Optional Disposable Covers
The use of disposable covers with the DT-1001 LT is optional, depend-
ing on the requirements of the application. Recommended guidelines
are as follows:
Use With Disposable Cover
For absolute accuracy, minimizing the effects of emissivity and
evaporative cooling, contact with the measurement site is recom-
mended. Accordingly, when direct contact is employed, use of a
disposable probe cover is recommended.
When touching moist tissue, use of a disposable cover is required
specifically to avoid a lower temperature from the effects of evapo-
rative cooling, and to protect against the risk of cross contamina-
tion.
Use Without Disposable Cover
If the measurement site is dry, direct contact can confidently be
made without the use of a disposable cover. When the site is dry
and the precise temperature is not a prerequisite, the measure-
ment can be made without even contacting the skin. The probe
can be cleaned with any hospital approved disinfectant, even bleach
solution.
