Information on Non-Contact Thermometers
The LifeTemp Non-Contact Thermometer measures the infrared energy radiated from
the human body as well as objects. The energy is collected through the thermometer’s
lens and converted to a temperature value which is hence displayed.
Notes:
x
In the early stages of fever, a physiological effect called “vasoconstriction” occurs,
restricting in circulation to skin’s blood vessels resulting in a cooling effect on the
body’s extremities. Recorded temperatures, using an infrared thermometer, may
therefore be unusually low.
If the measurement result is inconsistent with the patient's condition or is
unusually low, repeat the measurement in 15 minutes.
x
Readings from different measuring sites should not be compared as the normal
body temperature varies by measurement site and hence the type of thermometer
used. Normal body temperature ranges by measurement site are:
Axillar:
34.7 - 37.7°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)
Non-Contact:
36.2 - 37.4°C (98.1 - 99.3 °F)
Body temperature also varies by time of day, being highest in the evening and
lowest about one hour before waking up.
x
Doctors recommend rectal measurement for newborn infants within the first 6
months of birth, as all other measuring methods might lead to ambiguous results. If
using a non-contact thermometer on a newborn infant, it is recommended to verify
the readings with a rectal measurement.
LifeTemp Non-Contact Thermometer Components
Unpacking Your LifeTemp Non-Contact Thermometer
Remove the thermometer from its carton and examine the contents (Non-Contact
Thermometer, User manual and two AAA batteries) ensuring all items are present and
undamaged. Report anything missing or damaged to the point of purchase.
Retain the packing for use in shipping or storing the unit.
