• The Genius™ Checker/Calibrator may only be used indoors, in an area free from drafts and wide ambient temperature swings.
• The USB port on the front panel is intended to be used with only a USB Flash memory drive with a minimum capacity of 128MB
and maximum capacity of 8GB. No other USB devices should be inserted into the USB port.The USB flash memory drive should be
installed prior to device power-up.
Caution:
• The surface quality of the interior of the reference blackbody targets is critical to their operation as efficient infrared radiators. Care should
be exercised when working near the entrance to the blackbody targets to ensure that no contact is made with the surface inside the
rubber flaps. If interior of the blackbody targets is suspected to be dirty or damaged, unit should be sent to a service center for evaluation.
• In the event of a blown fuse, replace the fuse with a fuse that exactly matches the rated voltage, current, and form factor as specified
in the Genius™ Checker/Calibrator Specifications section of this manual. Make sure the device is disconnected from the AC power
source before changing a blown fuse.
• Aside from fuses, there are no user-serviceable components in this device. Do not remove the front panel. Refer servicing to qualified
service personnel.
• When prompted to insert the Genius™ 3Thermometer into one of the blackbody targets, there is a 60 second window of time to
accomplish the insertion. If the time delay exceeds this period, the procedure will be terminated.
• Prior to checking/calibrating a Genius™ 3Thermometer, ensure that the thermometer lens is clean. Effective cleaning will ensure that
the calibration tolerances are correctly verified. Refer to the cleaning instructions in the Genius™ 3Thermometer operating manual.
• All probe covers utilized with this device should be new, clean, Genius™ Probe Covers, still attached to the cassette. Use of covers that
have been touched, handled incorrectly, previously used, damaged or faulty, those with wrinkles, holes, or other defects, could cause
inaccurate results. Use of other branded probe covers could cause inaccurate results and/or damage to the thermometer and the

Genius ™ Vérificateur/calibreur de thermomètre Table des matières
1
Section I – Description fonctionnelle
Ce manuel décrit le fonctionnement de l’appareil de vérification/calibrateur Genius™. Cet instrument a été développé pour vérifier la précision du
thermomètre auriculaire Genius™ 3 et réétalonne automatiquement le thermomètre, si nécessaire. De plus, l’appareil de vérification/calibrateur
Genius™ peut générer un rapport de test pour chaque thermomètre testé et l’enregistrer sur une clé USB. L’appareil de vérification/calibrateur
Genius™ fonctionnera avec toutes les versions logicielles de thermomètres Genius™ 3.
L’appareil de vérification/calibrateur Genius™ contient deux cibles d’étalonnage infrarouges contrôlées indépendamment qui sont similaires aux
cibles d’étalonnage usine. Ces cibles « corps noir » sont conçues pour offrir un transfert thermique radiatif efficace et produire un rayonnement
infrarouge proche de l’oreille humaine à des températures de 32,22° C et 40,55° C.
Compatible avec le thermomètre tympanique Genius™ 3, le Vérificateur/Étalonneur Genius™ l’est aussi entièrement avec le
thermomètre tympanique Genius™ 2. Tout au long de ce document, lorsque le thermomètre Genius™ 3 est mentionné, la mise
en garde, l’avertissement ou les instructions s’appliquent également à un thermomètre Genius™ 2, sauf indication contraire.

Section II – Précautions et avertissements
Avertissement :
• LeVérificateur/Étalonneur Genius™ est conçu pour être utilisé en milieu clinique par du personnel ayant une formation de base en métrologie ou
en biomédecine.
• L’appareil de vérification/calibrateur Genius™ est conçu pour être utilisé comme indiqué dans ce manuel. La protection fournie par les dispositifs
de sécurité dans l’appareil de vérification/calibrateur Genius™ peut être mise à mal si le dispositif n’est pas utilisé conformément aux instructions
contenues dans ce manuel.
• Le boîtier de l’appareil de vérification/calibrateur Genius™ n’est pas étanche. Eviter de renverser du liquide, de quelque nature que ce soit, sur le
panneau avant de l’instrument. De même, l’appareil de vérification/calibrateur Genius™ est alimenté depuis une source c.a. Eviter tout contact
potentiel entre du liquide et toute surface externe de l’instrument lorsque ce dernier est relié au secteur.
• Cet instrument ne doit pas être utilisé en présence d’anesthésiques inflammables. Ces anesthésiques génèrent un risque d’explosion.
• Utiliser uniquement le module d’alimentation fourni avec cet instrument
• Pour maintenir le respect de la compatibilité électromagnétique (CEM), utiliser une clé USB marquée CE et conforme à la norme EN55032.
• L’appareil de vérification/calibrateur Genius™ ne peut être utilisé qu’en intérieur, dans une zone à l’abri des courants d’air et d’importantes
variations de la température ambiante.
