10.4.3 Equivalence Mode Temperature
The thermometer can measure the ear temperature and acquire the equivalence
temperature.
A patient’s temperature at the site of mouth or rectum would be slightly different from
the ear temperature. The thermometer compensates for the average difference in
temperature at each of these sites by adjusting the displayed temperature.
A checker/calibrator is available for this device. The device should be checked if it is
dropped or if it is stored at less than -25 °C or above 55 °C.
NOTE
•
Only the authorized personnel can adjust the data for Genius3 thermometer
equivalence modes.
