TABLE OF CONTENTS
About the Thermometers The TURBO* TEMP™Electronic Thermometer, Models 218X are electronic thermometers which use a heat-sensing device known as a thermistor to sense temperature. The thermistor is part of the electrical circuit and is located at the tip of the probe. In Monitor mode, the display is continually updated in response to changes in temperature. In Normal mode, a final temperature is displayed with an audible beep. To obtain this temperature, the probe tip measures the rate of change in temperature when the thermistor comes into contact with surrounding tissue. A final temperature is calculated based on this rate of change.

SETUP PROCEDURE Installation
2. Using the adhesive mounting tape attached to the back of the dispenser, or the screws supplied, attach the Probe Cover Dispenser Bracket (Model 896) to a convenient location and install a box of 200 probe covers. 3. Set the instrument to the °C (Celsius) or °F (Fahrenheit) scale, as desired, by adjusting the recessed switch on the left side of the battery compartment with a small screwdriver or pen tip (°C=right switch position; °F=left switch position) see Figure 1a.
NOTE: Batteries must be installed exactly as shown on the battery compartment or the instrument will not function. Install negative end of battery first to prevent damage to the battery contacts. To open battery compartment, press one side of battery cover until latch releases, then press other side (refer to Figure 1a). Dispose of exhausted or used batteries in accordance with applicable regulations.
NOTE: Whenever batteries are replaced, the instrument will perform a self-test routine of the instrument hardware which will take about 15 seconds. Should the instrument fail a selftest, a FIX ME message along with a code number will appear in the display. Refer to the Calibration SelfTest and Service Information sections of this manual for further information. At the end of the self-test routine, the instrument will emit beeps continuously and display RETURN TO BASE. The*TURBO TEMP™ Electronic Thermometer must be returned to the home base to reset the antitheft timer whenever batteries are replaced.
4. Attach the home base to a convenient location using either the adhesive tape or screws supplied with the instrument. The home base may be attached to either a horizontal or vertical surface. 5. Install 3 size AA batteries and install cover. * 6. Insert the connectors on the probe cords (oral or rectal) into the connector sockets on the back of the instrument, and route the probe cord through the cord guide (see Figure 1a). Insert the probes into the probe storage wells in the top of the instrument. Insure the oral (blue) probe plug is connected to the #2 socket and the rectal (red) probe is connected to socket #1. *
Remove batteries if thermometer is not likely to be used for some time.
SETUP PROCEDURE 5
INSTALLATION
Danger: The Turbo * Temp™ Electronic Thermometer is an explosion hazard, do not use in the presence of flammable anesthetics.
1. Carefully unpack the TURBO* TEMP™ Electronic oral and rectal probes, and carrying strap, checking to ensure that each item is undamaged.
CAUTION: Do not use any kind of extender cables between oral
or rectal probe cables and instrument. Instrument will not operate if probes are misconnected.
7. a. Model 2180 - Attach carrying strap to thermometer, if desired. Place the thermometer in the Home Base to activate. Always store the instrument in the home base when not in use.
INSTALLATION
b. Model 2185 - Remove the two hex drive screws on both sides of the Home Base using the tool provided. Place the thermometer in the Home Base to activate. Tighten the screws using the tool provided.
CAUTION: Do not over tighten the screws. Home Base 1. Place the TURBO* TEMP™ Electronic Thermometer in the home base before using it for the first time or the instrument will not operate. The instrument must also be returned to the home base whenever the batteries are replaced. 2. The anti-theft timer and alarm are reset by returning the thermometer to the home base. When the anti-theft timer is configured for 8 hour operation (FACTORY DEFAULT), the RETURN TO BASE message will be displayed approximately one hour before the timer interval expires. When the antitheft timer is configured for one hour operation, the RETURN TO BASE message will be displayed approximately 10 minutes before the timer interval expires. When the timer interval expires (either 8 hours or 1 hour) the instrument will alarm with 3 long beeps or continuous beeps, (depending upon configuration settings) flash RETURN TO BASE message and cease to function.
6 SETUP PROCEDURE
Calibration Self-Check The calibration check verifies that the microprocessor is able to correctly measure resistance in the circuit, and convert that resistance to a temperature value. When a probe is removed from its well, the battery power is applied to the circuit. This self-check can be verified by observing the displays as the thermometer probe is removed from its well: • Select and remove one probe; note an audible beep. The instrument will be in Normal mode. • Verify that the display briefly shows 188.8°E and all messages. The self-check takes place during this time. • Verify that the test display is replaced by “26.7°C”(80.0°F).
INSTALLATION
• In Monitor mode*, the message MONITOR MODE will display, and the Pulse Timer button should be released. • If the message FIX ME CAL appears, the thermometer is out of calibration and requires service. * To place the thermometer into Monitor mode, push and hold the PULSE TIMER
button while removing one probe from its well. The pulse timer clock wedges appear and there is an audible beep.
