kinetik WELLBEING DT-K11B Rapid Digital Thermometer

Congratulations on your purchase of this product. Please read the instructions carefully before using the thermom-eter for the first time, and keep this in a safe place.
This product is intended for the measurement of human body temperature. This product is for home and hospital use, operator shall be at least 11 years old and patient can be operator.

Operating Instructions

Before using, please disinfect the probe at first. To switch on, press the ON/OFF button next to the display; indicating that the thermometer is operational. At the same time the thermometer runs a self-check test, during which all the digital segments appear on the LCD. When the letters “Lo” and a flashing “°C” or “°F” display, the thermometer is ready. If the ambient temperature is below 32°C or 89.6°F, then “Lo°C” or “Lo°F” will appear on the LCD and if it is above 42.9°C /109.2°F, then “HI°C” or “HI°F” will appear on the LCD.

During the reading, the current temperature is displayed and the “°C” or “°F” symbol flashes. The measurement is completed when a constant temperature value has been reached. The temperature value is considered constant when the temperature rises less than 0.1°C within 4 seconds. As soon as the constant temperature value is reached, and the “°C” or “°F” symbol will stop flashing. The highest temperature measured appears on the LCD. However, please note that this thermometer is a maximum thermometer, i.e. the displayed temperature can increase slightly if measurement continues after the beep. This is particularly the case with axillary measurements, should a temperature value be recorded which approximates the core body temperature. In this instance please note the description under “Methods of measuring temperature”. When the measurement is completed, please switch the thermometer off by pressing the ON/OFF button. After the temperature has been displayed, the thermometer will automatically turn off after 10 minutes.

Memory function

Switch the thermometer off, then press the ON/OFF button for about 2 seconds. The last measured value with “°C” or “°F” will appear automatically on the LCD. This display is visible as long as the ON/OFF button is held down. The reading is only over-written when a new temperature value is recorded.

Methods of measuring temperature

It is important to remember that the body temperature reading depends on the site where it is measured. For this reason, the measurement site must always be specified in order to ensure that a correct temperature reading is recorded.

In the rectum(rectal)
This is the most accurate method from a medical point of view, because it comes closest to the core body temperature. The thermometer tip is inserted carefully into the rectum for a maximum of 2 cm.
The usual measuring time is approximately 9 to 11 seconds.

Under the arm(axillary)
Placing the thermometer in the armpit provides a measurement of surface temperature that can fluctuate by around 0.5°C to 1.5°C from rectal temperature readings in adults. The usual measuring time for this method is approximately 23 to 29 seconds. It should be noted, however, that an exact reading cannot be obtained if, for example, the armpits have been allowed to cool. If this is the case, we recommend extending the measuring time by around 5 minutes in order to obtain the most precise possible reading that corresponds as closely as possible to the core body temperature.

In the mouth(oral)
There are different heat zones in the mouth. As a general rule, the oral temperature is 0.3°C to 0.8°C lower than the rectal temperature. To ensure that reading is as accurate as possible, place the thermometer tip to the left or right of the root of the tongue. The thermometer tip must have constant contact with the tissue during the reading and be placed under the tongue in one of the two heat pockets at the back, keep the mouth closed during the reading and breathe evenly through the nose. Do not eat or drink anything before the measurement. The usual measuring time is approximately 15 to 19 seconds.
Note: We strongly recommend the rectal method as the most accurate method for identifying the basal temperature and advise you to extend the measuring time by 3 minutes after the beep.

*Note: Normally the buzzes are “Bi-Bi-Bi-Bi-“; Alarm beeps more rapidly when temperature reaches 37.8°C or higher, and the buzzes are
“Bi-Bi-Bi—–Bi-Bi-Bi—–Bi-Bi-Bi”

How to change the measuring scale
(only for switchable type)
To switch the display between °C and °F, turn the unit on. Press and hold the ON/OFF button for 2 seconds, the display will show another scale.

Cleaning and disinfection

The best way to clean the thermometer tip is by applying a disinfectant (e.g. 70% medical alcohol) with a damp cloth. It shall be disinfected before each use. The Waterproof thermometers can be immersed in liquid or lukewarm water for through cleaning and disinfection.

Safety precautions

  • Do not allow the device to come into contact with hot water.
  • Do not expose to high temperatures or direct sunlight.
  • Do not drop the thermometer. It is neither shock-proof nor impact-resistant.
  • Do not modify this device without authorization of manufacturer.
  • Do not clean with thinners, petrol or benzenel. Only clean with water or specified disinfectant.
  • Do not use in flammable agents/oxygen rich environment.
  • The thermometer contains small parts (battery, battery compartment) which can be swallowed by children. For this reason, do not leave the thermometer unattended in the hands of children.
  • Avoid bending the Non-Flexible thermometer tip. which contact patient with stainless steel cover.
  • If the ambient temperature is over 35°C, dip the thermometer tip in cold water for approx. 5 to 10 seconds prior to measuring the temperature.
  • Persistent fever, in particular in children, has to be treated by a doctor- please get in touch with your doctor!
  • Do not use near strong electromagnetic fields, i.e. keep it away from any radio systems and mobile phones.
Battery replacement

The battery is empty and needs replacing when the ” ” battery symbol appears on the right of the LCD. Remove the battery cover and replace it with a battery (preferably non-mercury) of the same type.
Please note: The “+ ” sign up and “-” sign down.
We advise you to remove the batteries if the device is not going to be used for a longer period of time.

Product disposal

Please ensure environmental protection. Batteries do not belong in the domestic waste. Please hand them in at collection point or the municipal recycle material centre as special waste. The lithium battery or fuel cell may lead to excessive temperatures, fire or explosion.
This symbol on products and/or accompanying documents means that consumed electronic products must not be mixed with conventional domestic waste. Take these products to the corresponding collection points for correct treatment and recycling, where they will be accepted free of charge. For more information on the closest collection point, Please enquire with your local authorities.
