Measuring the body temperature

1. The device and the patient must remain in a stable environment for at least 5 minutes before measuring the temperature.
2. Clean the armpit and the surrounding area.
3. Take one adhesive patch, remove the protective film and place the device right in the middle of patch 6. The battery compartment’s 4 sides should be stuck on the patch. The measuring sensor 1 needs to be in contact with the skin and as close as possible to the armpit.
4. Place the device with the adhesive patch directly on the skin below the armpit 7.
5. Lower the arm and wait around 15 minutes until the temperature rises to the body temperature level.
6. The temperature display will appear on the smartphone.
7. Press and hold the ON/OFF button 2 for 3 seconds to turn off the device; otherwise, the device will automatically switch off after approx. 15 minutes, when removed from the body.
   To keep a good connection, avoid distances above 5 m between the device and the smartphone.
   Obstacles (e.g. walls) may weaken the connection.
   NOTE:

• Regularly check for sufficient skin contact of the device, in order to avoid measurement errors.
• Sudden movements or low battery power may lead to inaccurate measurement results.
• The adhesive patches are for single use only – do not use them repeatedly. Only use them in smooth and undamaged conditions.
• Don’t use the thermometer in high humidity environments.
• Doctors recommend rectal measurement for newborn infants within the first 6 months, as all other measuring methods might lead to ambiguous results.
• Readings from different measuring sites should not be compared as the normal body temperature varies by measuring site and time of day, being highest in the evening and lowest about one hour before waking up.
  Normal body temperature ranges:
  – Axillar: 34.7 – 37.3 °C / 94.5 – 99.1 °F
  – Oral: 35.5 – 37.5 °C / 95.9 – 99.5 °F

the App. You can also track the temperature trend of the past hours and the data of previous measurements.

If the device is disconnected from the App, the device will save one measurement every minute and send the stored results to the App, once Bluetooth® is connected again.

Cleaning and Disinfecting
