healthy forehead temperature to correctly determine the temperature.
Body temperature runs approximately from 95.9°F to100°F(35.5
℃
-37.8
℃
).
To determine if one has a fever, compare the temperature detected with
the person's normal temperature. A rise over the reference body
temperature of 1.8
℉
(1
℃
) or more is generally an indication of fever.
Different measurement sites (rectal, axillary, oral, frontal, auricular) will
give different readings. Therefore it is wrong to compare the measurement
taken from different sites.
The following are typical temperatures for adults, based on different
measurement sites:

①
Use an alcohol swab or cotton tissue moistened with alcohol (70%
Isopropyl) to clean the thermometer casing thoroughly
,.
The wiping
process preferably lasts 15 seconds.
②
Allow at least 5 minutes drying time before taking a temperature.
③
After cleaning, if the device is not visually clean when observed with
magnification and adequate lighting, please repeat the clean steps
above.
Note 1. The cleaning steps above has been validated according to the FDA Guidance,
“Reprocessing Medical Devices in Health Care Settings: Validation Methods and
Labeling”.
Note 2: Ensure that no liquid enters the interior of the device. Never use abrasive cleaning
agents, thinners or benzene for cleaning and never immerse the device in water or other
cleaning liquids.
Care the probe
1.
The probe (comprising a temperature sensor and a distance sensor) is the
most intricate part of the thermometer, and should be kept clean and intact to
acquire accurate readings. Use the following method to clean the probe:
Gently swab the surface of the probe using a cotton bud soaked in > with 70%
isopropyl.
