Section V — Instructions for Use
Peak Select System
The Genius 2 Tympanic Thermometer and Base 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 Tympanic Thermometer
and Base uses 100 readings.
Equivalence Modes
Genius 2 Tympanic Thermometer and Base is an ear canal thermometer for neonates, newborns, children, and adults.
Prior to the introduction of tympanic thermometry, patient temperatures were measured in the mouth (oral), in the rectum
(rectal), 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 Tympanic
Thermometer and Base compensates for the average difference in temperature at each of these sites by adjusting the
displayed temperature.
