temples, neck, wrists) have not been clinically validated.
6. The temperature reading is taken in the area where the temperature is projected.
Make certain that a 1 cm (0,4 inches) area is free all the way around the temperature
projection area: it is of major importance to make sure that this area does not include
eyebrows, hair or clothing. If necessary, brush away any hair from the forehead but
remember, this must be done a few minutes beforehand or the temperature reading
will be higher than the actual body temperature.
7. When taking a temperature reading, please note that in the presence of oils,
make-up or an oxygen mask, and in the case of elderly, the temperature detected may
be lower than the actual body temperature (see also par. #4.2).
8. The forehead temperature reading can be affected by profuse sweating, superficial
wounds or head injury.
9. Do not use the thermometer on a sweaty forehead, since the temperature
reading would be unreliable. Read the par. #4.2.
10. In the cases at #7, #8, #9, take the temperature reading on the alternative area
(read the par. #4.2.).
11. The gilt waveguide (fig. 1) is the most delicate part of the thermometer. It is
composed of a gold-plated concave mirror that must be kept clean, crystal clear and
intact. Any damage, dust or dirt will alter the temperature reading. To prevent dust or
dirt infiltrations in the waveguide, always close the cap.
12. Do not handle the thermometer for longer than strictly necessary before taking
the reading.
13. Do not use the thermometer in direct contact with the ear or other parts of the body.
14. Do not use the thermometer in direct contact with objects or liquids. Do not
submerge the thermometer in water or other liquids and keep it away from sources
of heat and out of direct sunlight. If water seeps into the thermometer, contact your
Dealer immediately for Technical Service.
15. Do not use VisioFocus on a subject making a call with a mobile or cordless
telephone or in the presence of strong electromagnetic fields.
16. Avoid knocking and dropping it, and do not use it if damaged or if not functioning
properly.
2.2 Attention
1. Failure to observe the above-mentioned precautions (par. #2.1) may lead
to very low or very high temperature readings, which cannot be attributed to
product's malfunctions.
2. The aiming lights meet the photo-biological safety requirements outlined
in standard EN 62471. No harm can be caused should the aiming lights be
accidentally pointed in the eyes: the beams are harmless!
3. VisioFocus is a delicate measurement instrument and must not be used by little
children. It is not a toy. Keep it out of the reach of children or persons with limited
sensorimotor skills. Small parts can be ingested or inhaled.

physician what type of thermometer you are using and in which part of the body the
temperature reading was taken.
