home. Always consult your doctor. Self-diagnosis of measurement results and self-treatment are
dangerous. Pregnant women should consult a doctor before using the thermometer. Please consult
your doctor when there is a temperature rise on:
- Neonates and babies under 3 months
- Patients over 60 year old
- Immunocompromised patients
- Bedridden patients
- Transplanted patients
Please consult your doctor if other symptoms (vomiting, diarrhea, pain, shivering, stiff neck….) occur
even if there is no fever.
This device is a precision thermometer measuring equipment liable to be understood by lay user but
it still should be handled with care.
General safety
- Do not use the device on premature babies (babies born before term)
- Do not use this device for purpose other than the one described in this manual
- Keep the device out the reach of children. Children must not play, swallow or eat the device.
- This device is for personal use at home only.
- The sensor lens is fragile: do not touch it with your fingers.
- Do not expose the device to humidity or water. In case the unit is wet, wait until it is dry.
- To clean the lens, use a soft dry cloth to wipe it or a cotton bud. For cleaning and
disinfection, please report to the cleaning section of this manual
- Never try to disassemble or repair the product.
- A long exposure of the device to lint, dust or sunlight might reduce its life time or damage it.
Damaged sensor might lead to incorrect measurements.
- Do not leave the thermometer unattended with infants or persons who cannot express their
consent.
- Do not use the thermometer for any purpose other than measuring temperature.
- Do not disassemble the thermometer.
- Do not use a cellular phone near the device. It may result in an operational failure.
- Do not store the device at extreme temperatures (see operating range temperatures below)
Precautions before use
- Remove the protective cap prior to taking a measurement
- The device and the patient should be in the same ambient temperature for 10 minutes.
- Infants’ body temperature might vary more than adults’. Avoid making measurements on
babies after nursing or while they are crying. It is recommended to make measurements
children when they are calm.
- Do not take measurement over irritated skin or scars.
- Please perform 3 measurements in a row in case of children under 3 months… If the 3
measurements are different, always take the highest one.
- If the patient has taken a bath or made exercise, please wait for 15 minutes before
proceeding to a measurement.
- If the thermometer was stored in a cool or a warm room, wait for 15 minutes before
proceeding to a measurement.
- Do not move the thermometer while taking the temperature measurement.
- Please wait for one minute between two measurements.
- Remove hair or sweat prior to taking a measurement.
AAA alkaline cells usage
– If AAA alkaline cells fluid should get on your skin or clothing, immediately rinse with plenty of clean
water.
– Use only two AAA alkaline cells with this blood pressure monitor. Do not use any other types of
AAA alkaline cells.
– Do not insert AAA alkaline cells with their polarities incorrectly aligned. – Replace old AAA alkaline
cells with new ones immediately. Replace all two AAA alkaline cells at the same time.
– Do not use new and used AAA alkaline cells together.
AFTER USE
Cleaning
– Do not use an alcoholic-base or solvent agent to clean the device
– Clean the device with a soft and dry cloth
– Do not submerge the device or any of the components in water. Ensure that no liquid enters the
interior of the thermometer.
– Do not dismantle the device or try to repair it by yourself. If any problem happens, refer to the
distributor
– Do not operate the device under severe environment of extreme temperature or humidity, or direct
sunshine
– Do not shake the unit violently
– Do not let the device under strong shocks, such as dropping the unit on the floor
Wait for 10 minutes after cleaning before taking a temperature measurement.
Storage
– If you are not using the device for an extended period, remove the alkaline cells from the alumimum
tube for storage.
