Cleaning the Instrument

 

•

Probe lens and cone should be shiny 
clean, if not, wipe with an alcohol prep, or 
with a swab moistened in alcohol or water.    

 

•

Hold upside-down to prevent excess 
moisture from entering the sensor area.  It 
will not harm the sensor, but if it becomes 
too wet, you will be unable to take a 
temperature until it dries. 

•

Thermometer case can be cleaned with 
any hospital approved disinfectant, alcohol, 
even bleach solutions.   Avoid gritty, 
abrasive cleaners as they can scratch the 
thermometer.   

•

Do not hold the TemporalScanner under 
the faucet or submerge in water.  It is not 
waterproof.  

 

The TemporalScanner is an optical instrument.  Like a camera or 
eye glasses, a dirty lens will distort the view.  If the thermometer is 
unable to see the heat clearly, it will be unable to  measure it ac-
curately, resulting in low readings.
