PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

1) Overview
The Dr. Trust iCheck Ear and Forehead Thermometer measure the body temperature based on the infrared energy emitted from the eardrum or the forehead. Users can quickly get measurement results after positioning properly the temperature probe in the ear canal or on the forehead.

2) Normal Body Temperature Range
The following tables show that this normal range also varies by site.
Therefore, readings from different sites should not be directly compared. Tell your doctor what type of thermometer you used to take your temperature and on what part of the body. Also bear this in mind if you are diagnosing yourself.

TIPS TO MAKE CORRECT TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENTS

• It is important to know everyone’s normal temperature when they are well. This is the only way to accurately diagnose a fever.
• Record readings twice a day (early morning and late afternoon). Take the average of the two temperatures to calculate the normal oral equivalent temperature.
• Always take the temperature in the same location, since the temperature readings may vary from different locations on the forehead.
• A child’s normal temperature can be as high as 99.9°F (37.7) or as low as 97.0°F (36.11). Please note that this unit reads 0.5ºC (0.9°F) lower than a rectal digital thermometer.
• 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.
• Patients and the thermometer should stay in steady-state room condition for at least 30 minutes.
• Before placing the thermometer sensor onto the forehead, remove dirt, hair, or sweat from the forehead area.
• Wiping the forehead with a warm or cool cloth may impact your reading. It is advised to wait for 10 minutes before taking a reading.
• Use an alcohol swab to carefully clean the sensor and wait for 5 minutes before taking a measurement on another patient.

 MULTI MEASUREMENTS REQUIREMENTS

In the following situations, 3-5 measurements are recommended to be taken in the same location. The highest one is the standard reading.

• Newborn infants in the ys.
• 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 time until he/she has familiarized himself/herself with the instrument and obtains consistent readings.

KEY FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE EAR TEMPERATURE READINGS

Some external factors that may ine, include:

• been lying on one ear or the other
• had their ears covered
• been exposed to very hot or very cold temperatures, or
• been recently swimming or bathing Cau

Caption

• In these cases, remove the individual from the situation and wait for 20 minutes prior to taking a temperature reading.
  Use the untreated ear if prescription ear drops or other ear medications have been placed in the ear canal.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

• 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.
• Ensure that no liquid enters the interior of the thermometer.
• Never use abrasive cleaning agents, thinners, or benzene for cleaning, and never immerse the instrument in water or other cleaning liquids.
• Take care not to scratch the surface of the LCD screen.
