Forehead Thermometer Advantages

Infrared Forehead Thermometer measures core body temperature, which is the temperature of a body’s vital organs. (See Figure 1) This thermometer is designed to measure the temperature of the skin surface over the temporal artery, a major artery of the head. The temporal artery is connected to the heart via the carotid artery, directly leading from the aorta, the main trunk of the arterial system. It offers constant blood flow. Therefore, body temperature changes are reflected sooner in the forehead than they are in other parts of the body such as oral, rectal and underarm.

Temperature Taking Hints

To ensure that the reading always reflects the body temperature accurately, you need to take account of the following factors which may affect an accurate reading.

It is important to know each individual’s normal temperature when they are well. This is the only way to accurately diagnose a fever. To determine normal temperature, take multiple readings when healthy. Re-measure with a standard digital thermometer for confirmation.
Users must be inside for 30 minutes before taking a measurement.
Note: Users and the thermometer should be in the same ambient temperature for at least 10 minutes before taking a reading.
Users should not drink, eat, or be physically active such as bathing, showering, shampooing and hair drying before/while taking the measurement. Remove hat and hair and wait 10 minutes before taking a reading.
. Oils or cosmetics on the forehead may give a lower temperature reading than the actual one. Remove dirt from the forehead before taking a measurement. Wait at least 10 minutes after washing the forehead area before taking a reading.
Holding a hand on the forehead for any length of time will affect the temperature reading.
Do not take temperature over scar tissue, open sores or abrasions.
Do not use the thermometer on a perspiring or sweating forehead, as this may affect the reading.
Don’t take a measurement while or immediately after nursing a baby.
Do not take temperatures with this thermometer near places that are very hot, such as fireplaces and stoves.
The probe window of the thermometer is the most delicate part of the device. Do not touch the probe window. The accuracy of the reading may be affected if the probe window is damaged or dirty.
If the thermometer is stored in a significantly different environment than testing location, place it in the testing location for approximately 30 minutes prior to use.
It is not intended for use in the oxygen rich environment and presence of flammable anesthetic mixture with air, oxygen or nitrous oxide.

FCC Information

Caution: Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user authority to operate the equipment.

Note :
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try and correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the distance between the equipment and the receiver.
Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
The device has been evaluated to meet general RF exposure requirement. The device can be used in portable exposure condition without restriction.

Electromagnetic Compatibility Information

The device satisfies the EMC requirements of the international standard IEC 60601-1-2. The requirements are satisfied under the conditions described in the table below. The device is an electrical medical product and is subject to special precautionary measures with regard to EMC which must be published in the instructions for use. Portable and mobile HF communications equipment can affect the device. Use of the unit in conjunction with non-approved accessories can affect the device negatively and alter the electromagnetic compatibility. The device should not be used directly adjacent to or between other electrical equipment.

Electromagnetic Compatibility Information

NOTE 1At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency range applies.
NOTE 2 These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects and people. a The ISM(industrial, scientific and medical) bands between 0,15 MHz and 80 MHz are 6,765 MHzto6,795 MHz;13,553 MHz to 13,567 MHZ;26,957 MHz to 27,283 MHz; and 40,66 MHz to 40,70 MHz. The amateur radio bands between 0,15 MHz and 80 MHz are 1,8 MHz to 2,0 MHz,3,5 MHz to 4,0 MHz,5,3 MHz to 5,4 MHz,7 MHz to 7,3 MHz,10,1 MHz to 10,15 MHz,14 MHz to 14,2 MHz,18,07 MHz to 18,17 MHz,21,0MHz to 21,4MHz,24,89 MHz to 24,99 MHz,28,0 MHz to 29,7 MHz and 50,0 MHz to 54,0 MHZ.

The compliance levels in the ISM frequency bands between 150 kHz and 80 MHz and in the frequency range 80 MHz to 2,7 GHz are intended to decrease the likelihood that mobile/portable communications equipment could cause interference if it is inadvertently brought into patient areas. For this reason, an additional factor of 10/3 has been incorporated into the formulae used in calculating the recommended separation distance for transmitters in these frequency ranges.

Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio(cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the device is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the device should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as
re-orienting or relocating the device.

Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 3 V/m.

WARNINGS!

This device should not be used in the vicinity or on the top of other electronic equipment such as cell phone, transceiver or radio control products. If you have to do so, the device should be observed to verify normal operation.
The use of accessories and power cord other than those specified, with the exception of cables sold by the manufacturer of the equipment or system as replacement parts for internal components, may result in increased emissions or decreased immunity of the equipment or system.
Use of this equipment adjacent to or stacked with other equipment should be avoided because it could result in improper operation.
Use of accessories, transducers and cables other than those specified or provided by the manufacturer of this equipment could result in increased electromagnetic emissions or decreased electromagnetic immunity of this equipment and result in improper operation.
Portable RF communications equipment (including peripherals such as antenna cables and external antennas) should be used no closer than 30 cm (12 inches) to any part of the device,including cables specified by the manufacturer. Otherwise, degradation of the performance of this equipment could result.
Portable and mobile RF communications can affect the device.
The device needs special pre-cautions regarding EMC according to the EMC information provided in the accompany documents.
Do not use the devices in the MR environment.
The Operator should not use the system and should inform the customer service, if the ESSENTIAL PERFORMANCE is lost or degraded due to EM DISTURBANCES.
PRECAUTION: The performance of the device may be degraded should one or more of the following occur:
Operation outside the manufacturer’s stated temperature and humidity range.
Storage outside the manufacturer’s stated temperature and humidity range.
Mechanical shock (for example, drop test) or degraded sensor.
Patient temperature is below ambient temperature.
