ADDITIONAL USES:
tia NC-9900 can also be used to measure the temperature of a baby-bottle,
bath, or room temperature (by using the surface temperature function). This
function is in accordance with the directive 89/336/EEC Electromagnetic
Compatibility.
ADVANTAGES OF TEMPORAL ARTERY (TA) TEMPERATURE
Infrared arterial temperature can be measured using a device placed near
the forehead, in the temporal artery region. It has been demonstrated that
this relatively new method of measuring temperature is more precise than
tympanic thermometry and better tolerated than rectal thermometry. The
temporal artery is close to the skin’s surface and maintains a constant, regular
blood flow. It is one of the main arteries in the body linked to the aorta via the
carotid artery.
tia NC-9900 thermometer has been designed to produce an instant forehead
temperature reading without any contact to the body. The efficiency, speed
and comfort of taking a temperature in this way make it ideal.
