Description
The TEMP CHECK is a thermometer used to verify the H-1200 Fluid Warmer's recirculating solution
operating temperature. The TEMP CHECK uses thermistor technology to sense the temperature of the H-

displayed through a liquid crystal display (LCD) using analog technologies. The TEMP CHECK is powered by
the H-1200 Fluid Warmer auxiliary outlet. No batteries are required.
