Holding the thermometer for too long in the hand
before taking a measurement can cause the device
to warm up. This means the measurement could be
incorrect.
Patients and the thermometer should stay in
steady-state room condition for at least 30 minutes.
Before placing the thermometer sensor onto the
forehead, remove dirt, hair, or sweat from the
forehead area. Wait 10 minutes after cleaning
before taking measurement.
Use an alcohol swab to carefully clean the sensor
and wait for 5 minutes before taking a measure-
ment on another patient. Wiping the forehead with
a warm or cool cloth may impact your reading. It is
advised to wait 10 minutes before taking a reading.
In the following situations it is recommended that
3-5 measurements in the same location be taken
and the highest one taken as the reading:
Newborn infants in the first 100 days.
Children under three years of age with a compro-
mised immune system and for whom the presence
or absence of fever is critical.
When the user is learning how to use the thermom-
eter for the first time until he/she has familiarized
himself/herself with the instrument and obtains
consistent readings.
Care and cleaning
Use an alcohol swab or cotton swab moistened with
70% alcohol to clean the thermometer casing and
the measuring probe. After the alcohol has complet-
ely dried out, you can take a new measurement.
