Some Helpful Guidelines For Best Results

When Using the Forehead Thermometer

• Call your doctor when your child has diarrhea,

vomiting or changes in appetite, lethargy

(sluggishness) or is unusually sleepy.

• It is important to know each individual’s

Normal temperature when they are well.

This is the only way to accurately diagnose a

fever. Take multiple readings when healthy to

determine Normal temperature.

• A child’s normal temperature can be as high as

99.9°F or as low as 97.0°F. Re-measure with a

standard digital thermometer for conﬁrmation,

especially on infants (It is recommended use a

digital thermometer rectally on infants and on

sleeping infants if there is a question about the

measurement. Be sure to note this unit reads

1°F lower than a rectal digital measurement).

1. The Advantages of your Forehead Thermometer

Measurement in 3 seconds

The innovative infrared technology allows measurement of forehead temperature

in only 3 seconds.

Accurate and reliable

Due to the unique probe assembly construction, the advanced infrared sensor, and the

complete calibration process this unit can offer a very accurate and reliable temperature

measurement comparable to one taken from the oral site with a regular digital thermometer.

Gentle and Easy to Use

• The Forehead Thermometer is non-invasive. A measurement can be taken even while a

child is sleeping.

• Design is easy to hold and use.

• The Forehead Thermometer is less threatening to a child than a rectal thermometer and

easier to use than other methods.

Auto-Display Memory

The last reading is automatically displayed for 3 seconds when the unit is switched ON.

Multiple Reading Recalls

Users can recall the last 12 readings when entering the MemoryTracker™ recall mode, enabling

efﬁcient tracking of temperature history and variations.

Safe and Hygienic

• No risk of broken glass or mercury ingestion.

• Completely safe for use on children.

Fever InSight™ Feature

Fever InSight helps you to better understand the meaning of your child’s temperature with

the colour indicated on the display. The screen displays Green if no fever, Yellow when

the temperature is slightly elevated and a Red alert for fever. 10 audible beeps indicate

temperatures + 99.5°F alert that the patient may have a fever.

Color Range (°F) Meaning

Green 97.0-99.5 Acceptable

Yellow 99.6-100.8 Elevated

Red 100.9+ Possible High Fever詐

4. How the Forehead Thermometer Measures Body Temperature

The Forehead Thermometer measures infrared energy radiated from the skin above of the

eyebrow area and the surrounding tissue. This energy is collected through the lens and

converted to a temperature value. Temperature readings obtained by scanning above the

eyebrow area will provide the greatest accuracy.

The Forehead Thermometer has been clinically tested and proven to be safe and

accurate when used in accordance with its operating instruction manual.

5. Control Displays and Symbols

LCD Display Display Meaning Description

thermometer is ready for the measurement.

4. Place the probe gently and ﬂush onto the area approximately 1/2 inch

above the center of the eyebrow. If the eyebrow area is covered with

hair, sweat or dirt, please clean the area beforehand to improve the

reading accuracy.

instrument steadily from 1/2 inch above the center of the eyebrow to

1/2 inch above the tail of the eyebrow area and back up again. A long

beep will sound after 3 seconds to signal measurement complete.

If the probe movement is too slow to reach the tail of the eyebrow

before the long beep sound is heard, repeat the measurement as

above from step 4, and move the probe a little quicker this time.

To avoid an inaccurate measurement, note the following:

• Patients should stay in steady - state room condition for at least 30 minutes.

• Don’t remove the measurement device from the measuring area before hearing the

ﬁnal beep.

• Don’t take a measurement while or immediately after nursing a baby.

• Don’t use the forehead thermometer in high humidity environments.

• Patients should not drink, eat, or be physically active before/while taking the measurement.

• Before placing the thermometer sensor onto the measurement area, remove dirt, hair,

or sweat.

• Use an alcohol swab to carefully clean the sensor and wait for 5 minutes before taking a

measurement on another patient.

• Always take the temperature in the same location, since the temperature readings may

vary from different locations.

• In the following situations it is recommended that three temperatures in the same location

be taken and the highest one taken as the reading:

1) Newborn infants in the ﬁrst 100 days.

2) Children under three years of age with a compromised immune system and for whom the

presence or absence of fever is critical.

3) When the user is learning how to use the thermometer for the ﬁrst time until he/she has

familiarized himself/herself with the instrument and obtains consistent readings.
