and wait 20 minutes prior to taking a temperature. Use
the untreated ear if prescription ear drops or other ear
medications have been placed in the ear canal.
4. Holding the thermometer for too long in the hand before
taking a measurement can cause the device to warm up.
This means the measurement could be incorrect.
5. Patients and the thermometer should stay in steady-state
room condition for at least 30 minutes.
6. Before placing the thermometer sensor onto the forehead,
remove dirt, hair, or sweat from the forehead area. Wait 10
minutes after cleaning before taking measurement.
7. Use an alcohol swab to carefully clean the sensor and
wait for 5 minutes before taking a measurement on another
patient. Wiping the forehead with a warm or cool cloth may
impact your reading. It is advised to wait 10 minutes before
taking a reading.
8. In the following situations it is recommended that 3-5
measurements in the same location be taken and the
highest one taken as the reading:
• Newborn infants in the first 100 days.
• Children under three years of age with a compromised
immune system and for whom the presence or absence
of fever is critical.
• When the user is learning how to use the thermometer for
the first time until he/she has familiarized himself/herself
with the instrument and obtains consistent readings.
11. Care and Cleaning
Use an alcohol swab or cotton swab moistened with 70%
alcohol to clean the thermometer casing and the measuring
probe. After the alcohol has completely dried out, you can
take a new measurement.
