NOTE: If the temp probe is returned to the probe well before the “long beep” is heard, no temperature measurement will
be displayed.
NOTE: Be sure to eject the used probe cover into an approved bio-hazard container before attempting to place the probe
back in the isolation chamber.
Other FILAC
®
3000 Temperature Settings
Your device’s FILAC
®
3000 thermometer operates in several different modes.
Quick Mode is an oral predictive measurement mode that provides a fast reading. Quick Mode allows you 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 in order to provide a
more accurate reading. Quick Mode is indicated by a rabbit icon on the display . Quick Mode is not available
when in Cold Mode or in Direct Mode.
The FILAC
®
3000 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 . Additionally, the FILAC
®
3000 electronic thermometer
will automatically switch into Direct Mode if the ambient temperature is greater than 35°C (95°F). If this happens, you
will hear two short beeps and see the Direct Mode turtle icon appear . This icon will be continuously displayed
whenever the thermometer is functioning in Direct Mode. The Direct Mode auto feature is always functional for both
the Red or Blue isolation chamber/probe combinations.
Cold Mode can be selected if a patient’s body temperature is expected to be lower than normal, such as when he is
coming out of surgery. Cold Mode is activated by pressing the Site Selection button and °C/°F button simultaneously
on the temp module. When selected, the Cold Mode snowflake icon is displayed, and the probe will preheat to
33°C (91°F). The accuracy and measurement time of Cold Mode measurements are equivalent to standard prediction
measurements at the respective body sites.
Touchless Thermometry Module*
If your device comes with the optional touchless thermometry module, you can easily and quickly measure the
patient’s temperature using a touchless infrared temporal thermometer. To use, remove the thermometer from the
holster on the side of the SunTech CT40. Touch the thermometer’s START button to turn on the touchless
thermometer.
On your SunTech CT40 display, you will see the Human Thermometry Mode icon selected with the arrow pointing to
the side of the head . Hold the thermometer probe 2 cm to 3 cm from the patient’s temple and press the START
button on the back of the thermometer. The reading is complete when you hear a beep, and the temperature
measurement will appear on your device display. Place the thermometer back in the device holster.
NOTE: Be sure to wipe away any sweat from the area around the temporal artery, and be sure to remove eyeglasses and
push hair away from measurement site before initiating a measurement.
NOTE: The area just behind the ear lobe can be used as an alternative measurement site to the temporal artery.
NOTE: The SunTech Touchless Thermometer should not be used near sources of heat or cold, such as a heater or air
conditioner vent. Also, do not use outdoors. Use this product in a room where the temperature is between 16°C and
40°C (61°F and 104°F).
NOTE: If patients are subject to a significant change in temperature from outside to inside, the patient should be
allowed to acclimate for approximately 15 minutes before using the touchless thermometer.
