Useful Life: 7 years mfg. listing.
Product Description/Intended Use:
The C-5000 is a paraspinal infrared temperature recorder (K974208) indicated for use in
detecting, measuring, recording, and graphing the skin surface temperature on both sides
of the spine of adults and children by chiropractors. It is to be used before and after
therapy is rendered as part of monitoring the patients response to care, similar to a
common thermometer.
The TyTron series of scanners (C-5000 USB replaces the earlier serial connected
instruments) - differed only in the communication mode to the host computer. They
directly enter the patients thermographic information into a computer. A built-in distance
measuring encoder removes any risk of the operator’s inability to control a uniform speed
at which the back scan is performed. The scan is initiated at S1 for a full spine graph and
C1 for a cervical graph. The end point of the scan is established by the probe tips
“bumping” into the occipital shelf. All graphs are than precisely aligned from that end
point down, yielding an accurate, repeatable rendering of the thermal “picture” at that
point in time of the patient’s paraspinal area.
The system is capable of recording and graphing thermal differentials (right to left
thermal asymmetries) as displayed on the computer’s monitor. It also records actual skin
temperature on the right and left sides of the spine.
The sensors are housed in a solid block of aluminum in order to maintain peak efficiency
and thermal stability throughout each scan. The focusing barrels are isolated from the
patient by their plastic contoured tips. Accurate temperature readings can be taken up to
1 inch away from the skin's surface.

1PREFACE
1.1 Description of the User
The Type 1 user would be any health care professional, professional assistant, or
chiropractic / medical office employee. The only requirement is that he/she have basic
computer skills (minor word processing and familiarity with a computer keyboard).
Operation of the instrument involves holding the C-5000 scanner either right or
lefthanded, positioning it on the patients’ back, pulling and holding a trigger to initiate
and complete a rolling scan. Either cervical or full spine scans all end when the probe
tips reach the occipital ridge – an easy landmark (the probe tips can’t really go beyond
this ridge without a conscious effort by the operator to “ride” over the ridge. The exam
room temperature should be between 70- and 77-degrees F. (21C to 25 C)
The operator training on the actual performance of the rolling scan is shown on a video
on our web site www.titronics.com , the operation of the software is described in this
owner’s manual and can be augmented with real time remote connection using
www.gotomeeting.com and Titronics tech team.
Installation of the software maybe done by most lay persons following the directions in
this manual. The C-5000 USB driver will self-install the required driver on any
Windows computer connected to the internet.
Type 2 user - If multiple computers and a server for the data base are involved, it is
customary for an office IT person to perform that part of the setup or an internet
connection can be made with the Titronics tech team using www.logmein123.com for
remote access.
Only users that have HIPPA training and their office’s clearance should be allowed
access (passwords) to the software as the patient’s name can be seen. The software is
password and level protected.
This document is intended for the Type 1 user.

2Description of the product
2.1 Device Description
The TyTron C-5000 is a handheld paraspinal thermographic scanning system. It consists
of two focused infrared sensors designed to straddle the spinal column to detect
temperatures. With the aid of a computer assisted program, the system is capable of
recording and graphing thermal differentials (right to left thermal asymmetries) on a
horizontal scale. It also records direct temperatures on the vertical scale (independent at
right and left absolute temperatures). Two sets of small wheels incorporate an optical
system which measures wheel rotation, providing an accurate odometer for measuring
distance traveled along the spine. Full spine scans are conducted and can be graphed as
either a full spine line graph or a bar graph. A full spine graph can be achieved in about
15 seconds. The sensors are housed in a solid block of aluminum in order to maintain
peak efficiency throughout each scan. The focusing barrels are isolated from the patient
by their plastic contoured tips. Accurate temperature readings can be taken up to 1 cm
away from the skin's surface.
2.2 Intended Use and Reasonably Foreseeable Misuse – see page 1
2.3 Recommended Cleaning
There are two materials that touch the patient: The distance measuring wheels are an
elastomeric “rubber” formulation that is bio compatible. The polycarbonate clear tips on
the focusing barrels are also bio compatible. The finish on the scanner is a Polyester
Polyurethane baked on coating (powder coat trade name) that is also bio compatible.
The concern for skin contamination is in the possible transfer of any infectious
microorganisms between patients. The barrel tips sometimes contact the skin in finishing
the cervical scan, the measuring wheels are in constant contact during the 3-6 second
rolling scan of the patients back.
The use of a germicidal disposable wipe is an excellent tool to minimize the risk
of patient to patient or doctor to patient contamination. An intermediate level disinfectant
wipe (a premoistened wipe designed to be compatible with nonporous surfaces and
equipment made of plastic, rubber, aluminum and more.) is an excellent tool with which
to “wipe” down the scanner barrel tips, wheels, and handle. Medical offices perform
wipes of equipment and surfaces that will come in contact with patients. Most offices
will do a thorough “clean down” at the end of the day. A quick “wipe” of the barrels and
wheels after each patient would easily allow 2-minute contact time against enveloped/
non-enveloped viruses, bacteria, TB, fungi, multi-drug resistant organisms and
bloodborne pathogens to be destroyed.
2.4 Process Overview
Install the Tytron C-3000 software, then the scanner - follow prompts.
2.5 Recommended System Requirements
For new installations of the Tytron software, we recommend a PC running Windows 10.

