New Zeal ACT8001 Antimicrobial Tympanic Ear Thermometer
Since 1888, GH Zeal has been at the forefront of thermometry innovation, and the introduction of the Zeal ACT8001 Antimicrobial Tympanic Ear Thermometer marks another milestone. Building on the success of the ACT8000, which was widely adopted by the NHS, the ACT8001 offers significant advancements.
A study revealed that over 60% of thermometers carry pathogens harmful to health [1]. In response, the new Zeal ACT8001 has been tested to ISO 22196:2011 standard, demonstrating a reduction in Escherichia coli by >99.99% and MRSA by >99.93%. Furthermore, the ACT8001 was tested to ISO 21702:2019 and we have seen a reduction in SARS-CoV-2 on the surface of >25.87% after 2 hour and >43.77% after 24 hours when compared to a control.
A key feature of the ACT8001 Tympanic Ear Thermometer is the integration of Biomaster antimicrobial technology from Addmaster. This innovative technology offers continuous, built-in product protection against harmful bacteria, ensuring the thermometer remains hygienic throughout its use, complimenting existing cleaning protocols. The incorporation of Biomaster technology makes the ACT8001 a great addition to environments where hygiene is critical.
Designed specifically for professional use, Zeal tympanic thermometers are extensively utilised throughout the NHS, including hospitals, doctors' surgeries, nursing homes, field hospitals, and emergency services. These thermometers are designed to optimise consumables budgets by eliminating the need for single-use plastic thermometers and avoiding the purchase of inferior quality products at higher prices.
Incorporating the latest technology, the ACT8001 boasts a wealth of advanced features, ensuring accuracy, reliability, and ease of use. The hands-free probe cover installation and disposal system specifically helps to minimise the risk of healthcare-acquired infections. Replacement probe covers are available at a low cost, further enhancing the product's value. The ACT8001 complies with European Standard EN 12470-5, ASTM E 1965-98, and is CE 0123, FDA, and TUV certified.
The key features of the Zeal ACT8001 include an extended measuring range suitable for standard or hypothermic patients, an ergonomic design for use in hospitals and ambulances, and a protective cradle with a 20-piece probe cover dispenser. The thermometer offers hygienic hands-free probe cover installation and disposal, a probe cover detection system, and a one-second measurement time. Its clinically proven accuracy, advanced sensor technology, and confirmation system ensure reliable readings. Additionally, the thermometer features a large backlit display, 10 multi-recall memories, dual scale °C/°F switchable, auto shut-off, and considerable cost savings with low-cost replacement probe covers.
The Zeal ACT8001 is factory calibrated for accuracy, and Zeal also offers a Black Body Infrared Calibration Tester with a specially designed adaptor to ensure continued calibration accuracy. This device can also check other makes of infrared thermometers.
Zeal medical products are priced to help the NHS and medical frontline responders reduce expenditure on essential diagnostic equipment, making the ACT8001 not only a technologically advancement instrument, but also a cost-effective solution for healthcare providers.
