Introduction
Intended Use
Thermometer is intended for the intermittent measurement and
monitoring of human body temperature from forehead measurement
at home.
A control measurement using a conventional thermometer is
recommended in the following cases :
1. If the reading is surprisingly low,
2. For new-born infants up to 100 days old,
3. For children under three years of age who have a weakened
immune system or who react unusually in the presence or absence of
fever.
How does it work
The thermometer measures the infrared heat generated by the surface
of the skin over the vessel and its surrounding tissue.
The thermometer then converts it into a temperature value.
Note : The thermometer does not emit any infrared signal.

Note :
• As the forehead measurement temperature is likely to be affected by sweat, oil
and the surroundings, the reading shall be taken as a reference only.
• If the detecting sensor is placed at an angle close to the forehead measurement,
the reading will be affected by surrounding temperature. Babies’ skin reacts very
quickly to the ambient temperature. Therefore, do not take their temperature with
MINI during or after breastfeeding because the skin temperature may then be
lower than the internal body temperature.
• If the reading is < 32°C (89.6°F), the display will show "L" together with red
backlight and three short beeps.
• If the reading is ≥ 32°C (89.6°F) and < 37.5 °C (99.5°F), the display will show the
reading together with green backlight and three short beeps.

under a running tap or submerge it into water.
• Store the thermometer in a cool and dry location. Keep free from dust and away
from direct sunlight.
Normal Body Temperature & Fever
Information
The temperature in the forehead and temple area differs from the internal
temperature, which is taken orally or rectally.
Vasoconstriction, an effect which constricts the blood vessels and cools the skin,
can occur during the early stages of a fever. In this case, the temperature measured
by the Biocare MINI thermometer may be unusually low.
If the measurement therefore does not match the patient’s own perception or is
unusually low, repeat the measurement every 15 minutes. As a reference, you can
also measure the internal body temperature using a conventional oral or rectal
thermometer.
Body temperature can vary from one individual/person to next. It also varies by
location on the body and time of day. Below shows the statistical normal ranges
from different sites. Please keep in mind that temperatures measured from
different sites, even at the same time, should not be directly compared. Fever
indicates that the body temperature is higher than normal.
This symptom may be caused by infection, overdressing or immunization. Some
people may not experience fever even when they are ill. These include, but are
not limited to, infants younger than 3 months old, persons with compromised
immune systems, persons taking antibiotics, steroids or antipyretics (aspirin,
ibuprofen, acetaminophen), or persons with certain chronic illnesses. Please
consult your physician when you feel ill even if you do not have fever.
