I. 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.

The FILAC 3000 Electronic Thermometer is a reliable and accurate temperature taking device. The accuracy of the FILAC 3000 Electronic
Thermometer is derived from the design, controlled calibration methods, and stringent manufacturing controls. One of the most critical parts
of the thermometer is the FILAC 3000 ACCUSYSTEM√ probe cover produced by Tyco Healthcare Group LP. When placed on the FILAC 3000
Electronic Thermometer probe, the probe cover serves as an infection control barrier between the patient and the device and acts as a medium
for heat transmission from the patient to the thermometer. The functionality of the FILAC 3000 ACCUSYSTEM√ probe cover is extremely
important for preventing device contamination and for allowing accurate patient temperature measurements.
The reason the FILAC 3000 Electronic Thermometer and FILAC 3000 ACCUSYSTEM√ probe covers have satisfied our customers’ expectations
is due to the integration of these two parts during the manufacturing process. The probe cover molding process parameters are tightly
controlled at Tyco Healthcare Group LP to minimize variation and produce consistent, reliable products.
The special grades of thermoplastic materials are also tightly controlled and are specifically chosen to deliver consistent temperature
measurements with FILAC 3000 Electronic Thermometers. The factory calibration and final acceptance determination of a FILAC 3000
Electronic Thermometer is dependent on the use of Tyco Healthcare Group LP produced FILAC 3000 ACCUSYSTEM√ probe covers. The use
of generic probe covers or other probe covers not produced by Tyco Healthcare Group LP is not supported or sanctioned by Tyco Healthcare
Group LP. The use of unauthorized probe covers could jeopardize the accuracy of the FILAC 3000 Electronics Thermometer. Check your probe
cover carton for the ACCUSYSTEM√ logo to be certain that your thermometer will deliver an accurate temperature every time it is utilized.
