DESCRIPTION OF THIS PRODUCT

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Digital medical thermometer MT 1622 is intended to use for oral, axillary, or rectal measuring of human temperature. Field of application: in medical institutions and at home for individual use. A display of values with an accuracy of 0.01 C. It can be recommended for family planning.
• The instrument may be used only for measuring body temperature!
• The minimum measurement time until the signaling tone [beep] must be maintained without exception!
• The thermometer contains small parts (battery, etc.) that can be swallowed by children. Therefore never leave the thermometer unattended to children.
• Protect the thermometer from hitting and striking!
• Avoid ambient temperatures above 60 °C. NEVER boil the thermometer!
• Use only the commercial disinfectants listed in the section «cleaning and disinfecting» to clean the thermometer. The thermometer must be intact when immersed in liquid disinfectant.
• The manufacturer recommends verifying the accuracy by an authorized laboratory every 2 years.

Batteries and electronic instruments must be disposed of in accordance with the locally applicable regulations, not with domestic waste.

TURNING ON THE THERMOMETER

To turn on the thermometer, push the button over the display window; a short signaling tone [beep] signals «thermometer ON». A display test is performed. All segments should be displayed. Then at an ambient temperature of less than 32 °C, an «L» and a flashing «°C» appear at the upper right of the display. The thermometer is now ready for use.

USING THE THERMOMETER

• Choose the preferred measuring method. During a measurement, the current temperature is displayed continuously. The «°C» symbol flashes during this period of time. If the signaling tone sounds (beep-beep-beep 10 times) and the «°C» is no longer flashing, this means that the measured increase in temperature is now less than 0.01 °C in 8 seconds and that the thermometer is ready for reading.
• To prolong the life of the battery, turn it off after use by pressing the operating button briefly. Otherwise, the thermometer will automatically turn off after about 10 minutes.

STORAGE OF MEASURED VALUES

If you hold the button down for more than 3 seconds when turning the thermometer on, the maximum temperature stored automatically at the last measurement will be displayed. At the same time, a small «M» for memory will appear at the right of the display. After 3 more seconds, this value will disappear and the thermometer will switch to the normal measurement mode. Then the stored value is erased.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

When the «▼»-symbol appears, the battery is exhausted and needs replacing. Please remove the compartment lid of the thermometers and replace the exhausted battery by positioning the + at the top.

Measuring methods

• In the armpit (axillary) / 34.7 – 37.3 °C
  Wipe the underarm with a dry towel. Place the measuring sensor 4 under the arm into the center of the armpit so the tip is touching the skin and position the patient’s arm next to the patient’s body. This ensures that the room air does not affect the reading. Because the axillary takes more time to reach its stable temperature wait at least 5 minutes, regardless of the beep sound.

• In the mouth (oral) / 35.5 – 37.5 °C
  Do not eat or drink anything hot or cold 10 minutes before the measurement. The mouth should remain closed up to 2 minutes before starting a reading. Position the thermometer in one of the two pockets under the tongue, to the left or right of the root of the tongue. The measuring sensor 4 must be in good contact with the tissue. Close your mouth and breathe evenly through the nose to prevent the measurement from being influenced by inhaled/exhaled air. If this is not possible due to blocked airways, another method for measuring should be used.
  Approx. measuring time: 1 minute!

• In the anus (rectal) / 36.6 – 38.0 °C
  Attention: For the prevention of rectal perforation in children(younger than 3 years), we recommend using another measuring method, or the use of a thermometer with flexible tip. Carefully insert the measuring sensor 4 of the thermometer 2 to 3 cm into the anal aperture. The use of a probe cover and the use of a lubricant is recommended. If you are unsure of this measurement method, you should consult a professional for guidance/training.
  Approx. measuring time: 1 minute!
