Section VI — Preventative Maintenance
Functional checks must be performed by technicians trained by Covidien llc and based on the procedure in the Genius 2 Tympanic
Thermometer and Base Checker Operation Manual. Contact your Covidien llc representative for details. Covidien llc recommends
functional checks at 12 month intervals. Harsh use or environmental conditions may require reduced functional check intervals at
some facilities. If the unit is dropped or abused, check the unit prior to next use.
Section VII — Cleaning
• The Genius 2 Tympanic Thermometer and Base body may be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Water temperature should not
exceed 55° C (130°F). Do not soak, rinse, spray or submerge the Genius 2 Tympanic Thermometer and Base. When cleaning the
thermometer body a probe cover should be installed on the thermometer. This will prevent harsh chemicals from damaging the
tip and probe lens.
• A mild detergent or detergent wipe may be used for cleaning purposes. Do not use cleaners such as Spray-Nine™*, Phisohex™*,
Hibiclens™*, Vesta-Syde™* , Anios DDSH™*, Sufanios Citroen™*, Perasafe powder™*, Sekusept Pulver, Classic™*, Sekulyse™*, Diesin
HG™*, Incides N™*, Surfa`Safe™* disinfectants as they may result in damage to the thermometer case or electronics.
• We do not recommend using a cleaning agent that contains Chlorine, but if it is necessary, use a 10:1 water hypochlorite mixture.
A damp isopropyl alcohol wipe, Cidex™*, Manuklenz™*, VIROX™* or CaviWipes™* cleansing agents are acceptable. However,
prolonged or repeated use of these chemicals may result in damage to the thermometer case, display or electronics. When
cleaning the thermometer, make sure the wipe has all excess fluid squeezed from it. If too wet, the chemical may penetrate the
handset and affect the thermometer functionality. Never spray the thermometer directly with cleaning chemicals. Spray a cloth
or sponge lightly dampening it with the cleaning agent and then apply it to the thermometer.
• The probe tip can be cleaned using an Isopropyl alcohol wipe such as Webcol™* or Curity™*. Remove all foreign matter from the
thermometer tip. After the foreign matter has been removed, dry the window at the end of the probe tip using a lint free swab,
cotton ball or lens wipe. The thermometer lens must be free from fingerprints and / or smudges for proper operation. After
cleaning the tip allow the thermometer to air dry for 30 minutes prior to use.
• Use of a clean cloth or sponge is recommended for cleaning. Never use an abrasive pad or an abrasive cleaner on the Genius 2
Tympanic Thermometer and Base.
• The thermometer is a non-sterile device. Do not use ethylene oxide gas, heat, autoclave, or any other harsh method to sterilize
this thermometer.
• Allow sufficient time for air drying (30 minutes) before attempting to use the thermometer after cleaning.