OPERATIONAL PRECAUTIONS Electromagnetic Compatibility Operating the thermometer near equipment which radiates high-energy electromagnetic and radio frequencies (electrosurgical/cauterizing equipment, portable radios, cellular telephones, etc.) may cause false alarm conditions. If this happens, reposition the thermometer away from the source of interference and perform a new measurement.
Start-Up Install a box of 20 probe covers in the storage compartment at the rear of the instrument. Place the carrying strap around your neck, if desired. With your thumb and forefinger, grasp the base of a probe and withdraw it from the probe storage well (see Figure 2). This action automatically turns on the instrument. Verify that all display segments, except the pulse timer clock, momentarily light and that the instrument beeps once. When this sequence is complete, the instrument will display the temperature or “Lo” if the ambient temperature is less than 26.7°C (80.0°F) indicating the instrument is ready for use.

SETUP PROCEDURE 7
FEATURES AND OPTIONS Normal Use Operating Instructions
CAUTION: Use only IVAC® P850A Probe Covers with the
TURBO *TEMP™ Thermometer. The size, shape, and thermal characteristics of the probe covers can affect the performance of the instrument. Inaccurate readings or retention problems may occur unless IVAC® probe covers are used. To avoid cross contamination, use each cover only once.
CAUTION: If a patient’s temperature is below 96.0°F, the
unit will automatically switch from the normal mode into the monitor mode within 60 seconds. MONITOR MODE will be displayed and a correct final temperature reading may require 3 minutes or longer. The unit will not beep at final temperature. It will continue to monitor the patient’s temperature until the probe is removed from the patient and returned to the storage well.
Figure 3 - Installing Probe Cover
Oral Temperature Measurement For oral temperature measurement use the blue, oral probe. Insert the probe completely and firmly into a probe cover to ensure a secure fit (see Figure 3). Failure to firmly install the probe cover may result in the probe cover becoming loose or disengaging during use. Be careful not to press the probe ejection button (where the cord exits the probe) as this might loosen or eject the probe cover.
Figure 5 - Side View
2. Hold the probe during the entire temperature measurement process (see Figure 6) and keep the probe tip in contact with tissue at all times. Do not allow patient to reposition or hold the probe. Figure 6 - Oral Temperature Measurement
Temperatures in the mouth can vary as much as 3°F from the relatively cool hard palate to the warm sublingual area. To take an accurate oral temperature reading, place the thermometer tip in either the right or left posterior pocket (heat pocket) at the base of the tongue. Figure 4 - Examples of the Temperature Variations at the Floor of the Mouth
FEATURES AND OPTIONS 9
NORMAL USE
1. Have patient open mouth slightly. Holding the probe loosely, place the probe tip into the sublingual pocket where the richest blood supply is located (see Figures 4 and 5).
NOTE: If the probe tip temperature is higher than 33.3°C (92°F) when taken out of the probe well, the thermometer will not be able to quickly predict the patient's temperature. Instead, the thermometer will automatically go into Monitor mode. M ONITO R M O D E will then be displayed. A correct final temperature reading may require 3 minutes or longer. The instrument will not beep at final temperature. It will continue to monitor the patient's temperature until the probe is removed from the patient and returned to the storage well.
3. While the patient's temperature is being determined, the tissue contact pinwheel will appear in the top right corner of the display and the 26.7°C (80.0°F) will be replaced by an advancing temperature. Three audible tones indicates that the measurement is complete, and the patient's temperature (in degrees and tenths of a degree) will appear on the display panel. The display will clear as the probe is returned to the storage well. NOTE: If there is a long delay from the time the probe is removed from the probe storage well until it is inserted into the patient's mouth, it is possible that the instrument will not display a final temperature. If this occurs, insert the probe into the probe storage well, remove it again and start a new measurement. NOTE: If an unusually high or low temperature reading is obtained, reconfirm the reading before beginning treatment.
NORMAL USE
4. Observe the displayed temperature and remove the probe from the patient's mouth. Hold the probe as you would a syringe and press the probe ejection button at the base of the probe to eject the used probe cover into a waste container (see Figure 7).
Figure 7 - Probe Ejection
5. Return the oral (blue) probe to the blue probe storage well. This will automatically turn off and reset the thermometer for the next temperature. 6. To recall the last available temperature reading, press the PULSE TIMER button. DO NOT withdraw the probe from the storage well as this will cause memory to be erased.
