.
10.For the next measurement wait until the «°C» / «°F» icon is
flashing and follow steps 5 - 7 above.
11.Press and hold the START/IO button

for 3 seconds to turn
off the device; otherwise the device will automatically switch off
after approx. 60 seconds.
 Patients and thermometer should stay in similar room
condition for at least 30 minutes.
 To ensure accurate readings, wait at least 30 sec. after 3-5
continuous measurements.
 It is essential that a new undamaged probe cover
BS
is
used for each measurement. Therefore, this device reminds
the user to take off the used probe cover when turning off the
device. The «probe cover» icon
AM
is displayed and the probe
LED light will flash for 3 seconds. For cleaning, follow the
instructions in the «Cleaning and disinfecting» section.
 The device detects if there is no probe cover placed on the
measuring sensor when a measurement is performed; a probe
cover icon
AM
and a red LCD backlight will alert the patient
accordingly.
 After cleaning the measuring sensor
1
with alcohol, wait 5
minutes before taking the next measurement, in order to
allow the thermometer to reach its operating reference
temperature.
 10 short beeps and a red LCD backlight alert the patient that he/
she may have a temperature equal to or higher than 37.5 °C.
 For an infant, it is best to have the child lying flat with his/her
head sideways so the ear is facing upwards. For an older child
or adult, it is best to stand behind and slightly to the side of the
patient.
 Always take the temperature in the same ear, since the
temperature readings may be different from ear to ear.
 In the following situations it is recommended that three
temperatures in the same ear be taken and the highest one
taken as the reading:
 New born infants in the first 100 days.

Children under three years of age with a compromised
immune system and for whom the presence or absence of
fever is critical.
 When the user is learning how to use the thermometer for
the first time until he/she has familiarized himself/herself with
the device and obtains consistent readings.

If the measurement is surprisingly low.
 Don't take a measurement while or immediately after nursing a
baby.
 Don't use the thermometer in high humidity environments.

Patients should not drink, eat or exercise before/while taking
the measurement.

Doctors recommend rectal measurement for newborn infants
within the first 6 months, as all other measuring methods might
lead to ambiguous results.
 Readings from different measuring sites should not be
compared as the normal body temperature varies by
measuring site and time of day , being highest in the evening
and lowest about one hour before waking up.
 Normal body temperature ranges:

Axillar: 34.7 - 37.3 °C / 94.5 - 99.1 °F
 Oral: 35.5 - 37.5 °C / 95.9 - 99.5 °F

Rectal: 36.6 - 38.0 °C / 97.9 - 100.4 °F
 Microlife IR 310: 35.4 - 37.4 °C / 95.7 - 99.3 °F
