Infrared ear
thermometer
Comfort Quick
Dear Customer, thank you for choos-
ing our product!
This thermometer was designed by a
panel of highly proficient technicians
and produced in conformity with
all applicable European Standards. It
uses the smallest probe in the world
(5.9 mm in diameter) and is therefore
ideal for measuring ear temperatures
of newborns, infants and all children
in general.
The thermometer is an adjusted
mode thermometer that picks up
the infrared radiation emitted by the
tympanic membrane and converts
the reading into an equivalent oral
measurement.
Always keep the thermometer and
probe caps out of reach of children
and never leave children unattended
when using the thermometer. The
thermometer contains small parts
that children can accidentally swal-
low. If in doubt, or if the temperature
goes up, contact your doctor for
advice.
Please report to the manufacturer
and the competent authority of the
Member State in which you are es-
tablished about any serious incident
that has occurred in relation to this
device.
BODY TEMPERATURE
It is important to bear in mind that
body temperature varies from person
to person, depending on where the
reading is taken, and it varies through-
out the day, fluctuating between 35.5
° C and 37.8 ° C. (95.5 ° F -100 ° F). This
is why, in order to evaluate the tem-
perature reading properly, we recom-
mend you record the child' s normal
ear temperature, when he is in good
health, at various times of day and use
this as your benchmark when assess-
ing if the temperature has risen or not.
To determine whether someone has
a fever, it is recommended to com-
pare the current temperature reading
with one taken in good health: an
increase equal to or greater than 1°C
(1.8 ° F) compared to the benchmark
temperature is usually indicative of a
fever. Furthermore, not only do differ-
ent measurement points (rectal, un-
derarm, oral, frontal, ear) provide dif-
ferent readings, but it is also difficult
to produce valid correlations for each
subject (there are only statistical data
in this sense). It is hence absolutely
normal that the temperature differs
when taken in the ear rather than the
underarm and it is wrong to try and
compare the two. It is also wrong
to compare readings taken on the
right and left sides of the body as the
temperature readings depend on the
depth of the blood vessels where the
reading is taken, and this depth usu-
ally differs between the right and left
side. The indicative readings below
refer to standard adult temperatures
taken in different parts of the body:
- ear temperature: 35.8 – 38°C / 96.4
– 100.4° F
- rectal temperature: 36.6 – 38°C / 97.9
– 100.4° F
- underarm temperature: 34.7 –
37.3°C / 94.5 – 99.1° F
- oral temperature: 35.5 – 37.5°C / 95.9
– 99.5° F
HOW TO TAKE A TEMPERATURE
Precautions
• The thermometer tends to compensate
ear temperature readings according to
the room temperatures. To get the most
accurate reading, it is therefore recom-
mended to place the thermometer in
the room where it will be used for at least
20-25 minutes. The person whose tem-
