Safety Precautions

A Warning

• Use of this thermometer is not intended as a substitute for consultation with your physician. Please consult your doctor if you have any doubts about the temperature reading.
• Keep the thermometer out of reach of children. For accidental swallowing of the battery or other components, please contact emergency services immediately.
• Batteries must not be thrown into an open fire or short-circuited.

A Caution
(1) Measurements Thermometer readings should be regarded as a reference.
Do not attempt self-diagnostics or self-treatment using the temperature readings. Please seek professional medical advice when necessary.

2. There is no absolute standard for human body temperature.
   Knowing your own normal body temperature range is important to accurately determine if you have a fever.

3. Make sure that the forehead of the subject is free from sweat, cosmetics, dirt, or grease before measuring.

4. Patients should not drink, eat, or be physically active before/while taking a reading. Wait 30 minutes before taking a measurement. Temperature readings taken when a body is in a state of stable equilibrium are more accurate and useful as a reference.

5. Do not take temperature measurements over scar tissue, open sores, or abrasions.

6. Do not measure body temperature from scar tissues on the forehead as such tissues will affect temperature conduction of the body.

7. If there is a temperature difference between the thermometer storage area and the new ambient environment around the subject, please let the thermometer sit within the new environment for 30 minutes before taking the measurement.

8. Do not measure body temperature immediately after consuming a drug that raises body temperature.
   Temperature readings taken at this time will not be accurate.

9. It is normal for readings taken from continuous measurements to fluctuate within a small range. During continuous measurements, the subject’s body temperature may be transmitted to the thermometer, affecting measurement accuracy. We recommend taking only up to 3 continuous readings within a short period.

10. Do not directly face the sun or an air outlet of an air conditioning or radiator device during the measurement as this will cause changes to the forehead temperature.
    Measurements should be taken in a stable environment where possible.

11. Do not measure body temperature in an environment with strong EM interference (examples include places close to a working microwave, induction cooker, or cellphone in use) as EM interference may cause errors in the reading or even device failure.

12. This product should be considered a personal device.
    Clean and sanitize the product properly to prevent cross-contamination.

13. To clean a dirty thermometer probe, gently swipe the probe using a cotton swab dipped in 70% Isopropyl. Let the cleaned thermometer sit for at least 15 minutes before taking more measurements.

14. This infrared thermometer meets requirements established in ISO 80601-2-56: 2017/AC: 2018. It displays the subject’s temperature over a range of 89.6°F —109.2°F (32°C-42.9°C).

Body temperature

• Body temperature varies from person to person and fluctuates during the course of the day. For this reason, it is suggested to know one’s normal, healthy forehead temperature to correctly determine the temperature.
• Body temperature runs approximately from 95.9°F to100°F (35.5°C-37.8°C). To determine if one has a fever, compare the temperature detected with the person’s normal temperature. A rise over the reference body temperature of 1.8°F/1°C or more is generally an indication of fever.
• Different measurement sites(rectal, axillary, oral, frontal, auricular) will give different readings. Therefore it is wrong to compare the measurement taken from different sites.
• The following are typical temperatures for adults, based on different measurement sites:
