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
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.
