Perform the Thermal Probe Check
Use the procedure below to check the thermal probes on each instrument twice a year.
Note: Please refer to the Manufacturer's Quality System Instructions (MQSI) for
additional information.
1. If the instrument and Electronic Simulator have been stored separately in areas where the ambient
temperature differs by more than 3°C or 5°F, allow the Simulator and instrument to equilibrate to the
same temperature, out of drafts, for 30 minutes before inserting the Simulator into the instrument.
Minimize handling the Simulator to maintain its thermal uniformity and stability.
2. From the Home screen, touch More Options > Quality Options > Perform Electronic Simulator Test
and then follow the screen prompts.
3. Remove the cap from the end of the Electronic Simulator and insert the Electronic Simulator into the
instrument.
4. When results are displayed, the difference between the thermal probes can be viewed on the
instrument’s screen by touching the View Entered Info tab on the right side of the screen.
5. Interpret the thermal probe check value:
•
Acceptable: PASS
•
Not acceptable: FAIL message with a Quality Check Failure Code. Repeat the procedure to confirm
results. If the repeat test fails contact Technical Support.
