Section V — Instructions for Use
The GENIUS 2 Thermometer uses the patented Peak Select System. This system is well known from our GENIUS Thermometer. It
reduces technique errors by taking multiple readings and automatically selecting the most accurate temperature for display.
Whereas the GENIUS only used 32 readings for Peak Select, the new and improved GENIUS 2 Thermometer uses 100 readings.

Prior to the introduction of tympanic thermometry, patient temperatures were measured in the mouth (oral), in the rectum
(rectal), under the arm (axillary), or in special cases with an indwelling Swan-Ganz™* catheter (core). If a patient’s temperature
was measured simultaneously with each of these methods, different absolute temperatures would be obtained. The GENIUS 2
Thermometer compensates for the average difference in temperature at each of these sites by
the displayed temperature.
