Why is a CVK necessary?

Calibration verification is a commonly required part of routine quality assurance programs, and also is used if a question is raised about the accuracy of a particular thermometer. Actual recalibration of an Exergen thermometer is never required unless it has been physically damaged or experiences component failure, in which case the calibration verification test identifies the problem device, which then is returned to the factory for repair.

What is in the CVK-3TGT?
A special TAT-5000S Certified Master (CM) reference thermometer of the same calibration type (Arterial or Oral) in use by the institution, 3 portable hand-held reference blackbodies, 3 AC plug-in adapter for long term use, 3 9-volt alkaline batteries for portable use, and a rugged storage case.

Who uses it?
The main users are biomedical/clinical engineering, blood donor and pheresis units (in the United States, blood donor and pheresis units are required by the American Association of Blood Banks to verify thermometers on a daily basis), and many nursing units where accurate temperature is critical such as hematology/oncology, and bone marrow and organ transplant units. Exergen thermometers can quickly be checked for calibration accuracy using the portable handheld blackbody and master thermometer.
