Section 1 —Introduction
Should the sensed temperature be between 80.0 and 94.0°F at the
end of the thirty second interval, a Low Priority alarm sounds and a
TEMP:CONTACT
message appears in the LCD message screen.
This message implies non-contact with human tissue.
Continuous Mode
In Continuous Mode, the thermometer continuously measures the
patient's temperature as it rises or falls. This method is not predictive
and does not pre-heat the probe prior to attempting a measurement.
The temperature displayed is the probe temperature. The probe must
be allowed time to attain a stable temperature using the same
technique as a mercury thermometer.
After proper probe cover installation and application of the
temperature probe in either the oral, axillary, or rectal cavity, the
temperature measurement begins. The temperature display shows
the current probe temperature readings, along with an F or C. As the
patient's temperature rises or falls, the display changes accordingly.
All temperature site LEDs are turned off in Continuous Mode. All
displayed measurements are considered to be unstable.
Axillary Measurements
The
TurboTemp
thermometer measures axillary (arm pit) temperature
using the continuous operating mode. The temperature site LED will
flash indicating that the displayed temperature must be observed over
time to determine a stable measurement.
Clinical Testing
and Accuracy
Predictive thermometry measures temperature at discrete intervals
and then calculates the rate of change according to a proven
algorithm.
The
FILAC FasTemp
electronic thermometer in its predictive mode
has been tested to comply with EN 12470-3 and ASTM E1112:98.
The FILAC FasTemp meets these standards in predictive mode to
provide highly accurate predictive measurements. When patient
fevers (at or above 37.6 °C/99.7 °F) are encountered by FILAC
FasTemp, measurement time may exceed 20 seconds in order to
achieve the accuracy necessary for those conditions.
The
Alaris
TurboTemp
electronic thermometer has been tested to the
accuracy of ±0.1 °C (±0.2 °F) in the continuous operation mode using
a calibrated water bath. The accuracy range of 98.0 °F to 102.0 °F
meets the range specified in ASTM specification #1112, Table 1.
