data, in a manner described in section
The connection of the sensor with the WARMIE24 app is subject to au-
tomatic interruption, if the sensor cannot connect with the smartphone for a long time
(lack of coverage). This mechanism is aimed at saving the battery, when the sensor
is not in use. Time after which the connection is interrupted, depends on whether the
sensor has measured the body temperature at least once (above 31°C). If this is the
case, the sensor maintains the connection for approx. 7 days, and if not, the sensor
breaks the connection after about one hour.
4.4 Placement of the sensor on the patient’s body
The only correct place for placing the sensor to monitor the body tem-
perature is inside the armpit (see Fig.
The sensor has been optimised for the measurement of temperatu-
re inside the armpit. Although it is possible to measure the temperature at another
anatomical location using the WARMIE sensor, it must not be used to determine the
patient’s body temperature.
The placement of the sensor at another location than the one that is
compliant with its intended use (the armpit), may lead to mistaken
temperature readings.
