The range of normal varies from person to person and can be influenced by many factors such as time of day, level
of activity, medications and gender.
11. HOW TO USE
11.1 Real Time Clock S etting
When use thermometer for the first time, please set the parameters of the thermometer. With the thermometer
off, press and hold
BUTTON to enter into setting mode for 3 seconds.
1. Set the time format
The device can display the time in either an AM/PM (12-hour) or a 24:00 (24-hour)
format. Press and release TEST BUTTON to select the format. With the preferred time
format on the display, press
BUTTON, the Hour figure is flashing automatically.
2. Set the hour
Press and release the TEST BUTTON to advance one hour until the correct hour appears.
After the hour is set, press
BUTTON, the Minute figure is flashing automatically.
3. Set the minute
Press and release the TEST BUTTON to advance one minute until the correct minute appears. After
the minute is set, press
BUTTON, the Year figure is flashing automatically.
4. Set the year
Press and release the TEST BUTTON to advance one year until the correct year appears. After the
year is set, press
BUTTON, the Month figure will appear.
5. Set the month
Press and release the TEST BUTTON to advance one month until the correct month appears.
After the month is set, press
BUTTON, the Date figure is flashing automatically.
6. Set the date
Press and release the TEST BUTTON to advance one day until the correct date appears.
After the date is set, press
BUTTON to exit the setting mode.
9. USE WARNINGS
The device performance can be compromised if one or more of the following events occur:
• Operation outside the manufacturer’s stated temperature and humidity range.
• Storage outside the manufacturer’s stated temperature and humidity range.
• Patient temperature is below ambient temperature
• Do not bend, drop the thermometer.
• Do not boil probe to disinfect.
• Do not disassemble, except in case of battery replacement.
• The thermometer should only be used under the supervision of an adult. Prohibit children from biting,
hitting and removing the battery cover, dislodging and potentially swallowing the battery.
• Do not use the device in case of strong electromagnetic field such as microwave oven or cell phone.
10. ADVANTAGES
Infrared Ear Thermometer measures core body temperature, which is the temperature of a body’s vital organs.
Vital Organs
Fig.3
(See Figure 3). Ear temperatures accurately reflect core body temperatures since the eardrum is
in the cranial cavity and is not affected by the environment. The eardrum shares blood supply with
the hypothalamus (part of the brain.) Therefore, body temperature changes are reflected sooner
in the ear than they are in other parts of the body.
Clinical studies have shown that the ear is an excellent site for temperature measurement because
temperatures taken in the ear reflect the body’s core temperature. Body temperature is regulated
by the hypothalamus, which shares the same blood supply as the tympanic membrane. Changes
in core body temperature are usually seen sooner at the tympanic membrane than at other sites,
such as the rectum, mouth or under the arm.
Advantages of taking temperatures at the ear versus other sites:
Axillary: temperature readings only reflect skin temperature which may not indicate the internal
body temperature.
Rectal: temperatures often lag significantly behind internal body temperature changes, especially at times of
rapidly changing temperatures.
Oral: temperatures are often influenced by eating, drinking, thermometer placement, breathing through the
mouth, or the inability of the person to close their mouth completely.
10.1 Body temperature
• Body temperature can vary from 35°C to 38°C. The generally accepted “normal” temperature is 37.0°C.
• Usually your temperature is lower in the morning than in the afternoon. Normal temperature varies
according to the location of the temperature reading.
Normal body temperature is a range. The following table shows that ranges of normal also vary by site. Therefore,
readings from different body locations, even taken at the same time, should not be directly compared.
Normal ranges by body locations:
Axillary
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
Ear 35.8 - 38.0°C 96.4 -100.4°F
Also, a person’s normal temperature range tends to decrease with age.
The following table shows normal ranges by age:
0-2 Years 36.4 - 38.0°C
97.5 - 100.4°F
3-10 Years 36.1 - 37.8°C 97.0 - 100.0°F
11-65 Years 35.9 - 37.6°C 96.6 - 99.7°F
Over 65 Years 35.8 - 37.5°C 96.4 - 99.5°F
