Digital Fever Thermometer
USE, CARE &
MAINTENANCE

Intended Use:
A digital thermometer is a device used to measure the body temperature o a patient by means
o a transducer coupled with an electric signal ampli ication, conditioning, and display unit.
Safety Infor ation:
• High, prolonged ever requires medical attention especially or young children.
Please contact your physician.
• Do not allow children to take their temperatures unattended.
• Read the enclosed instructions care ully to ensure accurate temperature readings.
Temperature readings are a ected by many actors including exercise, drinking hot or
cold beverages prior to taking a reading as well as technique.
• Do not allow children to walk or run during temperature taking. The rigid probe could
present a hazard. Oral, underarm, and rectal temperatures vary by approximately 1°F
(0.5°C).
• WARNING: Keep battery out o children’s reach. Swallowing battery could be harm ul.
Battery should not be recharged or placed into extreme heat as it may explode.
• CAUTION:
Do not take an axillary temperature through patient’s clothing. Direct probe
cover to skin contact is required.
• CAUTION: Biting the probe tip while taking a temperature may result in damage to the
probe.
• CAUTION: Do not autoclave. Please note the cleaning procedures described in this
manual
How to take te perature:
1.Place a probe cover care ully over the tip (Figure 1). Select
oral, underarm, or rectal as your measurement site based on the
individual requiring a temperature measurement.
2.Push the Multi-Function button located at the end o the thermometer. The display will
read: “188.8 ° ”. This is a unction check indicating the unit is working properly. The
last measured temperature will be displayed or approximately 2-seconds. Next the
thermometer will read L°F.(or L°C).
3.The °F or °C symbol will lash when the unit is ready to measure temperature. Please note
that the “ ” indicates a low battery. Do not expect an accurate temperature reading i this low
battery indicator is present. An “ERR” message in the window indicates your unit is not unc-
tioning properly.
4.Depending on the measurement site, the unit will complete measurement in 40 (rectal), 60
(oral), or approximately 90 (axillary) seconds. When the F° or C° symbol stops lashing and
the display reads a consistant temperature, the peak temperature has been reached.
5.Read and record the temperature and time or re erence. The reading will automatically
be stored in the memory.
6.Push the Multi-Function button to turn the unit o . This will prolong the battery li e. I

The mouth should remain closed up to 5 minutes be ore attempting a read-
ing.
2.Place the probe tip well under the tongue as indicated (Figure 2).
3.Instruct children not to bite down on the probe.
4.The peak temperature should be reached in approximately 60 seconds. Opening the mouth
or improper placement o the probe tip could result in a longer time or a reading.
Rectal use:
1.Commonly used or babies, young children or when it is di icult to take an oral or under-
arm temperature.
2.A ter placing the probe cover on the thermometer, lubricate with a water-soluble jelly or pe-
troleum jelly.
3.Gently insert the probe tip no more than 1/2 inch or 1.3 cm into the rectum. Do not orce the
tip into the rectum i resistance is encountered.
4.Dispose o the used probe cover and wash the thermometer as recommended.
5.The peak temperature should be reached in approximately 40 seconds.
Underar (Axillary) use:
1.Wipe underarm with a dry towel.
2.Place probe tip in armpit and bring arm down against the body.
3.The probe should be pointing upward in the same direction as your body i possible.
4.The time required or an accurate underarm temperature may be 90 seconds or longer
depending on placement o the probe and closure o the arm against the body.
Operation of the °F - °C feature (How to change the measuring scale) From the “OFF” po-
sition, hold down the Multi-Function button or 5-sec. The thermometer will automatically
change rom °F - °C or °C - °F. Release the button. You may toggle between °C +°F. A ter 3-
sec. in one scale the °C or °F will lash, indicating ready to measure.
