FILAC FasTemp*
Speed or accuracy?
Now be on target with both.
When you are taking a temperature, speed and
accuracy are both critical. You need the quickest
reading possible, but getting it fast doesn’t count if
the temperature is not on target.
With the FILAC FasTemp* Thermometer, you no
longer have to choose, our FasT System allows the
thermometer to “think” on the job like no other
thermometer can. This smart technology allows the
thermometer to target a precise temperature by
enabling it to search for and analyze trends that are
unique to a patient’s individual body site. Accurate
measurement times are as fast as 4 seconds for oral
temperature readings and 10 seconds for axillary
and rectal temperature measurements. Only the
FILAC FasTemp* thermometer takes into account
the patient’s physiological conditions and will report
a reading only when it complies with both ASTM
and CEN standards, a first in the industry. With its
fast PREDICTIVE mode for accurate temperature
measuring and its DIRECT mode for monitoring you
will have the possibility to measure hypothermic
patients as well.
What good is a quick temperature reading if its
accuracy is questionable? Choose the FILAC FasTemp*
Thermometer, where accuracy and speed finally meet.
Direct Mode
FILAC FasTemp* Thermometer normally operates in
fast Predictive mode for accurate temperature
measuring. In certain cases, such as an hypothermic
patient, the thermometer will automatically shift to
Direct (slow) mode and will then act as a temperature
monitor.