C-5000 Owner’s Manual
OwnC-C-3000 Manual

Any computer running Windows 10 (Mac with Parallels app) will work.
Both desktop and laptop PC's are suitable but a screen resolution of at least 1024 x 768
is required to display the software correctly so netbooks with a smaller than 10" screen
are not recommended. The program is password protected, the data base is encrypted,
and higher levels of security can be enabled for multi-users in larger offices / schools.

3Tytron C-5000 Operating Instructions
ELEMENT A - Scanner
ELEMENT B – C-3000 Software Program
The C-5000 has one control – a “trigger” switch that alerts the monitoring computer that
a thermal scan is being performed. The “trigger” is depressed during the scan from the
lower back to the occiput. The left rolling wheel measures the total distance scanned and
must contact the skin during the “scan”.
The software acknowledges the “trigger pull” with a “BEEP.

3.1 System Components
Verify Receipt of All System Components
Your Tytron System includes the following if your Tytron serial number begins with a
5xxxx:
• Tytron Scanner (5xxxx)
• 2 USB Cables
• Tytron Scanner Holder
• Tytron Software Installation Media (Includes Calibration File, Drivers, Manual,
Clinical Interpretation Book, Articles and Poster)
• Repair Kit
System Requirements: Windows 7/8/10 · Pentium II Processor or Greater ·200MB
Free Hard Drive Space, a USB Port for installation and at least 1 USB port for scanner
connection.
• Use the supplied desktop scanner holder to avoid Tytron drops. Remember to keep
the cord out of walking paths. For drops, use the repair kit and instructions.
Adhesives should not be used for repairs.
• Perform periodic maintenance on the Tytron. The scanner barrels may accumulate
dust and dirt particles over time. For small amounts of debris in the barrels
Titronics recommends using canned air (available at most electronics stores).
Insert the spray straw approximately 1” into the barrel. Spray for three seconds.
Allow the unit to sit for 15 minutes. Do not insert the straw deeper than 1.5”
into the barrels -- touching the lenses with the straw could alter the calibration
of the precision sensors! For cleaning instructions and additional information
refer to the Appendix page XXX.
When the C5000 trigger is pulled, a white light will show on the handle of
scanner to indicate the scanner is receiving power.
• The Tytron uses the left inner wheel for distance measurement. Keep this portion
of the wheel in contact with the patient for accurate results. Do not scan over
the patient’s clothes. Ensure the scanner sensors have a direct view and contact
of the patient’s bare back.
• The Tytron should be kept in a 70° F (21 Centigrade) - 80° F (26 Centigrade)
temperature environment for optimal performance.

• Ensure the Tytron isn’t sitting directly next to a computer or other heat source.
Titronics recommends providing 10 inches of space between the Tytron and the
computer. Ensure the Tytron isn’t resting in direct sunlight or next to an open
window. Keep the Tytron away from heating and cooling vents. This will insure
balanced readings on the screen.
• Regularly backup the database. Titronics recommends weekly backups and storing
the backup on a flash drive.
