I. Overview

HT130003 / HT130042 HT130030 / HT130043

User Manual

The CorTemp provides a complete electronic thermometer system that is easy to use and provides accurate core body temperature measurements (± 0.1°C). The system uses an ingestible, wireless sensor, which transmits a signal via a near-field magnetic link to the data recorder. This system has obvious advantages over a "wired probe", for monitoring individuals performing strenuous activities or working in hazardous environments.

The recorder captures the core body temperature of single or multiple subjects while participating in sports, working in hazardous conditions, or participating in research activities in two different modes of monitoring / data collection:

 AUTO RUN MODE – CorTemp

while data is collected at user programmable intervals.

 SPORTS MODE – CorTemp

individual readings of single or multiple players.

III. CorTemp® Data Recorder – Standard Menu

The CorTemp Temperature Sensor and converts the signal frequency into digital temperature data. This temperature data is displayed on the recorder LCD screen with a resolution of 0.01 degree. The recorder operates within environments between 10 and 50 degrees Celsius. The temperature / heart rate is sampled at user programmable intervals and displayed for real time monitoring, while simultaneously saving to memory for future download and analysis.

The recorder can be programmed as a standalone unit with the keypad, or it can be programmed by the CorTrack from your PC / Laptop. The recorder can be programmed with up to 99 sensor calibration numbers and record / store up to 25,000 readings. The recorder can be used as an ambulatory unit (AUTO RUN MODE) to collect temperature / heart rate data for extended periods from one subject, or as a handheld unit (SPORTS MODE) to collect individual temperature / heart rate readings from multiple players, easily switching back and forth

between players (active sensors). The data, when downloaded, displays the active sensor (player) number, the date of the collection period, and time correlated temperature / heart rate readings.

A. Programming the Data Recorder – Standard Menu

A.1. Battery Installation

The recorder operates on a 9V alkaline battery. Energizer of battery are recommended. The battery will provide approximately 110 hours of continuous recording at 10 second intervals and can last up to 336 hours (14 days), depending on the sampling interval.

To install the battery in the recorder, do the following:

1. Press down on the battery compartment release button; while pressing down, slide the

battery compartment cover towards the bottom of the detector. (Figure 1)

2. Connect the battery connector to the 9V battery. (Figure 2)

3. Insert the battery into the battery compartment. (Figure 3)

4. Attach the battery cover by aligning the cover with the housing, then slide the cover up

until it latches closed. (Figure 4)

Before administering the sensor, be sure to review the Intended Use / Contraindications / Warnings for the HQI Temperature Sensor. NOTE: The sensor should be administered

at least 4 – 6 hours before monitoring / data collection begins.

To administer the HQI Temperature Sensor, do the following:

1. Remove the magnet from the HQI Temperature Sensor.

2. Verify the sensor has an active signal using the SENSOR TEST function.

3. Remove the sensor Warranty Seal.

4. Give the sensor to the subject (player) as per your organization's protocol

B.4. Use of More than One Sensor

In some applications it may be necessary to monitor core body temperature even after one temperature sensor has passed from the body. When using more than one sensor, be absolutely certain that the previous active sensor has passed from the body.

To verify that a sensor has passed from the body, do the following:

1. Use the SENSOR TEST function to verify that the sensor has passed from the body.

2. Move the recorder to several positions near the abdomen of the subject (player).

3. If the sensor has passed from the body or no longer has an active signal, the screen

will display SENSOR OFF.

NOTE: If two active sensors of the same system frequency are in the subject (player) at the same time, the resulting temperature recordings will be erroneous.

B.5. Event Markers in AUTO RUN MODE

Each numeric key of the keypad may be correlated to an event. Whenever the subject (player) experiences a specific event, such as drinking cold liquids or an activity, an event marker can be tagged to the next collected temperature reading by pressing the appropriate numeric key. For example, key 1 could be "Cold Drink," key 2 could be "Running," etc. Each time a key is pressed, the recorder screen will display the event number entered, and event markers are recorded to memory and appear in the downloaded data. (Refer to Appendix 3: Data Interpretation Key).

B.6. Signal Interference

Erratic readings may be observed when within close proximity to PC / Laptops, CRTs, Digital Phone Systems, and other equipment (such as NMR / MRI machines) generating large electromagnetic fields (EMF).

Calibration

The recorder contains a very accurate quartz crystal oscillator. This oscillator is accurate to 3 parts in 1,000,000. As it ages, it will drift somewhat and could cause your recorder to give inaccurate temperature readings. For this reason, we suggest you return your recorder to the factory every 12 months for calibration. There will be a charge for this calibration service.

Calibration service will also adjust the reception tuning components and perform functionality testing to ensure your recorder meets factory specifications.
