GIMA ri-thermo sensioPRO Non Contact Thermometer
INTRODUCTION
Thank you for choosing ri-thermo® sensioPRO / ri-thermo® sensioPRO+ non-
contact thermometer.
Please read this instruction manual first, so you can use this thermometer
safely and correctly. Please keep this instruction manual for future
reference. This innovative medical device uses advanced infrared (IR)
technology to measure temperature on the forehead instantly and accurately.
This thermometer delivers a body temperature reading from the thermal
radiation emitted from the forehead without contact to the body.
Before using this product, please read the following contents thoroughly and
carefully.
INTENDED USE
ri-thermo® sensioPRO / ri-thermo® sensioPRO+ non-contact thermometer is intended for the intermittent measurement and monitoring of human body temperature from the forehead. The device is intended for use of all ages for professional use by one with a good understanding of the operation instruction.
HOW DOES IT WORK
The thermometer measures the infrared heat generated by the surface of the
skin over the vessel and its surrounding tissue.
The thermometer then converts it into a temperature value shown on LCD.
NOTE:
The thermometer does not emit any infrared signal.

- Children younger than 3 years old and who have a compromised immune system and the presence / absence of fever is critical.
- When you are learning to use the thermometer.
- Do not take a reading while the patient is moving and / or talking. Wait 30 minutes after any of the following situations before taking a measurement:
- When the body site for measurement has been covered.
- After the patient has been exercising, swimming, or taking a bath.
- When the patient has been exposed to extreme temperature.

REPLACING THE BATTERY
The thermometer comes with two 1.5 V AA alkaline batteries. The meter will display ” ” to alert you when the meter power is getting low. If “ ” and “ ” appear both, please follow the steps below to replace new batteries immediately.
- Remove the battery cover as the arrow direction accordingly. (Figure 1)
- Remove the old batteries and replace with two 1.5V AA size alkaline batteries. (Figure 2)
- Close the battery cover. If the batteries are inserted correctly, you will hear a “beep” afterwards.
NOTE:
- Although the thermometer works when “ ” appears, we still recommend that you change the batteries to obtain an accurate result.
- Remove the batteries if stored for a long period of time.
- The batteries should be kept away out of child’s reach. If they are swallowed, promptly see a doctor for help.
CHANGING UNIT OF MEASUREMENT
This meter provides two measurement units used for indicating the body temperature, °C or °F, for your preferred selection.
STEP 1. Press the to turn on the thermometer first.
STEP 2. Press the °C / °F button to select. Press the to begin the
measurement or keep the meter in idle for 30 seconds to automatically turn it
off.
SETTING THE THERMOMETER
You will need to set time for first-time use or after replacing the battery.
STEP 1. When the thermometer is off, press the MEM button for 2 seconds
to enter the setting mode.
STEP 2. Set the date and time
- Press the MEM or °C / °F button to select the correct month.

respective manual of the device you inted to pair.
ABOUT NORMAL BODY TEMPERATURE & FEVER
Body temperature can vary from one individual / person to next. It also varies
by location on the body and time of day. Below shows the statistical normal
ranges from different sites. Please keep in mind that temperatures measured
from different sites, even at the same time, should not be directly compared.
Fever indicates that the body temperature is higher than normal. This symptom
may be caused by infection, overdressing or immunization.
Some people may not experience fever even when they are ill. These include,
but are not limited to, infants younger than 3 months old, persons with
compromised immune systems, persons taking antibiotics, steroids or
antipyretics (aspirin, ibuprofen, acetaminophen), or persons with certain
chronic illnesses.
*Body Site Normal Temperature Range1**
Oral | normal oral temperature is 37°C (98.6°F) |
---|---|
Rectal / Ear | 0.3°C to 0.6°C (0.5°F to 1°F) higher than oral temperature |
Axillary / Forehead | 0.3°C to 0.6°C (0.5°F to 1°F) lower than oral temperature |
MAINTENANCE
- The probe is not waterproof. Please wipe with a clean and dry cotton swab to clean the probe on the inside.

Interference may occur in the vicinity of equipment marked with the following
symbol :
NOTE1 At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency range applies.
NOTE2 These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic
propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects
and people.
a Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio
(cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and
FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with
accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF
transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the
measured field strength in the location in which the device is used exceeds
the applicable RF compliance level above, the device should be observed to
verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional
measures may be necessary, such as re-orienting or relocating the device.
b Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less
than 3 V/m.
Recommended separation distance between
portable and mobile RF communications equipment and the device
The device is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which
radiated RF disturbances are controlled. The customer or the user of the
device can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum
distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment
(transmitters) and the device as recommended below, according to the maximum
output power of the communications equipment.
