Verification Testing
All Exergen infrared thermometers are designed to permanently maintain their accuracy and
normally recalibration is not required unless the thermometer has been physically damaged
or experiences component failure. In the unlikely event recalibration might be required, the
thermometer must be returned to Exergen for the procedure.
However, calibration can be verified in the lab or clinical units quite easily using Exergen calibration kits.

Resposable/Disposable Covers
Resposable/Disposable covers, meaning they can be used once and discarded, or reused on the
same patient, are available for all levels of cross-contamination protection should they be preferred
for certain patient populations, and are still very cost effective. These options include resposable caps
and full instrument sheaths, the sheaths being mainly used for isolation patients.
Using the Resposable/Disposable Caps:
1.
Apply cap by pushing onto the probe head with fingers.
2. Remove cap by pushing edge forward with thumb.
3. Caps may be reused on the same patient.
Using the Full Instrument Sheaths:
1.
Insert instrument into sheath bottom end first.
If instrument is on a cable, insert probe end first and twist sheath at neck with
fingers to assure film is smooth over probe lens.
2.
Wrap additional film around probe neck.
Film should be smooth over probe lens.
3.
Slide additional film under fingers while using.
Resposable/Disposable Covers can be discarded in normal trash. The operator is responsible for checking the compatibility of
the thermometer, probe cover, and monitoring equipment. Incompatible components can result in degraded performance.
