Optional Disposable Covers

The use of disposable covers with the DT-1001 LT is optional, depend- ing on the requirements of the application. Recommended guidelines are as follows:

Use With Disposable Cover

For absolute accuracy, minimizing the effects of emissivity and evaporative cooling, contact with the measurement site is recom- mended. Accordingly, when direct contact is employed, use of a disposable probe cover is recommended.

When touching moist tissue, use of a disposable cover is required specifically to avoid a lower temperature from the effects of evapo- rative cooling, and to protect against the risk of cross contamina- tion.

Use Without Disposable Cover

If the measurement site is dry, direct contact can confidently be made without the use of a disposable cover. When the site is dry and the precise temperature is not a prerequisite, the measure- ment can be made without even contacting the skin. The probe can be cleaned with any hospital approved disinfectant, even bleach solution.
