Procheck FEVERGLOW IR1DY1-1-PRO Manual De Instrucciones página 13

Notes:
• Accumulation of ear wax on the probe can result in less accurate
temperature readings or cross infection between users. Therefore, it
is essential that the probe is clean before each measurement. For
cleaning, follow the instructions in the Cleaning section.
• After cleaning the measuring sensor with alcohol, wait 5 minutes be-
fore taking the next measurement in order to allow the thermometer
to reach its operating reference temperature.
• Ten short beeps and a red LCD back light alert the patient that
he/she may have a temperature above 99.5 °F (37.5 °C)
• For accurate measurement with an infant, it is best to have the child
lying flat with his/her head sideways so the ear is facing upwards.
For an older child or adult, it is best to stand behind and slightly to the
side of the patient.
• Always take the temperature in the same ear, since the temperature
readings may be different from ear to ear.
• Wait for a few minutes to take the ear temperature after sleeping.
• In the following situations it is recommended that three readings in
the same ear be taken and the highest used:
1. New born infants in the first 100 days.
2. Children under three years of age with a compromised im-
mune 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.
4. If the measurement is surprisingly low.
