Why an IR ear thermometer?
The tympanic membrane (eardrum), and the hypothalamus, the part of the brain which controls body temperature, share a common blood supply so tympanic readings rise and fall rapidly with core temperature (deep body temperature). This makes the ear temperatures one of the best indicators of internal body (core) temperature.

What are normal temperature values?
Human body temperature varies from person to person, some run in the lower range (96-97°F) and some run in the higher range (98-99°F). Also, your normal body temperature changes throughout the day and can vary at different times of the year. It is very important to know your normal body temperature range. We recommend measuring yourself when healthy to establish reference temperatures. This will help you feel more confident of the measured temperature readings when ill.

Information You Should Know Before Operating the IR Ear Thermometer
How to correctly use the IR ear thermometer

  1. It is useful to try this thermometer on yourself first to become familiar with it’s operations.
  2. Do not take the temperature immediately upon waking. Sleeping on the ear can cause the temperature to be higher than normal.
  3. It is common for the readings to be slightly different between the right and left ear. We suggest using the same ear to obtain temperature readings.
  4. Straighten the ear canal for measuring:
    Children under 12 months: Straighten ear canal by gently pulling the ear back.

Children over 12 months and Adults: Straighten the ear canal by gently pulling the ear back and up.

5. This IR ear thermometer automatically converts the measured ear temperature reading to oral temperature.

6. Make sure the ear canal is dry, clean and free of wax or particulates.

OPERATIONAL HINTS:

  1. Between each measurement, please allow a 5-second interval in order to obtain the most accurate result.
  2. Ensure that the probe lens is clean before each measurement. Dirty probe lens may cause inaccurate measurement.
  3. Because the thermometer is a very sensitive device, it must be at room temperature (approx. 60.8 – 104.°F) for at least 30 minutes before using to avoid any incorrect measurements.

Warning:
Performance of the device may be degraded if the device is operated or stored outside the stated temperature and humidity range of if the patient’s temperature is below ambient (room) temperature.
