This thermometer is not intended to interpret hypothermic temperatures.
Do not allow children to take their temperatures unattended.
Do not modify this equipment without authorization of manufacturer.
Parents/guardians should call the pediatrician upon noticing any untoward sign(s) or
symptom(s). For example, a child who exhibits irritability, vomiting, diarrhea, dehydration,
seizure, changes in appetite or activity, even in the absence of fever, or who exhibits a low
temperature, may still need to receive medical attention.
Children who are on antibiotics, analgesics, or antipyretics should not be assessed solely on
temperature readings to determine the severity of their illness.
Temperature elevation may signal a serious illness, especially in neonates and infants, or
in adults who are old, frail, or have a weakened immune system. Please seek professional
advice immediately when there is a temperature elevation and if you are taking temperature
of:
• neonates and infants under 3 months especially if fever exceeds 37.5°C for children less
than 3 months of age
• over 60 years of age
• having diabetes mellitus or a weakened immune system (e.g. HIV positive, cancer
chemotherapy, chronic steroid treatment, splenectomy)
• bedridden (e.g. nursing home patient, stroke, chronic illness, recovering from surgery)
• a transplant patient (e.g. liver, heart, lung, kidney)
Fever may be blunted or even absent in elderly patients.
