The individual being measured should be indoors for 30 minutes before taking a
measurement. External temperature can impact skin temperature.
This TempleSwipe™ Thermometer consists of high-quality precision parts.
DO NOT drop the instrument. Protect it from severe impact and shock.
Please consult your physician if you see symptoms such as unexplained
irritability, vomiting, diarrhea, dehydration, changes in appetite or activity,
seizure, muscle pain, shivering, stiff neck, pain when urinating, etc.
Even in the absence of fever, those who exhibit a normal temperature may still
need to receive medical attention. People who are on antibiotics, analgesics,
or antipyretics should not be assessed solely on temperature readings to
determine the severity of their illness.
Temperature elevation may signal a serious illness, especially in neonates and
infants, or in adults who are old, frail, or have a weakened immune system.
Please seek professional advice immediately when there is a temperature
elevation and if you are taking temperature on:
• Neonates and infants under 3 months (Consult your physician immediately if
the temperature exceeds 99.4 °F [37.4 °C])
• Individuals over 60 years of age (Fever may be blunted or even absent in
elderly Individuals.)
• Individuals having diabetes mellitus or a weakened immune system (e.g.,
HIV positive, cancer chemotherapy, chronic immunosuppressant treatment,
splenectomy)
• Individuals who are bedridden due to stroke, chronic illness, surgical recovery,
paraplegia, quadriplegia.
• A transplant recipient (e.g., liver, heart, lung, kidney)
It is important to know each individual’s normal temperature when they are well.
This is the only way to accurately diagnose a fever. Take multiple readings when
healthy to determine normal temperature.
