INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing this Thermometer. Please read this
instruction manual completely before using your unit to ensure safe
use, accurate results and long life of the thermometer.
This product is intended for household use; this product is not
intended to diagnose or treat any health problem or disease and
should not be used as a substitute for the consultation and advice of a
physician or other medical professional. Thermometers should only be
used under the supervision of an adult.
EAR THERMOMETERS (also known as tympanic or aural
thermometers), are a great alternative to oral, rectal and underarm
thermometers. The ear is an excellent site for measuring temperature,
as the part of the brain that regulates body temperature shares a
blood supply with the eardrum. This thermometer provides results
several times faster than the fastest oral thermometer, making it ideal
for infants and fidgety children. It can even be used while the patient
is sleeping. Unlike readings from oral thermometers, factors such as
smoking, drinking, or speaking do not affect the measurements taken
by ear thermometers.
FOREHEAD THERMOMETERS take the temperature of people and
objects with minimal contact with the patient, making it less invasive
and threatening than other thermometers, as well as potentially
more sanitary. It can even be used when the patient is sleeping. This
thermometer also measures the temperature of objects and liquids,
making it useful for determining if a baby's milk or bathwater is ready.
All people and objects emit infrared energy. The forehead
thermometer measures that energy, taking multiple readings quickly
and converting those data to a single peak temperature, which
appears on the display.
With proper care, your new thermometer will provide your entire
family with many years of safe, accurate and comfortable temperature
readings.
