For your safety and continued enjoyment of this product, always read the instruction booklet carefully before using.

Model ITH93

Thank you for purchasing the ConairCare Infrared Forehead Thermometer (ITH93). This product features the latest technology and has been tested according to international medical device standards. It has been cleared by the FDA for home and professional use. The thermometer’s unique technology enables stable and accurate measurements every time. This product is designed specifically to monitor body temperature for use at home or in clinical settings.

Please read the instruction manual carefully and keep it in a safe place for reference.

INDICATIONS FOR USE

The ITH93 is a non-sterile, reusable, clinical electronic thermometer using an infrared sensor to detect human body temperature on people of all ages for home and professional use.

WARNINGS & PRECAUTIONS

Never use the thermometer for purposes other than those it has been intended for.

The use of this thermometer is not intended as a substitute for a consultation with your healthcare provider. If you are concerned about your health, please see your physician. Elevated temperature may signal a serious illness, especially in older individuals, people with compromised immune systems, and infants.

In order to properly diagnose an elevated temperature, it is important to know an individual’s normal body temperature. We suggest taking several readings when the person is healthy, to set a baseline for their normal temperature.

Infrared thermometers cannot be used to diagnose COVID-19 or other illnesses. Infrared thermometers can identify individuals with higher than average body temperatures compared to a sample population. Only a medical professional can determine whether an individual is experiencing an abnormal medical condition or illness.

Note that an abnormal medical condition may be present even when an individual does not show a fever. When in doubt, consult your physician.

Follow general safety guidelines when using this thermometer on children. Do not allow children to take their temperature unattended. This is a not toy. We recommend not using this thermometer on children less than 3 months of age.

Do not immerse this thermometer in water or other liquids. Follow the instructions in the “Cleaning and Maintenance” section to clean and disinfect the thermometer.

The device is made of precision parts. Do not dismantle, re-assemble or modify the thermometer in any way. Do not drop the thermometer and protect it from strong impacts.

Do not use this thermometer if the sensor is broken. If the device is broken, do not attempt to repair it yourself. Contact the customer service center.

Do not use this thermometer in the presence of flammable anesthetic mixtures with air or with oxygen or nitrous oxide.

CAUTION

Keep the device away from direct sunlight. Store in a dry and dust-free environment, ideally within a storage temperature range of 4°F to 131° F (-20° C to 55C°).

Before taking temperature readings, please make sure the sensor surface is clean. If there is visible dust or dirt, you may clean the surface with a cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol before using the device.

After cleaning the sensor head with alcohol, it is recommended to leave the device for a few minutes until the alcohol evaporates and the sensor head returns to its normal temperature. We suggest cleaning the thermometer sensor after use, to ensure measurement accuracy and to avoid potential cross- contamination.

To make sure the measurement result is accurate, wait at least 30 seconds after each measurement before you measure again.

Because babies are slower at adapting to temperature changes in the environment, if drastic temperature changes are observed, it is best to wait a few minutes in the same environment until the baby’s body temperature becomes stable before taking any temperature readings to ensure the most accurate results.

It is recommended to take 3 temperature readings and reference the highest recorded measurement for babies between 3 months to 3 years of age, or for first-time users of the device.

The device requires no calibration.

Remove batteries if the equipment is not likely to be used for some time.

The user must check that the equipment functions safely and see that it is in proper working condition before use.

Do not operate the product out of operating conditions or out of the operating temperature range, as it may cause measurement value anomalies or malfunction.

HOW THE THERMOMETER WORKS

This thermometer detects infrared energy radiated from the skin and tissue of the forehead. Temperature readings taken in the center of the forehead (between and slightly above the eyebrows) will provide the most accurate measurements. This thermometer has been tested and proven to be safe and accurate when used as directed in this instruction manual. This device has settings that alert you to a temperature above normal.

Normal temperature varies from person to person, by age, and even by time of day and activity. It is best to establish a “normal” temperature range for each user of the thermometer while the person is feeling well. We suggest taking readings in the morning and in the late afternoon and averaging them to get a “normal” temperature. Record that temperature so you can use it to compare against temperatures measured for that person when they are not feeling well. Note that normal body temperatures tend to decrease with age. The ConairCare thermometer allows you to customize your high temperature alert settings depending on your own normal temperature.

Generally, temperatures in the range of 96.4 °- 99.4°F (35.8-37.4°C) are considered normal, a temperature between 99.5°-101.3°F (37.5 °C - 38.5 °C) is considered a light fever and temperatures over 101.3 °F (38.5 °C) are considered a fever.

The ConairCare thermometer features automatic ambient temperature compensation and forehead temperature dynamic compensation.

BEFORE TAKING A TEMPERATURE READING

Clean the skin of the forehead and make sure the area is free of hair, sweat, cream or makeup.

Wait at least 30 minutes after strenuous exercise to take your temperature.

Take the temperature in a room that does not have significant changes in air flow, such as a room with large fans and air conditioners. Do not take your temperature near heat sources, such as radiators or heat registers.

The body’s temperature adapts to the environment. Allow at least 20 minutes to adjust to room temperature if a person is entering a room that is significantly warmer or cooler than the room they were in previously.

MEASURING FOREHEAD TEMPERATURE

Point the front of the thermometer (sensor head) at the center of the person’s forehead, no more than 2 inches (5cm) away from the skin, and press the button on the handle. A beep indicates that the measurement is complete and the measurement value is shown on the display. In order to avoid human error, we suggest that you take multiple measurements at least 20 seconds apart and average them.
