EBME Forums Forums Management Medical Equipment Management Do you have an opinion on thermometers?

Quinny, I have been (reliably) informed that the turnaround for the exergen scanners should be 28 days!
The only thing that concerns me is the cleaning protocols. If alcohol wipes are used, how long do you have to wait between patients for the probe tip to be dry enough for an accurate reading? And will they actually be cleaned between patients?
It does look good though and it seems easy to use.

Could I ask which trusts have the Exergen TAT Scanner in use and what their infection control policy is? Alcohol wipes, probe covers,...?
