Exergen Temporal Artery Thermometry
Calibration Verification Procedures
Calibration Verification:
1. Getting started. Turn on the verifier device, making sure the LED is
illuminated. If not, check the battery to assure it is installed correctly. If using
the power supply, simply insert the plug into the power supply jack, and plug
the power supply into any 90 to 264 VAC electrical outlet.
Check the serial numbers of both the Certified Master and the thermometer to
be tested. Both should start with the letter ‘A’ (Arterial) or both with the letter
‘O’ (Oral) indicating that the calibration types are correct. If the serial numbers
do not have matching letter prefix type codes, please contact Exergen.
2. Allow device to stabilize
. Once turned on, allow approximately 5 minutes for
warm-up and stabilization time.
3. Allow both the Certified Master and instruments to be tested to acclimate
to the same ambient temperature
. Allow to equilibrate to room temperature
for at least 10 minutes.
4. Assure lens is clean
. Make sure the lens at the tip of the probe of all
instruments, including the Master Reference, is clean. To clean, use an alcohol
dampened cotton tipped applicator (Q-tip) which is required to get directly on
the lens.
5. Using disposable covers or sheaths
. Do not use disposable covers or sheaths
when checking thermometer calibration with the CVK.
6. Conversion of Master thermometer from F to C: The CM thermometer can
be converted from Fahrenheit to Celsius and back by means of a switch, which
is accessable in the battery compartment.
