Intended Use and Application

The eTherm Plus uses an infrared temperature measurement methodology to measure the temperature of the forehead and can be used for babies, children and adults. This product MUST be operated, and its use supervised, by an adult when taking temperature measurements of babies and children.

Contraindications

Where This Product Should NOT Be Used
Do not use the eTherm Plus to measure the temperature of inflammation, trauma or postoperative lesions, such as a region in an organ or tissue which has suffered damage through injury or disease, including wounds, ulcers, abscesses, or tumors.

Regarding eTherm Plus Measurements

Please note the following when you take measurements with your eTherm Plus.

This product is intended for personal use only.
Measurement results are for reference only. They are not intended for self-diagnosis or treatment. Consult your doctor or a medical professional before taking action.
There is no one standard temperature of a human body. It is important to know your normal average body temperature so you can assess whether or not you have a fever.
Before measuring forehead temperature, make sure you have cleaned perspiration, cosmetics and any oil deposits from the skin.
When taking repeated measurements, it is a normal phenomenon to see small deviations. We therefore recommended that you measure body temperature three times and then take the average of the readings for the most accurate result.
For accurate readings DO NOT take body temperature measurements within 30 minutes of showering, exercising, or eating, since these activities can affect your core body temperature. Body temperature measurements are more accurate during a state of rest.
DO NOT measure body temperature near an inflammation or scar tissue, since this may affect the accuracy of the reading.
DO NOT measure the body temperature immediately after taking medicine, since this may affect the accuracy of the reading.
DO NOT measure body temperature in an environment where the ambient (air) temperature changes rapidly, such as near an air conditioner or heater, since this may affect the accuracy of the reading.
DO NOT measure body temperature in an environment with strong electromagnetic interference, such as near a working microwave oven, induction cooker, or active mobile phone, since this may affect the accuracy of the reading.

While Using your eTherm Plus

This product is a precision measurement device. Replace and store in a secure and dry environment after use to avoid contact with liquids or pieces of small foreign materials, such as dust, dirt etc.
Avoid dropping the device since this will cause damage to the measurement probe and will affect the accuracy of the reading.
Avoid any impact by any external force on the product.
Avoid direct contact of the temperature probe with your fingers or excessive blowing from your mouth.
If the internal infrared probe is covered, damaged, or is not clean, this could affect the accuracy of the reading.
Keep this product out of the reach of babies and children to prevent loss of parts or any risk of swallowing parts or batteries.
Remove the batteries from the battery compartment if the thermometer is not to be used for more than three months.
The product should NOT be used for self-diagnosis and/or self-treatment based on readings obtained. Always consult your medical professional for recommended treatment.
DO NOT try to disassemble and reassemble the product: this will void the warranty and may affect the accuracy of the reading.
DO NOT place the thermometer or batteries into a fire to prevent a potential explosion.
