I. INTRODUCTION
The ThermoFlash® LX-260T EVOLUTION, developed by Visiomed®, is a revolutionary
infra-red medical thermometer without contact, fitted with cutting edge MicroSecond
Flash automatic calibration technology™ using latest infrared technology. This latter allows tem-
poral artery (TA) temperature to be taken at a distance of about 2-5cm away from the forehead.
Precise, instantaneous and without contact, the ThermoFlash® LX-260T EVOLUTION is totally
suitable for a precise temperature measurement without risk. It has been shown that this TA
temperature measurement, for newborns, is more precise than tympanic thermometry and bet-
ter tolerated than rectal thermometry (1).
However, as with other types of thermometer, it is essential to use the ThermoFlash® LX-260T
EVOLUTION properly in order to obtain reliable and stable results.
You are therefore advised to read this instruction manual and the safety precautions carefully before use.
