13)Do not use the thermometer on newborns or for continuous temperature monitoring
purposes.
14)Do not take a measurement while or immediately after nursing a baby.
15)Patients should not drink, eat, or be physically active before/while taking the
measurement.
14. Product Description
1)Overview
Infrared Thermometer measures the body temperature based on the infrared energy
emitted from the eardrum or the forehead. Users can quickly get measurement results
after positioning properly the temperature probe in the ear canal or forehead.
Normal body temperature is a range. The following tables shows that this normal range
also varies by site. Therefore, readings from different site should not be directly compared.
Tell your doctor what type of thermometer you used to take your temperature and on what
part of the body. Also, bear this in mind if you are diagnosing yourself.
Measurements
Forehead temperature
36.1°C to 37.5°C (97.0°F to 99.5°F)
Ear temperature
35.8°C to 38.0°C (96.4°F to 100.4°F)
Oral temperature
35.5°C to 37.5°C (95.9°F to 99.5°F)
Rectal temperature
36.6°C to 38.0°C (97.9°F to 100.4°F)
Axillary temperature
34.7°C to 37.3°C (94.5°F to 99.1°F)
2)Structure
The thermometer consists of a shell, an LCD screen, a measure button, a beeper, an
infrared temperature sensor, and a Microprocessor.
3)Operating principle
The infrared temperature sensor collects infrared energy emitted by the eardrum or the
skin surface. After being focused by a lens, the energy is converted into a temperature
reading by the thermopiles and measurement circuits.
