Section VI — Preventative Maintenance
Functional checks must be performed by technicians and based on the procedure in the Infrared Tympanic
Electronic Thermometer Checker Operation Manual. Contact your PSS World Medical, Inc. representative for
details. PSS World Medical, Inc. 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 Infrared Tympanic Electronic 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 Infrared Tympanic Electronic 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
Infrared Tympanic Electronic Thermometer.
• The thermometer is non-sterile. Do not use ethylene oxide gas, heat, autoclave, or any other harsh method to sterilize
this thermometer.
• Allow sufficient time for drying before attempting to use the thermometer.
Section VIII — Battery Replacement
The 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.
