Q2: How accurate is FORA’s thermometer?

The accuracy requirement of FORA’s thermometer is specified in ASTM E1965-98.

Infrared Thermometers:

1. IR10 and IR18:

(1) ±0.2℃(±0.4℉) for the range of 36.0℃to 39.0℃(96.8℉to 102.2℉)

(2) ±0.3℃(±0.5℉) for the range of ＜36.0℃(96.8℉) or ＞39.0℃(102.2℉)

7/28

2. IR19:

±0.3°C (±0.5°F) for the range of 35.0°C (96.8°F) ~ 41.0°C (102.2°F)

3. IR16, IR20, IR20 Professional and IR21:

(1) ±0.2℃(±0.4℉) for the range of 36.0℃to 39.0℃(96.8℉to 102.2℉)

(2) ±0.3℃(±0.5℉) from 34.0℃to 35.9℃(93.2℉to 96.6℉)

(3) ±0.3℃(±0.5℉) from 39.1℃to 42.2℃(102.4℉to 108.0℉)

4. Diamond NEXUS, Diamond NEXUS ECO and Diamond NEXUS MINI:

For Body Mode:

(1) ±0.2°C (±0.36°F) from 36.0°C (96.8°F) to 39.0°C (102.2°F)

(2) ±0.3°C (±0.54°F) from 32.0°C (89.6°F) to 35.9°C (96.6°F)

(3) ±0.3°C (±0.54°F) from 39.1°C (102.4°F) to 43.0°C ( 109.4°F)

For Object Mode:

± 1°C (±2°F) from 0°C (32°F) to 100°C (212°F)

5. FORA IR42

For Forehead:

(1) ±0.2°C (±0.36°F) from 35.0°C (95.0°F) to 42.0°C (107.6°F)

(2) ±0.2℃(0.3°F) in other range

Q3: What is the normal body temperature?

A widely accepted medical concept is that the normal body temperature for a healthy

adult is approximately 98.6°F/37.0° C. The origin of this concept is generally credited

to independently conducted research by two different groups in the 19th century–

Becquerel and Breschet, followed 33 years later by Wunderlich. Later, the study

“Sunnd-Levander M et al. 2002” in which findings of normal temperature means and

ranges for males and females are summarized in Table 1. The temperature can be

monitored at different sites, with the choice of site resulting in certain trade-offs in

terms of convenience and reliability. Being an internal measurement, rectal

temperature is very reliable and it is usually considered the “gold standard”, although

it is the least convenient. Oral temperature closely parallels rectal temperature in

terms of amplitude and acrophase.

Q4: What are the temperatures for all ages?

The body’s ability to regulate temperature changes as you get older. In general, older

people have more difficulty conserving heat. They’re also more likely to have lower

body temperatures.

Babies and children. In babies and children, the average body temperature ranges

from 36.6°C (97.9°F) to 37.2°C (99°F).

Adults. Among adults, the average body temperature ranges from 36.1°C (97°F) to

37.2°C (99°F).

Adults over age 65. In older adults, the average body temperature is lower than

36.2°C ( 98.6°F).

Q5: Why is my measurement too low or high?

Dirty lens and ambient temperature might affect the measurement. If the lens is dirty,

please follow the manual's instruction to clean lens with cotton swab. Besides, we

10/28

recommend user to place thermometer indoor for 30 minutes to adapt to temperature

and get the correct measurement.

Q6: Why the temple is the best place for forehead measurement??

The temporal artery connects to heart via the carotid artery, and it is shallow artery

which closes to skin surface. Therefore, we can learn the central body temperature

by measuring the skin surface over the temporal artery; also, it is user-friendly

measurement. This is where the design concept of forehead thermometer comes

from.

Q7: What is Fever?

Fever indicates that the body temperature is higher than normal. This symptom may

be potentially caused by infection, overdressing or immunization. Some people may

not experience fever even when they are ill. These include, but are not limited to,

infants younger than 3 months old, persons with compromised immune systems,

persons taking antibiotics, steroids or antipyretics (aspirin, ibuprofen, acetaminophen),

or persons with certain chronic illnesses. Please consult your physician when you

feel ill even if you do not have fever.

Generally speaking, in adult, fever is an oral temperature above 38°C (100.4°F) or

a rectal or ear temperature above 38.3°C (101°F). Besides, A child has a fever

when his or her rectal temperature is 38°C (100.4°F) or higher.
