Screen Display Messages:
• If Ear or Forehead temperature is above 42.9°C / 109.2°F or
below 32.0°C / 89.6°F, screen will display HI or LO respectively.
• If Ambient temperature is above 40.0°C / 104.0°F or below
10.0°C / 50.0°F when taking Ear or Forehead temperature,
screen will display ERR.
• If Ambient temperature is above 40.0°C / 104.0°F or
below 5.0°C / 41.0°F, screen will correctly display HI or LO
respectively.
Clinical Repeatability:
• Clinical repeatability characteristics and procedures are
available from Brother Max on request.
Compliance:
• This infrared thermometer device:
• Conforms to BS EN 12470-5:2003 Clinical Thermometers
– part 5: Performance of infra-red ear thermometers (with
maximum device)
• Meets requirements established in ASTM standard E1965-98
• Full responsibility for the conformance of the product to these
standards is assumed by Brother Max.
Calibration:
• The infrared thermometer device is initially calibrated at the
time of manufacture.
• If the thermometer is used and cared for according to the
instructions in this user manual, periodic re-adjustment is not
required.
• If at any time you question the accuracy, contact Brother Max.
Manufacturing Date:
• Manufacturing date is indicated by the LOT number located on
the inside of the battery cover (see Fig.14). To interpret the LOT
number in to an actual date, look at just the first two letters
whereby the first letter is the year and the second letter is the
date, whereby:
• 1
st
Letter D = 2010
E = 2011
F = 2012 etc.
• 2
nd
Letter A = January B = February
C = March etc.
So, in the example shown in Fig.14 where “DA” is stated, the
manufacturing date is January 2010.
Your Family Members’ Normal Temperature Range
Whilst normal temperature ranges by age are shown on page 7
of this manual, every member of the family will have a slightly
different ‘normal’ temperature range.
So it’s a good idea to build up a picture of those normal ranges for
each member of the family using your regular thermometer, no
matter what type or brand of thermometer you use.
This will help you and your medical practitioner when a family
member is unwell as you will have a far more reliable benchmark to
compare against.
To do this, take temperature readings for each member of your family:
• At three different times of the day, such as 8am, 1pm and 6pm,
but always with at least five hour intervals;
• Over five different days;
• Always from the same body part;
• Always using the same thermometer;
• Always in the same room in your home.
Notes: Do not self-diagnose.
The use of any thermometer is not intended as a substitute for consultation
with a physician. If the temperature of a child under 6 months old reaches
40.0°C / 104.0°F or more, consult a doctor immediately. Note that this danger
level drops the older the patient becomes.
