Care and Maintenance
• Battery: A standard alkaline 9V battery provides
approximately 15,000 readings. **
To replace, loosen the single screw at the bottom
of the instrument and remove the battery cover.
Disconnect the old battery and replace with a
new one in the same location. Replace the
cover, and tighten the screw. Use only high
quality alkaline batteries or equivalent.
• Handling: The TemporalScanner is designed and built to industrial durability
standards in order to provide long and trouble-free service. However, it is
also a high precision optical instrument, and should be accorded the same
degree of care in handling as you would provide other precision optical
instruments, such as cameras or otoscopes.
• Cleaning the case: The TemoralScanner case can be wiped down with any
hospital approved disinfectant, including bleach.
• Cleaning the sensor lens: With normal use, the only maintenance required
is to keep the lens on the end of the probe clean. It is made of special
mirror-like, coated silicon infrared-transmitting material. However, dirt,
greasy films or moisture on the lens will interfere with the passage of infrared
heat and affect the accuracy of the instrument. Regularly clean the lens with
a cotton swab dipped in alcohol in accordance with the instruction label on
the instrument (see below). Use only light force for cleaning, to avoid
damaging the lens. Water can be used to remove any residual film left by
the alcohol. Do not use bleach or other cleaning solutions on the sensor lens.
• Sterilization: The industrial grade housing and design of the electronic
components allow for completely safe disinfecting with any accepted solution.
• Calibration: Factory calibration data is installed via a computer which
communicates with the TemporalScanner’s microprocessor. The instrument
automatically self-calibrates each time it is turned on using this data, and will
never require recalibration. If readings are not correct, the instrument should
be returned for repair.
