• This instrument may only be used for the purposes described in this
booklet. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage caused
by incorrect application.
•
Never immerse this instrument in water or other liquids. For
cleaning please follow the instructions in the «Cleaning and
Disinfecting» section.
• Do not use the instrument if you think it is damaged or notice
anything unusual.
• Never open the instrument.
• A basic physiological effect called vasoconstriction can occur in the
early stages of fever, resulting in a cool skin effect. The recorded
temperature using this thermometer can, therefore, be unusually
low.
• If the measurement result is not consistent with the patient’s
finding or unusually low, repeat the measurement every 15 minutes
or double check the result by another core body temperature
measurement.
• This instrument comprises sensitive components and must be
treated with caution. Observe the storage and operating conditions
described in the «Technical Specifications » section.
