Set User/Site Information; Set Date And Time; Check Calibration - Covidien Genius 2 Manual De Instrucciones

Set User/Site Information

The Set User/Site Information screen is used to enter the operator's name and the organization and/or site information.
This information will be written to the test report file.
To enter the information, use the encoder knob to scroll through the alphabet for a given letter position in the operator name or site information. When the
correct letter is shown, press the encoder knob to select the letter and advance to the next letter position.
To enter a space, just press the encoder knob when a space or blank letter is shown in that letter position. The user name can be up to 20 characters long.
Use the encoder knob to scroll to the organization field and enter a name for the site in a similar manner. To exit the menu, scroll to the DONE text and press
the encoder knob.

Set Date and Time

The Set Date and Time screen menu option is used to setup the date and time that is used on the test report. The time and date are internally stored and
automatically updated when the unit is powered up.
To enter time, use the encoder knob to select the hours and minutes. Note: the time is setup using the currently selected time format: 12 hour clock format
using AM/PM, or a 24 hour clock format, where 1PM is entered as 13:00 etc. When the value is correct, push the encoder knob to move to the next field of
the time and then to the date field. The date field is setup using a MMDDYYYY, DDMMYYYY or YYYYMMDD format depending on the currently selected
date format. After the last field of the date is entered, the next encoder push will exit this menu and return to the Main Menu. Note: the time and date are
shown at the bottom of the Main Menu.

Check Calibration

This menu option performs the calibration check of a Genius™ 3 Thermometer, and if required, automatically recalibrates the thermometer using a series of
step-by-step screens. Before entering this menu option, make sure that the required equipment listed in Section IV is available. This includes a cassette with
unused (new) probe covers.
Step 1:
Warm up of infrared blackbody targets. This screen is displayed while the targets are checked for proper temperature. Both the Low Target and the High
Target are checked, and when they are at the correct temperature, the screen will change to "OK" for each target. There is a prompt to press the encoder
knob to continue to the next screen. If either target cannot reach the correct temperature, an Error message screen will be displayed. If this happens, check
to be sure the Genius™ Checker/Calibrator is within the correct ambient (room) temperature range, and has been given at least 15 minutes of warm up time
since power was switched on.
Step 2:
Inspect the Genius™ 3 Thermometer that will be tested. Ensure that the thermometer lens is not scratched and is free from ear wax and/or other
contaminants. If the thermometer lens is ''dirty'' , clean the lens according to the instructions in the Genius™ 3 Thermometer operating manual. The
confirmation screen will be shown, asking for confirmation that the Genius™ 3 Thermometer's lens is clean. If lens is not clean, failed calibration may occur
or the unit may be calibrated incorrectly.
Step 3:
Connect the Genius™ 3 Thermometer to the Genius™ Checker/Calibrator by plugging the round end of the thermometer interface cable into the round
connector socket on the Genius™ Checker/Calibrator front panel (refer to Figure 2). Open the battery door of the thermometer by using a small Phillips
screwdriver. Remove the batteries and set aside. Connect the other end of the thermometer probe cable into the battery compartment, making sure the
connector ''snaps'' into place securely. Refer to Figure 2 in Section V. Press the scan button on the Genius™ 3 Thermometer, so that it is powered on and ready
to communicate with the Genius™ Checker/Calibrator. If the Genius™ Checker/Calibrator is unable to initiate communication with the thermometer, an
informational message will be shown prompting the user to ensure that there is no probe cover present on the thermometer tip and that the scan button
has been pressed.
Note: A new, clean, Genius™ probe cover must be used prior to every target insertion. Finger oils on previously used probe covers or reused probe covers
that have been heated by Genius™ Checker/Calibrator target can cause erroneous readings which may result in a failed calibration check or an inaccurate
calibration. Therefore, it is extremely important that a new probe cover is used each time.
Step 4:
Press the encoder knob to continue, and then install a new Genius™ probe cover onto the Genius™ 3 Thermometer. Make sure to use a cover that is held in
the cassette. Once the cover is on the thermometer, do not point the probe tip at any object, including hands, fingers or LCD display, as this will cause an
inaccurate temperature reading. Inspect the probe cover to make sure it is fully seated (no space between the cover and the tip base) and no holes, tears, or
wrinkles are present in the plastic film. When the cover is on, insert the probe tip into the Low temperature target, which will have a blinking LED indicator
next to it. Make sure that the probe tip is fully inserted into the target well. Refer to Figure 3a for proper insertion. In order to avoid a time-out error, insert
the covered probe tip into the target within 60 seconds from the time the encoder knob is pressed.
