USE, CARE & MAI TE A CE

Int nd d Us :
A digital thermometer is a device used to measure the body temperature of a patient by means of a
transducer coupled with an electric signal amplification, conditioning, and display unit.
Saf ty Information:
High, prolonged fever requires medical attention especially for young children. Please contact your•
physician.
Do not allow children to take their temperatures unattended.•
Read the enclosed instructions carefully to ensure accurate temperature readings. Temperature•
readings are affected by many factors 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 probe could present a hazard.•
Oral, underarm, and rectal temperatures vary by approximately 1°F (0.5°C).
Dispose of Batteries in accordance with locally applicable regulations, not with domestic waste.•
WARNING: Keep battery out of children’s reach. Swallowing battery could be harmful. 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 •