• Le port USB sur le panneau avant est destiné à être utilisé uniquement avec une clé USB à mémoire Flash d’une capacité minimale de 128 Mo et
maximale de 8 Go. Aucun autre périphérique USB ne doit être inséré dans ce port USB. La clé USB doit être installée avant la mise sous tension
de l’instrument.
Mise en garde
• La qualité de la surface de l’intérieur des cibles corps noir de référence est essentielle à leur fonctionnement en tant que radiateurs infrarouges
efficaces. Lorsque l’on travaille à proximité de l’entrée des cibles corps noir, il est impératif de s’assurer qu’aucun contact n’est réalisé avec la surface
à l’intérieur des rabats en caoutchouc. Si l’intérieur des cibles du corps noir est suspecté d’être sale ou endommagé, le dispositif doit être retourné à
un centre de service pour évaluation.
• Si un fusible vient à griller, le remplacer par un fusible correspondant exactement à la tension nominale, à l’intensité et aux dimensions spécifiées
dans la section Caractéristiques de l’appareil de vérification/calibrateur Genius™ de ce manuel. Avant de changer un fusible grillé, s’assurer que
l’instrument est déconnecté de la source d’alimentation c.a.
• Hormis les fusibles, il n’y a aucun composant qui peut être réparé par l’utilisateur dans cet équipement. Ne pas retirer le panneau avant. Confier
l’entretien à un technicien qualifié.
• Après avoir été invité à insérer le thermomètre Genius™ 3 dans une des cibles corps noir, l’utilisateur dispose de 60 secondes.
La procédure est interrompue si ce délai est dépassé.
• Avant de vérifier/d’étalonner un thermomètre Genius™ 3, s’assurer que la lentille du thermomètre est propre. Un nettoyage efficace assurera que les
tolérances d’étalonnage sont correctement vérifiées. Se reporter aux instructions de nettoyage du manuel d’utilisation du thermomètre Genius™ 3.
• Tous les embouts de sonde utilisés avec cet équipement doivent être des embouts de sonde Genius™ neufs et propres et restés fixés sur la cassette
en plastique. L’utilisation d’embouts qui ont été touchés, manipulés de façon incorrecte, déjà utilisés, endommagés ou défectueux, ou qui
présentent des pliures, des trous ou d’autres défauts, peut causer des résultats imprécis. L’utilisation d’embouts de sonde d’une autre marque peut
entraîner des résultats inexacts et/ou endommager le thermomètre et l’unité de vérification/étalonnage.
• Pour obtenir des résultats précis, préchauffez leVérificateur/Étalonneur Genius™ après la mise sous tension pendant au moins 15 minutes avant
utilisation. S’assurer qu’un délai suffisant a été accordé aux thermomètres Genius™ 3, aux embouts et à l’appareil de vérification/calibrateur
Genius™ pour s’équilibrer à la température ambiante avant de poursuivre. Accorder une période de réchauffement supérieure si l’appareil ou les
thermomètres se trouvaient aux limites extrêmes de la température ambiante autorisée. La portabilité de l’appareil de vérification/calibrateur
Genius™ permettra un repositionnement de l’appareil dans des zones répondant aux exigences de température ambiante.
• Ne jamais placer ou poser le thermomètre Genius™ 3 sur la surface de l’appareil de vérification/calibrateur Genius™. Les capteurs thermiques à
l’intérieur de l’extrémité de la sonde du thermomètre détectent la chaleur transmise des cibles corps noir via la surface du panneau avant. Cela
entraîne une instabilité des capteurs du thermomètre, qui produisent alors des valeurs de température erronées
• Dans l’éventualité où l’appareil de vérification/calibrateur Genius™ tomberait, retourner l’unité à l’usine pour un nouvel étalonnage.
• S’assurer qu’il n’y a pas d’objets étrangers tels que d’anciens embouts de sonde à l’intérieur des cibles du corps noir avant de faire la vérification
du thermomètre.
• Le boîtier duVérificateur/Étalonneur Genius™ doit rester fermé lorsqu’il n’est pas utilisé pour éviter d’endommager le dispositif et pour éviter la
salissure des cibles du corps noir due à la poussière.
• Si la clé USB à mémoire Flash est installée après avoir effectué un contrôle d’Étalonnage, un message d’erreur peut apparaître lors de la tentative
d’écriture du fichier de rapport si l’opérateur n’attend pas que la clé USB ait terminé son initialisation. Si leVérificateur/Étalonneur Genius™ est mis
hors tension, toute la mémoire interne (non encore enregistrée sur la clé USB à mémoire Flash) sera effacée.
• Cet équipement n’est pas destiné à être utilisé dans des environnements résidentiels et pourrait ne pas assurer une protection adéquate contre les
fréquences radioélectriques dans de tels environnements.
