Infrared Thermometer measures the body temperature based on the infrared energy emitted
from the eardrum or the forehead. Users can quickly get measurement results after properly
positioning the probe in the ear canal or forehead. It can also be used to measure the surface
temperature of milk and water.
2. Structure
The thermometer consists of a shell, an LCD, a measure button, a beeper, an infrared
temperature sensor and a microprocessor.
3. Operating Principle
The infrared temperature sensor collects infrared energy emitted by the eardrum or the skin
surface. After being focused by a lens, the energy is converted into a temperature reading by the
thermopiles and measurement circuits.
4. Intended Use
The thermometer is intended for the measurement of human body temperatures. The forehead
mode is indicated for use by people of all ages and the eardrum mode is indicated for use by
people above three months old.
5. Contraindications
Do not use the thermometer if the ear is infected with otitis or suppuration.
