RA600 Infrared Ear Thermometer
The Rossmax Infrared Ear thermometer has been carefully developed for accurate, safe and fast temperature measurements in the ear.
It is a non-invasive ear thermometer using an infrared detector to detect body temperature from the auditory canal for adult and child.
- The quality of the infrared ear thermometer has been verified and conforms to the provisions of the EC council directive 93/42/EEC(Medical Device Directive) Annex I essential requirements and applied harmonized standards. EN 12470-5: 2003 Clinical thermometers-Part 5: Performance of infrared ear thermometers (with maximum device.)
- This thermometer converts the ear temperature to display its “oral equivalent.” (according to the result of the clinical evaluation)
LCD display
- It means measurable and reminds to use a probe cover for measurement.
- When battery icon always appears, please replace the battery.
How to use the RA600 Infrared Ear Thermometer
-
To achieve accurate readings, make sure a new, clean probe cover is in place before each measurement and the ear canal is clean.
a. Install the probe cover by clockwise rotating then fix it.
b. Remove the probe cover by anti-clockwise rotating then releasing it. -
Press the POWER BUTTON “On/Off/Memory” button, the thermometer is ready
for use after the ear icon is flashing, two beeps are sounded, and three dash segments are appeared. -
Gently pull the ear back to straighten the ear canal and snugly position the probe into the ear canal, aiming towards the membrane of the eardrum to obtain an accurate reading.
a. Before measurement, correct installation of the probe cover ensures accurate measurement.
b. Replace the probe cover after each use to ensure an accurate reading and
avoid cross contamination.
c. This thermometer must only be used with rossmax probe covers, other covers
can lead to inaccuracy. If running out of probe covers, please contact with
the original seller or distributor for buying new probe covers.
4. Measuring the ear temperature: Use the index finger to trigger, by pressing “Start” button, a long beep will be sounded when measurement is done.
5. For the next measurement, remove the used probe cover and put on a new one.
6. Power off: If left idle for more than 1 minute, device will automatically shut off for extending battery life. Or press POWER BUTTON “On/Off/Memory” button for at least 3 seconds to turn the device off.
7. Fever alarm: When the measuring temperature is higher than 37.5
°C(93.2°F), the reading will flash, the backlight will be enabled, and 4 short
beeps will be sounded. If measuring temperature is higher than 42.2 °C(108°F),
the display will show “Hi”, the backlight will be enabled, and 4 short beeps
will be sounded.
a. It is recommended that you measure 3 times with the same ear within a short
period of time. If the 3 consecutive measurements are different, select the
highest temperature.
b. To avoid the risk of cross contamination, please clean the probe according
to “Clean and Storage“ section after each use.
Scanning Mode
If you continuously obtain different measurement results, it is recommended that you use Scanning Mode to measure.
Measuring the ear temperature: Use the index finger to trigger, press and hold the “Start” button for 3 seconds to take measurement. During the measuring process, gently pivoting the probe side-to-side to view the entire ear canal or in order to find the highest temperature. Release the “Start” button until hearing a long beep sound and the measurement is completed.
Enabling or disabling the beep sound
- Turn off the device.
- Hold down the “ Start ” button, then press and hold the“ON/OFF/ Memory” button until the LCD shows °C.
- Press the “ON/OFF/Memory” change beep sound from on to off, then release the “ON/OFF/Memory” button.
- After 6 seconds without changing, the beep On/Off setting will be completed, and the unit will be entered into the measurement mode.
Switching between temperature scale Fahrenheit and Celsius
To change the Unit from °C to °F:
- Turn off the device.
- Hold down the “Start” button, then press and hold the“ON/OFF/Memory” button until the LCD shows °C.
- Press the “Start” to change the °C to °F, then release the “Start” button.
- During the setting adjustment, each old or new temperature scale setting will be flashing for 6 seconds. After 6 seconds without changing, the temperature scale adjustment will be completed, and the unit will be entered into measurement mode.
Memory function
There are total 9 set memories for measurement records. If the reading of the thermometers is within the normal temperature range of 34 °C to 42.2 °C (93.2 °F to 108°F ), when the measurement is done, the measurement data is saved into memory.
- Press POWER BUTTON “On/Off/Memory” button to repeatedly to recall each temperature memory.
Cleaning and storage
The probe is the most delicate part of the thermometer. Use with care when cleaning the lens to avoid damage.
- Please use the cotton swab with the Alcohol to clean the lens (on the inside of the probe).
- Allow the probe to fully dry for at least 5 minutes.
