8. Using ADView 2 for Temperature Measurement
The ADView 2 has several options for measuring a patient’s body temperature.
Covidien Filac 3000 Thermometry Module
Your device may come equipped with a Covidien Filac 3000 digital thermometer capable of taking an oral, axillary
(under arm) or rectal temperature reading. Your thermometer should come with a blue isolation chamber/probe unit
for taking oral and axillary temperature or with a red isolation chamber/probe unit for taking rectal temperature.
NOTE: Always apply a new probe cover before taking temperature. Do not reuse probe cover. Use only probe covers
designed for use with Filac 3000 probes. Using the incorrect probe cover can severely damage the probe and cause
measurement inaccuracies.
NOTE: To change between Celsius and Fahrenheit, press the °C/°F button on the temperature module. Press again as
needed.
NOTE: After removing the probe from the isolation chamber, the Install/Remove Probe Cover icon
will flash to
remind you to apply a new probe cover. A new probe cover must be applied in order to take a measurement.
After you withdraw the probe from the isolation chamber and apply a probe cover, the thermometer begins working
automatically. You will see the Human Thermometry Mode icon illuminated on your display with the appropriate
arrow illuminated (e.g., pointing to the mouth on right side of head for oral temperature taking). Press the Site button
on your thermometer unit to switch between Oral and Axillary mode.
Oral Temperature Taking
Insert the probe tip under the tongue on one side or the other. Ask the patient to close his mouth. Hold the probe in
place until there is a long beep and the temperature reading displays.
