Maximum probe temperature
The table below indicates the maximum probe temperature.
NOTE: Measurement uncertainty and probe variation: 2 °C.
NOTE: Lens temperature measured under following conditions per EN/
IEC 60601-2-37:
• Thermocouple was placed at the geometric center of the
lens.
• Thermal phantom at 33 °C (or 23 °C) for external probes.
(Temperature rise is measured and added to 33 °C if the
phantom is at 23 °C).
NOTE: Thermal phantom made with tissue-mimicking material as
referenced in EN/IEC 60601-2-37.
• Probe placed upright in contact with above thermal
phantom.
• Auto-freeze capability is disabled.
• Lens temperature is monitored for 30 minutes.
