The measured temperature is converted into a value equal to a measurement in the mouth. The CE marking on this medical device indicates that it has been manufactured in accordance with the RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and other applicable directives and/or
regulations as specified in the EU declaration of conformity. The full responsibility to ensure this product complies with the standard is located at Kaz Europe Sàrl, Switzerland. The ASTM laboratory accuracy requirement in the display range from 37°C to 39°C (98 to 102°F) is ±0.2°C (±0.4°F) for infrared thermometers, while for mercury-in-glass and electronic thermometers meet this requirement according to ASTM standard E 667-86 and E 1112-86 ± 0.1 °C (±0.2 °F).
What is this medicine used for? This non-contact forehead thermometer is a battery-powered infrared thermometer intended for occasional home body temperature measurement for people of all ages, except for premature and small-for-gestational-age (SGA) babies, in which the center of the forehead is used for measurement.
Directions for use It's important to know a person's normal temperature when they're healthy. This is the only way to accurately diagnose a fever. Take multiple readings when the person is healthy to determine their normal temperature. A child's normal temperature can be between 37.7°C (99.9°F) and 36.1°C (97.0°F). Please note that this device will read up to 0.6°C (1.0°F) lower than a rectal digital thermometer because it provides an oral reading. NOTE: The thermometer and the person must be in the same ambient temperature for at least 30 minutes to avoid deviations in the measurement value.
ALWAYS hold the thermometer and your forehead still during measurement. DO NOT move the thermometer until you hear a beep (except in silent mode).
Breastfeeding mothers should avoid having their own or anyone else's temperature measured during and immediately after breastfeeding, as breastfeeding affects body temperature. Participants should not drink, eat, or engage in physical activity immediately before or during measurement. Remove headgear and wait 10 minutes before taking the measurement. Remove any dirt or hair from the forehead area before taking the temperature. Wait 10 minutes after cleaning your forehead before taking a measurement. ALWAYS take the temperature exactly as indicated. The measured temperature can fluctuate if the thermometer is placed in the wrong place. Under the circumstances below it is recommended to take three measurements at the same location and use the highest value as the starting point. • In newborns in the first 100 days after birth.
• In children under 3 years of age with a weakened immune system, it is crucial to know whether they have a fever. • While the user is learning how to use the thermometer. (Until they are comfortable with the instrument and measure consistent values.) General precautions: • Remove any dirt or sweat from the forehead area with a dry cloth before measuring the temperature. • Do not place any cooling or warming materials on the forehead for at least 30 minutes before measurement. • Remove blankets and pillows from the head and face before taking the temperature. • DO NOT perform measurements on areas with scar tissue, open wounds or abrasions. • ALWAYS store the thermometer in a dry, clean environment. DO NOT store the thermometer near sharp objects that could damage the sensor. Dirt, dust, and scratches affect the accuracy of temperature measurements.
1. Turn on