Rectal Temperature Measurement For rectal temperature measurement use the red rectal probe from the red (rectal) well. Insert the probe completely and firmly into a cover. Failure to firmly install the probe cover may result in the probe cover becoming loose or disengaged during use. Be careful not to press the probe ejection button where the cord exits the probe as this might loosen or eject the probe cover. 1. Touch the tissue about 1.3 cm (0.5 inch) above the sphincter muscle and carefully insert the probe, using current hospital technique for penetration. (The use of a lubricant is optional.) 2. To ensure continuous tissue contact and maximize patient comfort, hold the probe in position until the audible tone
10 FEATURES AND OPTIONS
sounds three times, indicating the patient's temperature has been reached.
NOTE: If an unusually high or low temperature reading is obtained, reconfirm the reading before beginning treatment.
3. Note the temperature, withdraw the probe, press the probe ejection button to eject the used probe cover, and return the rectal (red) probe to the red probe storage well. In Monitor mode, the TURBO * TEMP™ Electronic Thermometer continuously measures the patient's temperature as it rises or falls.
Monitor Mode Operating Instructions Monitor Mode 1. Push and hold the PULSE TIMER button. 2. While pressing the pulse timer button select and remove one probe. 3. Attach a probe cover.
5. After positioning the probe, observe the changing display reading. When the display stops changing (3-5 minutes), the patient’s current temperature is indicated on the display. (The instrument will not beep to indicate final temperature reading.)
Axillary Temperature Measurement 1.For axillary temperature measurement, instrument must be placed in the Monitor Mode (follow steps 1-3 under Monitor Mode Operating Instructions above). 2.Place probe in patient's axilla, making sure the tip of the probe is in contact with the skin and positioned as close as possible to the axillary artery with the patient's arm held close to their side (see Figure 8). The 26.7°C (80.0°F) will be replaced with the probe tip temperature as the probe warms up. 3. Leave probe in place for the same length of time as required by standard hospital procedure for taking an axillary temperature. (The instrument will not beep to indicate final temperature reading.) 4. Observe patient's temperature, remove probe, eject probe cover, and return probe to storage well.

NORMAL USE
4. When the display test has completed, release the PULSE TIMER button. M ONITOR MODE will be displayed.
Pulse Timer Operation The pulse timer feature is intended to be used in the same manner as you would use a watch for calculating heart rate or respiration rate. 1. Locate the patient's pulse (see Figure 9).
Figure 9 - Pulse Timer
2. Begin taking pulse and, at the same time, press the PULSE TIMER button. The instrument will emit a single short beep to indicate the start of the pulse timer clock. All twelve segments of the clock will come on. One segment will turn off every five seconds, moving sequentially around the clock, starting at 12 o'clock. The last segment turns off at 60 seconds. The instrument will beep once at 15 seconds, beep twice at 30 seconds, and beep three times and turn off at 60 seconds. Pulse is calculated in the same manner as using a stopwatch. 3. Pulse Timer operation can be terminated at any time by pressing the PULSE TIMER button. The instrument will emit three short beeps to indicate termination, and the pulse timer display will turn off.
NORMAL USE
Information Display TISSUE CONTACT PINWHEEL - Consists of three arrows, sequentially forming a circle, with arrowheads rotating clockwise. Motion indicates tissue contact (Normal mode only). PULSE TIMER CLOCK - Consists of twelve pie wedges forming a clock. Provided to time events such as pulse rate or respiration rate. MONITOR MODE - Indicates instrument is functioning in Monitor mode to continuously track a patient's temperature. The temperature is indicated on the display and will change as the patient's temperature rises or falls. If the pulse timer button is not pressed when the probe is removed and this message appears, it indicates that the instrument attempted a temperature measurement when the starting probe tip temperature was above 33.3°C (92.0°F). The instrument is unable to quickly "predict" a patient's temperature, so it automatically switches to Monitor mode. The temperature on the display will slowly rise and may require 3 minutes or longer before final temperature is reached.
12 FEATURES AND OPTIONS
LOW BATTERY - Indicates batteries are low. Battery replacement is not required until the REPLACE BATTERY alarm is displayed (see below). BATTERY REPLACE - Indicates the batteries are unusable and must be replaced. RETURN TO BASE - Displayed continuously indicates that 10 minutes (for 1 hour configuration) or 1 hour (for an 8 hour configuration) or less remains before the expiration of the predetermined anti-theft time period (factory set to 8 hours). When the configured time period expires, the instrument will emit 3 long or continuous beeps (depending upon configuration settings), display the RETURN TO BASE message and cease to function. Return to home base to reset anti-theft timer. BROKEN PROBE - (accompanied by FIX M E and broken probe indicator, either oral or rectal) - Indicates a probe is broken and needs to be replaced. Replace probe in well or unplug probe to reset. Replace with new probe if the message persists.
NORMAL USE
FIX ME # (accompanied by three long beeps and a number) Indicates instrument detects a self-test failure. Instrument operation is discontinued until the failure is corrected. Remove one battery, then reinstall battery. The instrument will run through the self-test routine. If the fix me message appears again, record the fix me number and refer to the Service Information section of this manual.
