Direct Mode
1. The FILAC 3000 electronic thermometer normally operates in Predictive Mode to
provide fast and accurate temperature measurements. However, in instances when
no measurement site is detected or the temperature does not stabilize, the
thermometer will automatically switch to Direct Mode and act as a temperature
monitor.
2. Additionally, the FILAC 3000 electronic thermometer will automatically switch into
Direct Mode if the ambient temperature is greater than 35°C (95°F).
3. The FILAC 3000 electronic thermometer can be set to operate exclusively in Direct
Mode (disable Predictive Mode). See instructions within the Bio-Tech Mode section
for information on how to lock Direct Mode on.
4. A turtle icon will be continuously displayed whenever the thermometer is functioning
in Direct Mode.
5. To change between Celsius and Fahrenheit scales, press and release the °C/°F
button. Press and release again as needed.
6. An Up or Down arrow will appear on the display whenever the current temperature
reading is out of range, either High or Low, respectively.
7. The Direct Mode auto feature is always functional regardless of Red or Blue isolation
chamber/ probe.
8.
A “long beep” is sounded when measurement is complete and the final temperature is
displayed.
9. After returning the probe to the probe well, the temperature is stored for recall until
the probe is once again withdrawn. If the probe is returned to the probe well before
the “long beep” is heard, no temperature will be stored for the recall function.
Quick Mode (Oral Only)
1. Quick Mode is an oral predictive measurement mode intended for situations where
fast temperature measurements are desired.
2.
Quick Mode allows clinicians to rapidly identify patients with “normal” body
temperatures. If the patient temperature is outside of the “normal” range, the FILAC
3000 electronic thermometer will automatically switch into its standard predictive
mode to provide a more accurate reading.
3. Quick Mode is indicated by a rabbit icon on the display. See instructions within the
Bio-Tech Mode section for information on how turn this feature ON or OFF.
4. Quick Mode is not available when in Cold Mode or in Direct Mode.
Cold Mode
1. Cold Mode is provided for use in applications where body temperatures may be lower
than “normal”, such as for patients recently out of surgery.
2. See instructions within the Bio-Tech Mode section for information on how turn this
feature ON or OFF.
3. When selected, as indicated by the snowflake on the display, the probe preheats to
33°C (91°F).
4. The accuracy and measurement time of Cold Mode measurements are equivalent to
standard prediction measurements at the respective body sites.
Recall Last Temperature
1.
After each temperature measurement, a “long beep” is heard. The “beep” indicates
the temperature measurement has been completed and stored and is available for
recall. This temperature can be recalled after the probe is returned to the probe well.
2. To recall the most recent temperature measurement, press and release

button
on the front panel. The last measurement taken will appear for several seconds.
3. While the recalled measurement is displayed, the user may press and release
