Genius 2 Checker/ Calibrator

The Covidien thermometry division will launch their new Genius? 2 checker/calibrator in the first quarter of 2009.

The new checker/calibrator is designed to work with all Genius? 2 thermometers and contains two independently controlled infrared calibration targets.

Similar to the current Field Checker the new calibrator is a portable unit with displays in 16 languages, and a USB port to generate and download test reports.

The Genius 2 checker/calibrator will firstly assess the calibration of the Genius? 2 thermometer. On assessment the checker/calibrator will either pass or continue to automatically recalibrate the thermometer to within ASTM and CEN limits of +/- 0.2^oC. On screen instruction will guide the user through each stage of the calibration process.

Temperature Set Points

Low target: 32.2^oC +/- 0.3^oC
High target: 40.6^oC +/- 0.3^oC

Target Temp Accuracy

Initial Limit +/- 0.03^oC (0.5^oF)
Post 1 year : 1 +/- 0.06^oC (0.10^oF)

Warm-up Time Before Use

All Genius 2 thermometer accounts which currently use a Genius 2 checker will be notified by your Covidien account manager to arrange a convenient date for your checker to be upgraded to a calibrator.
