What should I know about the instrument?

•TAT-5000 can be used with either disposable caps or full sheath. Can be used without disposables

if terminally cleaned between patients.

•Can be cleaned with any hospital approved disinfectant, alcohol, and even bleach solutions. Use only alcohol solution for sensor lens.

•”bAtt” on the display indicates a low battery. Replace with a 9-volt alkaline battery.

•Probe lens should be shiny clean. If not, wipe with an alcohol prep or Q- tip dipped in alcohol. Occassionally follow with a damp wipe of water to remove any alcohol residue buildup.

•A low or high reading outside body temperature range is indicative of the instrument’s failsafe mode, signifying a mechanical failure.

•Can be used in either ºC or ºF.
