Instruction Manual

Introduction & classification

This is a Non-Contact Forehead Thermometer applicable to forehead measurement. The thermometer measures body temperature by collecting heat radiation emitting from forehead. New probe structure is adopted in this thermometer. It’s simply operational, hygeian, reliable and highly accurate. Users can get precise reading within one second by one touch. This thermometer is cost- effective and is widely used in schools, customs, hospitals and for family use.

Intended Use & Indication for use: The Non-Contact Forehead Thermometer is an infrared thermometer intended for the intermittent measurement of human body temperature in people of all ages.

This thermometer is classified as a Class IIa(for CE)/class II(for FDA) Medical Device, sorted as internally- powered equipment and type BF application device. It’s prohibited to use this thermometer in flammable anesthetic gas or gas mixture of air and oxygen or nitrous oxide. This is a continuous operation equipment.

Working principle

Any object can generate certain proportion of infrared radiant energy as per its own temperature. The radiant energy and its wavelength distribution are subjected to its surface temperature. Based on this principle, this thermometer is designed to detect infrared radiation at 5~14um by highly precise infrared sensor. By adopting this high quality sensor plus special calculation and calibration, this thermometer is able to take accurate body temperature.

Safety precautions

Warning:

• Using this thermometer is not intended as a substitute for consultation with your physician. It is dangerous for users to perform a self-evaluation and self-treatment based on the measuring result. please follow doctor’s instruction.

• Please stay still indoors about 30 minutes after exercise, eating or bathing before measuring.
• Please place the thermometer indoors for about 30 minutes if ambient temperature varies a lot before using.
• Please collect the record of Individual temperature under the good condition of body in usual days as a reference for checking fever or not.
• Do not measure the sites of scarred tissue or tissue compromised by skin disorders because they will affect the accuracy of measurement.
• Do not measure if patient is treated with certain drug therapies because body temperature may rise in the drug within the effort time limit.
• Do not immerse the device into water or any other liquid, do not expose to the sun.
• Do not use a mobile or cordless hone near the thermom measuring. Do not use the thermometer near a mobile or cordless hone.
• Please don’t measure body temperature in strong electromagnetic interference environment (such as microwave, high frequency equipment operation environment) to ensure the accuracy of measurement data.
• This thermometer only a personal device, please do not share with others.
• Please store the thermometer according to the technical specifications.
• Keep the sensor and probe cavity clean before use and after use.
• The materials (ABS) of contact with patient has passed the ISO 10993-5 and ISO 10993-10 standard test, no toxicity, allergy and irritation reaction. They are compliant with the MDD requirements based on the current science and technology, and other potential allergic reactions are unknown.
• The patient can measure, read data and replace battery under normal circumstances and maintain the device and its accessories according to the user manual.
• The PATIENT is an intended OPERATOR.

Recommendations:

• Don’t use this thermometer for other purposes.
• It is forbidden to leave the product exposed to any chemical solvent, direct sunshine or high temperature in case of damaging the product or the battery.

Setting

User can change reading scale between Celsius and Fahrenheit, and change measurement mode between human body mode and object mode .

Measurement mode setting:

When thermometer is on, it displays current measurement mode ( fig.9.1). Press the “Mode” button to change measurement mode( fig.9.2).

Reading scale setting:

When thermometer is on, it displays current Reading scale. Press the “C/F” button to select reading scale.

Notice:

1. Temperature under human body mode is obtained from dynamic compensation of environmental temp and forehead surface temp.
2. Object temperature mode is to test surface temperature of an object. The temperature get from forehead under this mode is merely temperature of forehead surface but not body temperature.

Measurement

Body temperature

• Press measurement button to turn on thermometer and it displays boot screen (fig.10.1). After POST and two beeps, it will display value of last reading and be ready for measurement (fig.10.2).
• Make sure the thermometer is under body mode.
• Keep distance at 5cm to 8cm from thermometer probe to the middle of forehead (fig.10.3). Press measurement button and then it gives a beep to indicate measurement is finished and value will be displayed (fig.10.4). If measurement value exceeds alarm value(Defaulted value is 38℃),it gives beep. beep. beep as a indication.
• After measurement, if the thermometer is idle for 30 seconds, it will display OFF (fig.10.5) and gives a beep and shut off automatically.

Object temperature

• Press measurement button to turn on thermometer (fig.10.6).
• Make sure the thermometer is under object mode.
• Keep vertical distance at 5cm to 8cm from object to measurement probe.
• Press measurement button and then it gives a“beep”to indicate measurement is finished and value will be displayed (fig.10.7).
• After measurement, if the thermometer is idle for 30 seconds, it will display “OFF” (fig.10.8) and gives a “beep” and shut off automatically.

Notice:

1. The value under this mode is object surface temperature instead of core temperature.
2. The default value of edinfrared emissivity is 0.95. The reading will deviate from the real temperature because of different emissivity. For example, the reading on stainless steel is obviously lower than real temperature. BE CAUTIOUS FOR SCALDING.

Exceeding measurement range

Body mode:

When measurement value is lower than 34.0ºC（93.2℉）, it displays Lo (fig.10.9) and gives “beep. beep. beep. beep”, with the color of backlight turning red. When measurement value is higher than 43.0 ºC（109.4℉）, it displays Hi (fig.10.10) and gives “beep. beep. beep. beep”, with the color of backlight turning red.
