This unit has been through RFU code 10 and fails the high temp cutout check before reaching the minimum threshold. While running in System State mode, you can hear and intermittent buzzing noise coming from the manifold area. It seems like while this buzzing noise is present, system flow nearly doubles that of the other flow sensors. The manifold temp seems to also lag behind p1/p2/p3 by about 3F. Has anyone experienced this?
As Stryker sold this product to 3T Medical in July, I'm having difficulty getting help from them. Stryker has removed all links to the product. I'm thinking I need to replace the manifold, but again, ordering parts is taking forever since we now have to enroll as 3T's customer! (You'd think the onus would be on them to make that transition happen.)
I am trying to do a check on on some new units and I can't get the battery to kick in since it is a part of the operational verification. I tried just unplugging the unit while it was on, or trying to press the power "button" while it was not plugged in.
Any help it appreciated. Thank you. RE: Stryker - Altrix
Hi:
We have had the Exergen TAT 5000 temporal Thermometers in our hospital for several years without many problems. We had to send a few back for repairs (say 1 or so per month). Now that the units are cleaning them more often because of Covid, and because they are having troubles sourcing the usual Cavi-wipes that were used to clean these, we are seeing about 15 to 20 per month with problems. Some we can revive, but most we have to ship back. Are others running into similar problems?
Also: Our Emergency department wants to go to a non-contact infrared thermometers. Does nay one have a brand they can recommend? RE: Exergen - Temporal Scanner - TAT 5000
I wanted to know what your experience was with this product in terms of longevity. How long does it last before any issues or defects arise? RE: Bard - Criticore
Most of our TAT vs Axillary temperatures are about 0.3-0.4 degrees different but occasionally get a more varied comparison. Is it most likely due to user error?
