DEVICE DESSCRIPTION AND INTENDED USE

The thermometer is an electronic device intended to measure the body (human) temperature. It is designed to absorb the infrared from human body to detect your temperature. It can be used with adult or pediatric patients and it can be used in household.

ABOUT BODY TEMPERATURE

A person’s normal body temperature can range from 35.5°C to 37.8°C (95.9 to 100.0) throughout the day. We recommend taking your temperature at different times during the day when you are NOT sick. This will give you a preliminary reference to know what your normal temperature is and how it fluctuated during a normal day. Then, when you feel sick or discomfort, knowing this will provide an index for a reliable diagnosis of a fever.

CONTRAINDICATIONS

Place the probe in scarred tissue or tissue compromised by skin disorders of measuring site.
Patients in trauma or treat with certain drug therapies.
Place the thermometer Probe on skin exposed to direct sunlight, fireplace heat, cold compress therapies, air conditioner flow, etc.

Forehead mode,
Object mode.

The default is Forehead mode

9. Or set the value by press ON/OFF button, the increment/ decrement is 01.10. After step9, wait for 5 seconds, the device is ready for measuring.

The offset default is zero(off).

NOTE: Offset is a personal setting to decrease variation of measurements through different body site. It can be adjusted in accordance with user’s body temperature and habit.

The device is capable to convert measured forehead temperature reading to oral temperature automatically. You can apply this mode as a reference temperature to other body sites such as rectal, axillary, and auricular. Please use other thermometers to measure your rectal, axillary or auricular temperature to confirm the temperature difference. Below table is the normal body temperature, for reference.
