Frequently asked questions
Does this thermometer feature rapid measurement?
Yes, the ADC Adtemp 419 is engineered for rapid digital readout, utilizing advanced peak-hold technology to quickly stabilize and display the temperature. A distinctive audible alert signals when the measurement is complete. This makes monitoring efficient in clinical and household settings.
Response times are notably fast:
| Measurement Site | Response Time |
|---|---|
| Rectal | 10 to 15 seconds |
| Oral | 10 to 20 seconds |
| Axillary (Underarm) | 15 to 25 seconds |
Crucially, this speed is achieved while meeting stringent accuracy standards (0.1°F / 0.2°C) as required by ASTM E1112.
Is the Adtemp 419 splash resistant?
Yes, the ADC Adtemp 419 Digital Hypothermia Thermometer is splash resistant. This design feature contributes to the device’s durability and simplifies cleaning and maintenance for hygienic use.
Is the battery life long?
Yes, the ADC Adtemp 419 offers long-lasting battery life, supporting thousands of measurements before replacement is necessary.
- High Capacity: The installed, replaceable 1.55 V (LR41) battery is rated for exceptional longevity, capable of providing up to 5,000 measurements.
- Power Conservation: To further conserve energy, the thermometer is equipped with an Auto-Off function that activates after approximately three minutes of non-use.
Does the thermometer have an audible alert?
Yes, the ADC Adtemp 419 includes a distinctive audible beep to confirm important events and enhance usability. This alert system signals two primary operational statuses:
- Measurement Completion: A beep sounds when the temperature reading is finalized (typically within 10 to 20 seconds for oral measurements).
- Power Status: An alert confirms when the unit is successfully powered on or off.
Does this thermometer store the last reading?
Yes, the ADC Adtemp 419 includes a memory function that stores the last recorded temperature reading. This feature allows for easy tracking and comparison of measurements over time.
Is there an automatic shut-off feature?
Yes, the ADC Adtemp 419 includes an automatic shut-off feature designed to conserve battery life. The unit powers down automatically after approximately three minutes of inactivity. This contributes to the thermometer’s impressive battery life of up to 5,000 uses.
Does this thermometer meet all medical accuracy standards?
Yes, the ADC Adtemp 419 is engineered for professional reliability and high accuracy, meeting several key medical standards.
Key compliance and specifications include:
- Accuracy Requirements: The thermometer adheres to the strict standards outlined in ASTM E1112 for intermittent thermometers.
- Precision: It provides high-precision readings with a specified accuracy of 0.1°F or 0.2°C.
- European Compliance: The device is CE Marked, confirming its adherence to European Union health and safety requirements.
- Material Safety: For patient safety, the materials used are certified to be free from natural rubber latex and phthalates.
What is included with the thermometer?
The ADC Adtemp 419 Digital Hypothermia Thermometer is ready to use upon delivery. The standard single unit package includes:
- The ADC Adtemp 419 Digital Hypothermia Thermometer unit.
- An integral scabbard-type carry case for safe storage and protection.
- A pre-installed, long-life 1.55V (LR41) battery that provides power for up to 5,000 measurements.
Important Note: For hygienic use and to maintain the thermometer’s accuracy, compatible Adtemp Thermometer Sheaths (such as the #416 series) are required accessories and must be purchased separately.
Does the thermometer have an extended temperature range?
Yes, the ADC Adtemp 419 is specifically engineered as an extended-range digital stick thermometer. This unique capability allows it to accurately measure a broad spectrum of human body temperatures, making it suitable for monitoring conditions such as hypothermia.
Key details regarding its measurement range:
- Fahrenheit Range: 78.8°F to 111.0°F
- Celsius Range: 26.0°C to 43.9°C
This device uses peak-hold technology for fast measurement (oral response time is typically 10 to 20 seconds) and meets stringent accuracy requirements under the ASTM E1112 standards.
Are protective thermometer sheaths required?
Yes, protective thermometer sheaths are required for maintaining sanitary and hygienic measurement protocols when using the ADC Adtemp 419.
- Sheaths are essential for preventing cross-contamination, especially in clinical or multi-user settings.
- This thermometer is designed for use specifically with Adtemp Thermometer Sheaths (models #416-50, #416-100, or #416-1000).
- Important: Sheaths are typically sold separately. Only the Package of 12 variant includes a small number of probe sheaths; the standard single unit does not.
