Exergen Temporal Scanner 2000C - Manual (Page 12)

Cleaning the Instrument
The TemporalScanner is an optical instrument. Like a camera or eye glasses,
a dirty lens will distort the view. If the thermometer is unable to see the heat
clearly, it will be unable to measure it accurately, resulting in low readings.
z Probe lens and cone should be shiny clean, if
not, wipe with a small cloth or swab moistened
with alcohol.
z Hold upside-down to prevent excess moisture
from entering the sensor area. It will not harm
the sensor, but if it becomes too wet, you will
be unable to take a temperature until it dries.
z Thermometer case can be cleaned with any
hospital approved disinfectant, alcohol, even
bleach solutions. Avoid gritty, abrasive cleaners
as they can scratch the thermometer.
z Do not hold the TemporalScanner under the
faucet or submerge in water. It is not water-
proof.
