Changing From Fahrenheit To Celsius - ADC Adtemp 424 Instruction Manual

NOTE:
For an infant, it is best to have the child laying flat with head sideways so the ear is
facing towards you. For an older child or adult, it is best to stand behind and
slightly to the side of the patient.
Always take measurements in the same ear since temperature readings may be dif-
ferent from the right and left ear.
Wait a few minutes before taking ear temperature after sleeping.
It is recommended that three temperatures in the same ear be taken and the high-
est one taken as the reading. This is very important with:
1. Newborn infants in the first 100 days.
2.
Children under three years of age with a compromised immune system and for
whom the presence or absence of fever is critical.
3. When the user is learning how to use the IR thermometer for the first time until
he/she has familiarized himself/herself with the instrument and obtains consistent
readings.
Caution:
If you are not confident with readings obtained, confirm temperature with
a standard digital thermometer.
