EAR & FOREHEAD THERMOMETER 101
1 INTRODUCTION
The Ear & Forehead thermometer uses infrared technology to measure infrared energy
emitted from the forehead or eardrum and surrounding tissue, and then converts it into
temperature value.
2 ABOUT BODY TEMPERATURE
Normal human body temperature fluctuates throughout the day; generally, lowest in the
morning, highest in the evening.
Different parts of human body also have different temperatures. Therefore, the standards
of measuring oral, axillary, rectal and ear temperatures are different. The human body
temperature is controlled and adjusted by the hypothalamus in the brain. As the veins
flow through the hypothalamus, they also flow through the ear-drum in the mid ear. Thus,
measuring the ear temperature (the temperature of the ear drum membrane) can best
reflect the body temperature.
Normal body temperature is a range, not a fixed value.
When using an IR ear thermometer to take temperature, the normal body temperature
range is 35.8 °C - 38.0 °C. Also, people's normal temperature ranges tend to decrease
with their age.
However, the normal range is also different from person to person. To determine your
and your family members' normal temperature ranges is very important. It can be done
easily by using our Infrared Thermometer. Please practice to take temperatures on
yourself and your healthy family members to determine their normal temperature ranges.
3 SAFETY NOTES
- Please read carefully through the following information concerning safety and proper
use. Make yourself familiar with all the functions of the equipment. Be careful to keep
these advice notes and if necessary pass them on to a third party.
- This thermometer is intended for household use only. The use of this thermometer is
not intended as a substitute for physician's consultation.
- Don't touch or blow the infrared sensor. A polluted infrared sensor may cause inaccu-
racy.
- Clean a polluted infrared sensor with a soft wet cloth in a gentle manner. Cleaning
with toilet paper of paper towel may scratch the infrared sensor, causing inaccuracy.
- Keep the unit out of children's reach. A self-measurement forced by children may
cause ear damage. For accidental swallowing of a battery, please contact a doctor at
once.
- Measurement must be suspended until the ear is warmed up after outdoor activities to
avoid lower results.
