Exergen DT 1001-LN Scanner User Manual


 
I. The Instruments
The DermaTemp is a high precision hand-held infrared thermographic
scanner designed to detect the subtle skin temperature variations caused
by underlying perfusion variations.
These instruments feature a patented automatic emissivity compensa-
tion system for absolute accuracy regardless of skin type or color, and
provide an instant temperature measurement on any surface location
on the human body without the need for tissue contact.
In those applications where tissue contact is desirable or cross-con-
tamination is an issue, the use of disposable wraps or sheaths allows
even moist or wet tissue to be measured with precision accuracy.
The models include:
DT-1001 the standard model
DT-1001 LT has a conveniently angled stainless steel probe,
and can be used with or without disposable probe
wraps
DT-1001 LN has a longer probe than the DT-1001, and can
be used with or without a disposable sheath. The
sheath encases the entire instrument.
DT-1001 RS has a remote stainless steel sensor attached to
the instrument by cable, convenient for those es-
pecially hard to reach areas.
All instruments can be cleaned with any hospital approved disinfectant,
including bleach, and can be gas or plasma sterilized.
The DermaTemp is recommended for use in such areas as plastic and
vascular surgery, anesthesiology, pain management, rheumatology,
neurology, oncology, and wound management.
