practice.

Self Diagnostics

Continuous Single Beeping

The high performance DermaTemp continuously monitors its abil- ity to produce accurate temperature readings. If either the target’s temperature or the unit’s ambient temperature exceeds the opera- tional limits, the beeper will sound once per second and the LED display will default to a display message.

When the target temperature is outside of the instrument’s oper- ating range, the unit will display either HI or LO and will beep con- tinuously at one beep per second. When the instrument’s own temperature is outside operating limits for ambient temperature, the display will show either HI A or LO A, and will beep continu- ously at one beep per second.

DT 1001-LN, DT 1001-RS, DT 1001, DT 1001-LT specifications

The Exergen DT 1001 series, consisting of the DT 1001-LN, DT 1001, DT 1001-RS, and DT 1001-LT, represents a cutting-edge advancement in non-invasive infrared thermometry technology. These models are designed for accurate and reliable temperature measurement across various settings, making them invaluable tools for healthcare professionals, educators, and individuals monitoring their own health.

A standout feature of the Exergen DT 1001 series is its precision in measuring core body temperature. Utilizing patented infrared technology, these devices detect the thermal radiation emitted by the temporal artery, thus providing an accurate representation of internal body temperature. This non-invasive method is not only safe but also quick, as it can yield results within seconds, making it ideal for both clinical environments and home use.

The DT 1001 series emphasizes ease of use. Equipped with a simple one-button operation, even individuals without technical training can operate the device effectively. The easy-to-read digital display provides clear temperature readings, which can often be coupled with visual and auditory alerts for fever detection, enhancing user experience.

Further enhancing user convenience is the memory function of the DT 1001 series. These models can store multiple readings, allowing users to track temperature trends over time. This feature is particularly useful in monitoring patients with fevers or chronic health issues where regular temperature checks are necessary.

The DT 1001-LN and DT 1001-LT are distinguished by their lightweight and portable design, making them suitable for on-the-go temperature checks. Conversely, the DT 1001-RS is optimized for clinical settings, featuring enhanced durability and robust performance under frequent usage.

Each model has been rigorously validated to meet clinical standards, ensuring that healthcare practitioners can rely on their accuracy. With their advanced technology, user-friendly design, and versatility, the Exergen DT 1001 series stands out as a leading choice in the realm of non-contact thermometers, promoting effective health monitoring for a wide range of users. Their continued popularity highlights a significant trend in modern healthcare towards efficient, precise, and non-invasive diagnostic tools.
