Section VI — Preventative Maintenance
Functional checks must be performed by technicians trained by Tyco Healthcare/Kendall and based on the procedure in the GENIUS
2 Infrared Tympanic Electronic Thermometer Checker Operation Manual. Contact your Tyco Healthcare/Kendall representative for
details. Tyco Healthcare/Kendall recommends functional checks at 12 month intervals. Harsh use or environmental conditions may
require reduced functional check intervals at some facilities. If the unit is dropped or abused, check the unit prior to next use.
Section VII — Cleaning
• The GENIUS 2 Thermometer body may be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Water temperature should not exceed 55°C (130°F).
Do not soak, rinse, or submerge the GENIUS 2 Thermometer under water.
• The probe tip can be cleaned with a lint free swab. If the probe tip becomes soiled, it can be cleaned with a dampened swab. After
the foreign matter has been removed, the window at the end of the probe tip should be cleaned with a lint free swab or lens wipe.
The thermometer lens must be free from fingerprints and/or smudges for proper operation.
• A mild detergent may be added to the water. Do not use cleaners such as Spray-Nine™*, Phisohex™*, Hibiclens™*, or
Vesta-Syde™* disinfectants, as they may result in damage to the thermometer case.
• Occasional use of a 10:1 water and hypochlorite mixture or a damp isopropyl alcohol wipe or Cidex™* or ManuKlenz™* or VIROX™*
or CaviWipes™* cleansing agents is acceptable. However, prolonged or repeated use of these chemicals may result in damage to
the thermometer case and display area.
• Use of a cloth or sponge is recommended for cleaning. Never use an abrasive pad or an abrasive cleaner on the GENIUS 2 Thermometer.

Section VIII — Battery Replacement
The GENIUS 2 Infrared Tympanic Electronic Thermometer batteries should be replaced when the low battery icon is shown on the LCD
display. After the low battery icon is displayed, the user will be able to take approximately 100 temperatures before the dead battery
icon is displayed and the unit will not allow a temperature to be taken. To replace the batteries, access the battery compartment by
unscrewing the battery door that retains the battery cover. Note the polarity of the installed batteries. Remove the old batteries and
install fresh batteries, ensuring the correct polarity. Reinstall the battery cover and secure it with the screw.
Section IX — Mounting Instructions
If using the wall or cart mount options (sold separately) for the base unit, consult the installation sheet provided with the respective system.
