About Body Temperature

It is a common myth that 98.6°F (37°C) is the “normal body temperature.” The truth is that 98.6°F (37°C) is an average body temperature. Normal body temperature is actually a range that varies with age, gender, and measurement site. Body temperatures also fluctuate through out the day, typically cooler temperatures in the morning, warmer in the afternoon, and cooling down again in the evening. Other factors that can influence body temperature are: the patient’s recent level of activity, metabolism rate, or medications. Normal body temperatures also tend to decrease with age.
Please see the chart below for normal temperature ranges by patient age and site. Readings from different body sites, even when taken at the same time, should not be directly compared; body temperatures will vary by site.

5. For Oral temperatures, insert the probe tip deep into the sublingual pocket next to the frenulum linguae, (vertical fold of tissue in middle of tongue), on one side or the other, toward the back of the mouth.
   Note: Accurate body temperature readings can only be obtained in one of these two “heat pocket” locations as shown. Temperatures taken in other mouth locations will result in inaccurate body temperature readings.

6. Patient’s mouth must be closed.*

7. Securely hold the probe in place until the temperature
   is displayed.

8. For Axillary temperatures, have the patient raise the arm, then place the probe tip in the axilla. Press gently to assure good contact. For the most accurate temperature the probe tip should be placed directly against the patients skin.

9. Have the patient then lower the arm and remain as still as possible. Hold the probe parallel to the arm as shown.*

10. If two short beeps are heard, it means the unit switched to Direct (slow) mode for this temperature only.

11. A “long beep” is sounded when measurement is complete and the final temperature is displayed.

12. To change between Celsius and Fahrenheit scales, press the °C/°F button. Press again as needed.

13. Eject the used cover into a bio-waste container by pushing top button.

14. After returning the probe to the probe well, the temperature is stored for recall until the probe is once again withdrawn. If the probe is returned to the probe well before the “long beep” is heard, no temperature will be stored for the recall function.

Rectal Temperature Taking

1. Make certain that the Red isolation chamber/probe unit is attached.
2. Withdraw the probe and apply a probe cover. Thermometer turns on automatically.
3. An icon identifying Rectal mode is always displayed provided the Red isolation chamber/probe assembly is attached. Pressing the Site button on the front panel to change modes has no effect.

5. Insert the probe into the patient’s rectum. To ensure proper tissue contact, angle the probe slightly after insertion.*
6. Depth of insertion is recommended at 1/2” to 3/4” (12 mm – 19 mm) for adults and 1/4” to 1/2” (6 mm – 13 mm) for children.
7. If two short beeps are heard, it means the unit switched to Direct (slow) mode for this temperature only.
8. A “long beep” is sounded when measurement is complete and the final temperature is displayed.
9. To change between Celsius and Fahrenheit scales, press the °C/°F button. Press again as needed.
10. Eject the used cover into a bio-waste container by pushing top button.
11. After returning the probe to the probe well, the temperature is stored for recall until the probe is once again withdrawn. If the probe is returned to the probe well before the “long beep” is heard, no temperature will be stored for the recall function.

Probe movement during a measurement can affect the thermometer’s ability to accurately measure the site temperature and may lengthen the time required to obtain a reading.

Direct Mode

1. The Filac 3000 EZ/EZA Electronic Thermometer normally operates in Predictive mode for accurate temperature measuring. In certain cases, such as with a hypothermic patient, the thermometer will automatically shift to Direct (slow) mode and will then act as a temperature monitor.
2. The Filac 3000 EZ/EZA Electronic Thermometer can be set to operate exclusively in Direct mode (disable Predictive mode). See the Direct Mode Lock Section for instructions on configuring the thermometer to operate exclusively in Direct mode.
3. In Direct mode the device may require up to 60 seconds to reach equilibrium and display patient temperature.
4. A turtle icon will be continuously displayed whenever the thermometer is functioning in Direct mode.
5. To change between Celsius and Fahrenheit scales, press and release the °C/°F button. Press and release again as needed.
6. An Up or Down arrow will appear on the display whenever the current temperature reading is out of range, either High or Low, respectively.
7. The Direct mode auto feature is always functional regardless of Red or Blue isolation chamber/ probe.
8. A “long beep” is sounded when measurement is complete and the final temperature is displayed.
9. After returning the probe to the probe well, the temperature is stored for recall until the probe is once again withdrawn. If the probe is returned to the probe well before the “long beep” is heard, no temperature will be stored for the recall function.

Direct Mode Lock

1. To configure the thermometer so it always operates in Direct mode, press and hold the Site and °C/°F buttons at the same time for 4 seconds. A long “beep” will be sounded. On the LCD, the turtle will flash and “ON” will be displayed for approximately 2 seconds before the unit turns off. (Note: The thermometer must be off before configuring Direct mode lock.)
2. In this mode of operation, the turtle icon will be continuously displayed during use to indicate Direct mode operation.
3. To exit Direct mode lock and return to normal operation, again press and hold the Site and °C/°F buttons at the same time for 4 seconds. A long “beep” will be sounded. On the LCD, the turtle will flash and “OFF” will be displayed for approximately 2 seconds then the unit will turn off.

Recall Last Temperature

1. After each temperature measurement, a “long beep” is heard. The “beep” indicates the temperature measurement has been completed and stored and is available for recall. This temperature can be recalled after the probe is returned to the probe well.
2. To recall the most recent temperature measurement, press and release °C/°F button on the front panel. The last measurement taken will appear for several seconds.
3. While the recalled measurement is displayed, the user may press and release the °C/°F button again to change between the Celsius and Fahrenheit scales.
4. Withdrawing the probe from the probe well erases last temperature memory.
5. If the most recent temperature measurement was incomplete or out of range, dashes will appear on the display during the recall operation.

a Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the Filac 3000 Electronic Thermometer is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the Filac 3000 Electronic Thermometer should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as re-orienting or relocating the Filac 3000 Electronic Thermometer.
b Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 3 V/m.
