ABOUT NORMAL BODY TEMPERATURE &
FEVER
Body temperature can vary from one individual person to the
next. It also varies according to the location on the body and time
of day. Fever indicates that the body temperature is higher than
normal. This symptom may be caused by infection, overdressing
or immunization. Some people may not experience fever even
when they are ill. These include, but are not limited to, infants
younger than 3 months old, persons with compromised immune
systems, persons taking antibiotics, steroids or antipyretics
(aspirin, ibuprofen, acetaminophen), or persons with certain
chronic illnesses. Please consult your physician if you are
concerned about your body temperature readings.
MAINTENANCE
● FORA FocusTemp has no user serviceable internal parts except
battery replacement.
● Always replace Sensor Cap (or place in cradle) when not in use.
● Store in a dry location free of dust and away from direct sunlight.
CLEANING AND DISINFECTION
● Use a soft dry cloth to clean the plastic casing or a cloth
dampened with a solution of water and mild detergent.
Occasionally, 70% isopropanol solution may be used. Never
submerge in liquid.
● The sensor window is recessed to assist in keeping it clean
and free of debris. Inspect the lens and remove any debris.
Smudges may be cleaned by gently wiping the window with
a small foam-tipped swab (non-linting) moistened with 70%
alcohol. Wait 10 minutes prior to taking your temperature.
