Additionally it is also necessary that the temperature probes have been at a temperature reasonably close to that to be measured for a time period long enough in order to ensure the temperature values are stable For example if you have carried the temperature probes in a vehicle that was parked in the sunshine during summer time you should wait for at least 30 minutes with the probes at ambient temperature in the environment where the measurements will take place or the readings obtained will be anomalously high until the thermal equilibrium is achieved Although the TherCom device has been used for many years in medical applications and its accuracy and safety has been verified by independent and impartial bodies following international standards if the temperature readings obtained seem anomalous please ensure that you have followed correctly the instructions for use In case the problem is not solved contact the customer support service of Innovatec The temperature measurements using the TherCom system can be carried out in two ways real time measurements where the measurements are visualized at the same time they are acquired or off line mode where the measurements are stored during the monitoring in the device memory and the temperature values are later downloaded to a computer for its visualization and analysis These two functioning modes are described next Real time monitoring During the real time monitoring of t
