Axillar use:
Put the tip of the thermometer at the armpit contacting the skin. Keep the thermometer
parallel with the person’s body and put the arm over the breast (this makes the sensor to
be protected from outside air). Keep it in this position for 60 seconds. After that the
procedure will be the same as above for oral use.
C.
Rectal use:
This should be used when oral or axillar measuring is inconvenient. It is not recommended
for children.

o
C) it will

C and over 43
o
C.

How to clean the thermometer
The thermometer sensor can be cleaned with water and soap or a mixture of alcohol /
