Forehead Thermometer
Instruction Manual
Please read these instructions carefully before using
the instrument and keep them in a safe place.
The Forehead Thermometer is a high quality product
incorporating the latest technology and tested in accordance with
international standards. With its unique technology, the Forehead
Thermometer can provide a stable, heat-interference-free reading
with each measurement. The instrument performs a self-test
every time it is switched on to always guarantee the specified
accuracy of measurements.
The Forehead Thermometer allows a simple and quick
measurement of the body temperature. Please keep in mind
that, - like any skin temperature -, the temperature at the
temporal area might differ from the core body temperature (e.g.
obtained by a rectal probe), which is due to a basic physiologic
effect called vasoconstriction. Since vasoconstriction can occur
in the early stages of fever, resulting in a cool skin effect, the
recorded temperature using a forehead thermometer may be
suspiciously low.
Skin temperature of babies reacts very quickly on ambient
temperature. Therefore do not take a measurement while or
after nursing; skin temperature may be lower than core
temperature.
If the measurement result is not consistent with the patient's
finding, always double check the result by another core body
temperature measurement, e.g. use an IR – eardrum
thermometer or a rectal pen-type thermometer.
Batteries and electronic instruments must be disposed
of inaccordance with the locally applicable regulations,
not with domestic waste.
