• Accumulation of ear wax on the sensor can affect the measuring accu -
racy and result in the spread of infection among the thermometer users.
It is extremely important for each measurement to observe the rules
of hygiene and keep the sensor clean. To clean the sensor, follow the
instructions in the section 10 «Cleaning». Every time before starting
measurement, please make sure that the measuring sensor lens is not
contaminated.
• After cleaning the measuring sensor lens with a disinfectant solution,
wait at least several minutes before further measurements in order to
ensure the initial operating temperature.
The thermometer takes temperature by measuring infrared heat generated by
ear drum and surrounding tissues. Temperature measurement should be carried
out by placing the tip in the external ear canal above the ear drum, and not over
the surface of nearby anatomical areas. Failure to do so may result in excessive
readings.
Body temperature measurement in the external ear canal ensures accurate read-
ings due to the same temperature of blood flowing towards the ear drum and
the brain's temperature regulation center – hypothalamus. Therefore, changes
in body temperature are faster and more accurately recorded in the external ear
canal than in any other body area.
