ASTM E 1965 Document Information:
Title
Standard Specification for Infrared Thermometers for Intermittent Determination of Patient Temperature
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Aug 10, 1998
Scope:
This specification covers electronic instruments intended for
intermittent measuring and monitoring of patient temperatures by
means of detecting the intensity of thermal radiation between the
subject of measurement and the sensor.
The specification addresses assessing subject's body internal
temperature through measurement of thermal emission from the ear
canal. Performance requirements for noncontact temperature
measurement of skin are also provided.
The specification sets limits for laboratory accuracy and
requires determination and disclosure of clinical accuracy of the
covered instruments.
Performance and storage limits under various environmental
conditions, requirements for labeling and test procedures are
established.
NOTE 1—For electrical safety consult Underwriters Laboratory
Standards.2
NOTE 2—For electromagnetic emission requirements and tests refer
to CISPR 11: 1990 Lists of Methods of Measurement of
Electromagnetic Disturbance Characteristics of Industrial,
Scientific, and Medical (ISM) Radiofrequency
Equipment.3
The values of quantities stated in SI units are to be regarded
as the standard. The values of quantities in parentheses are not in
SI and are optional.
The following precautionary caveat pertains only to the test
method portion, Section 6, of this specification: This standard
does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any,
associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of
this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices
and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to
use.
