Medical Thermometer Digital Thermometer Instruction Manual

DEVICE DESCRIPTION AND INTENDED USE

This basal digital thermometer is intended to measure the human body temperature for woman. It’s precise digital display is for using in a household environment.

HOW TO USE

1. Disinfect the probe with isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol before using.

2. Press and release the ON/OFF button, the display read confirming that the unit is functioning properly.

3. Then the display will show L°F with °F flashing. If the room temperature is greater than 90.00°F, it will display rather than L°F.

4. Place the probe in the appropriate position.

5. Once the degree sign °F stops flashing, the measurement is finished and the temperature is
   displayed. An beeping signal will also sound for approximately 5 seconds after °F stops flashing.

6. The unit will automatically turn off in 30 seconds (approx.). However, to prolong battery life, it is best to press the ON/OFF button to turn off once the temperature has been indicated.

Special Features
Last-Temperature Memory Recall: When the ON/OFF button is depressed to activate the thermometer, hold down for approximately 5 seconds. The display of 188.88 will change to show the last reading. This reading is displayed as long as the button is held down. When the button is released, the thermometer will be in “ready-to-measure” mode and the recalled temperature will be erased.

For Models with Fever alarm: If the temperature registers higher than 99.5°F, the fever alarm (a quick beeping sound which occurs continuously for about 5 seconds) will sound when the peak temperature has registered. Also, the result will keep flashing until the thermometer is turned off.

NOTE: Always disinfect the thermometer before using.

NOTE: Drinking or eating prior to use may affect reading; oral measurement should be taken 30 minutes after drinking or eating.

NOTE: In step 4, you may put a sanitary plastic probe cover on the sensor tip to help to prevent cross-infection and contamination. Use of the probe cover may result in a 0.2°F difference from actual temperature. Dispose of any used probe cover and store the unit in a safe place.

NOTE: Temperature readings vary from person to person and time to time; find your normal temperature and watch for changes. If you compare readings between two thermometers, it is
possible to have different readings even both of them are within accuracy requirement.

Read-back last memory by NFC: Install OUcare APP from Google play or App Store successfully. OUcare not only collect temperatures but also can do graph for checking temperature’s trend easily.

For Android mobile device：When the device is off, put mobile device above the thermometer, the last temperature will be read-back and show on mobile device.

For iPhone7 or above：The iOS should be 11.0 or above. When the device is off, press the icon of APP then close to the thermometer, the last temperature will be read-back. Right side is a figure of NFC area of iPhone7.

NOTE: Always disinfect the thermometer before using.

NOTE: Drinking or eating prior to use may affect reading; oral measurement should be taken 30 minutes after drinking or eating.

NOTE: In step 4, you may put a sanitary plastic probe cover on the sensor tip to help to prevent cross-infection and contamination. Use of the probe cover may result in a 0.2°F difference from actual temperature. Dispose of any used probe cover and store the unit in a safe place.

NOTE: Temperature readings vary from person to person and time to time; find your normal temperature and watch for changes. If you compare readings between two thermometers, it is
possible to have different readings even both of them are within accuracy requirement.

RELIABLE METHOD TO MEASURE TEMPERATURE

THE TAKING OF BODY TEMPERATURES: Change in body temperature is one of the most important indicators of illness. It is important that accurate temperatures be taken. Even though the device is used in similar manner to the glass thermometer, it is important that the simple instruction for use of this device be followed closely and that the person taking the temperature understands body temperature.

BODY TEMPERATURE: A person’s body temperature will usually be several tenths to one full degree lower in the morning than it is in the late afternoon. Therefore, if your temperature is 97.9°F in the morning, it could be 98.4°F or more in the late afternoon and still be normal. To determine what your normal body temperature is you should take your temperature both in the early morning and in the late afternoon over several days. Children have the same normal temperature range as do adults. A fever for both children and adults is typically defined as a temperature over 99.5°F. Exercise, excessive clothing, hot bath, hot weather, warm food and drink can cause mild elevations of up to 100.4°F to 101.1°F. If you suspect one of these to be the cause of an elevated reading, eliminate the possible cause and retake the temperature in a half hour.

ORAL USE
Place the probe well under the patient’s tongue. Instruct the patient to keep their mouth closed while the thermometer is reading. A normal temperature by this method is usually considered between 98.6°F to 99.5°F.

RECTAL USE
If the rectal temperature is recommended by your doctor, you may use a probe cover. Insert the
thermometer into the probe cover. Lubricate the probe cover with a water soluble jelly for easier
insertion, do not use petroleum, it may cause inaccuracy reading. Insert the tip of probe no more
than 1/2 inch into rectum. STOP if you meet any resistance. The sensing unit is on the very tip of the probe and there is no need to insert the probe deep into the rectum. In general, the rectal
temperature is around 1.0°F to 2.0°F higher than oral temperature.

NOTE : Due to petroleum is an oil soluble jelly, it will cause low temperature reading. If applying petroleum is necessary, it is recommended to prolong the measurement regardless of the beep sound and continuous wait for around 10 seconds.

AXILLARY USE
Wipe armpit with a dry towel. Place the probe in the patient’s armpit and keep the patient’s arm
pressed firmly against the body. In general, the axillary temperature is around 1.0°F to 2.0°F lower than oral temperature. Note that in order to achieve better axillary temperature measurement results.

NOTE : Children should be attended by an adult during the entire measuring. After use, the digital thermometer should be stored in a safe place, out of reach of young children. If you compare temperatures between two thermometers, it is possible to have two different readings even it both thermometers are within their accuracy tolerance. Difference in how you take each reading and the thermometer’s tolerance range can account for nearly 0.2°F variability.
