1. Introduction
FC-IR101 measures the body temperature through receiving the infrared energy radiation
from the object of objects. It is with forehead temperature mode, and ear temperature
mode. The measurement result directly shows on the LED screen.
The device is widely used for home healthcare, medical institutes and many other
occasions.
The product is mainly composed with infrared temperature sensors, signal receiving
processor, buttons, buzzer, LED display, battery, etc.
1.1 Indications for Use
The infrared thermometer is intended for the measurement and monitoring of human body
temperature by doctor or customers in the hospital or home.
1.2 Safety Information
Warnings：
■Read the instruction manual before using this device.
■The measurement results cannot replace the physician diagnosis.
■The thermometer is placed in the position not touched by children.
■Never point the device at ones’ eyes when measuring.
■Do not try to change the product factory settings.
■Use the thermometer in a stable temperature environment. I
f
the environment
temperature changes too much, for example from outdoor to indoor, please put the
thermometer and wait for about half an hour minutes before measuring.
■After measuring extremely high or low temperature, don’t measure body
temperatures immediately, you should measure 10 minutes later.
■Prohibit the thermometer into any liquid.
■Don’t use in high or low temperature environment for a long time.
■No collision, falling and sharp objects mix, it is forbidden to disassemble the
thermometer.
■Don’t use in strong electromagnetic interference environment.
■Avoid using the thermometer when drying the hair, drenching water, sweating, and
putting on skin cosmetics.
■Don’t measure the temperature after doing sports, washing and 30 minutes before
dinner.
■Portable RF communications equipment (including peripherals such as antenna
cables and external antennas) should be used no closer than 30 cm (12 inches) to
any part of the thermometer, including cables specified by the manufacturer.
Otherwise, degradation of the performance of this equipment could result.
■No special maintenance is needed to the use process. Please contact the vendor or
manufacturer for fault.
2. Principle
Any object in which temperature is higher than absolute zero degree will transmit some
infrared radiation energy according to its own temperature. The radiation energy and its

distribution per wavelength are closely associated with its object temperature. Based on
the principle, it is possible to measure the forehead object temperature and then adjust the
offset between forehead temperature and actual body temperature, which will result in
the correct display of body temperature.

The right ear reading may differ from the reading taken at the left ear. Therefore,
always take the temperature in the same ear.
Children under 1 year: Pull the ear straight back.

Children aged 1 year to adult: Pull the ear up and back.
Do not force the thermometer into the ear canal. Otherwise, the ear canal may get
injured.
Be careful when taking temperature on a child, whose ear canal is small.
●Keep the battery beyond the child's reach and prevent it from being swallowed. If the
battery is swallowed, please contact the doctor immediately.
●The measurement results from thermometer is only for reference and cannot replace the
clinical diagnosis result. If feeling abnormal, please consult the doctor in time.

11. Cleaning and maintenance

Use only the Finicare-approved substances and methods listed in this chapter to clean or
disinfect your equipment. Warranty does not cover damage caused by using unapproved
substances or methods.
Finicare has validated the cleaning and disinfection instructions included in this User
Manual. It is the responsibility of the healthcare professional to ensure that the instructions
are followed so as to ensure adequate cleaning and disinfection.
11.1 General Points
Keep your thermometer free of dust and dirt. To prevent the device from damage, please
follow the procedure:
Use only recommended cleaning substances and disinfectants listed in this manual.
Others may cause damage (not covered by warranty), reduce product lifetime or cause
safety hazards.
Always dilute according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Unless otherwise specified, do not immerse any part of the device in liquid.
Do not pour liquid onto the system.
Do not allow liquid to enter the case.
Never use abrasive material (such as steel wool or silver polish).
Inspect the device after they are cleaned and disinfected.
Warning
1. I
f
you spill liquid on the probe sensor, LCD or they are accidentally immersed in liquid,
contact your service personnel or service engineer.
2. Before cleaning or disinfection make sure that the device is switched off and
disconnected from the power line.
3. After cleaning with isopropyl alcohol, allow the thermometer to air dry. Use a soft, dry
cloth to clean the thermometer body and LCD display.
4. Do not use abrasive cleaners. Never submerge this thermometer in water or any other
liquid.
5. Please keep the inner cavity o
f
the sensors and probes clean, otherwise it will affect
the measuring accuracy.
11.2 Cleaning
If the point(s) has been in contact with the patient without the replaceable ear cover
co-packaged, e.g. surface of infrared probe and protective cover, then cleaning and
disinfection is required after every use to avoid contamination. If there has been no patient
contact and there is no visible contamination, including the handle, battery cover and
compartment, LCD, keys and inside surface of the protective cover, or when the probe is
used with the replaceable ear cover, daily cleaning and disinfection is appropriate, and the
suggestion is do it weekly.
The validated cleaning agents for cleaning the monitor and reusable accessories are:
Isopropanol (70%)
Cleaning agents should be applied and removed using a clean, soft, non-abrasive cloth or
paper towel.
To do surface-cleaning to the thermometer, please follow these steps:

1. Switch of
f
the monitor and disconnect it from the power line.
2. Wipe the entire exterior surface, including the handle, battery cover and compartment,
LCD, keys and inside surface of the protective cover, of the equipment using a soft cloth
dampened with the cleaning solution thoroughly until no visible contaminants remain.
3. Wipe of
f
the cleaning solution with a fresh cloth or towel, dampened with tap water
after cleaning until no visible cleaning agent remains.
4. Dry the monitor in a ventilated and cool place.
11.3 Disinfection
If the point(s) has been in contact with the patient without the replaceable ear cover
co-packaged, e.g. surface of infrared probe and protective cover, then cleaning and
disinfection is required after every use to avoid patient cross infection. If there has been no
patient contact and there is no visible contamination, including the handle, battery cover
and compartment, LCD, keys and inside surface of the protective cover, or when the probe
is used with the replaceable ear cover, daily cleaning and disinfection is appropriate, and
the suggestion is do it weekly.
For the whole unit, low level disinfection is appropriate since it is a complete surface
contacting device. Clean the device before disinfection. The validated disinfectant for
cleaning the device is:
Isopropanol (70%)
Since Isopropanol is used for both cleaning and disinfecting, a new cloth is required to be
used for the disinfection step.
To disinfect the monitor, follow these steps:
1. Switch off the monitor and disconnect it from the power line.
2. Wipe the display screen using a soft, clean cloth dampened with the disinfectant
solution.
3. Wipe the exterior surface o
f
the equipment using a soft cloth dampened with the
disinfectant solution.
4. Wipe of
f
the disinfectant solution with a dry cloth after disinfection i
f
necessary
5. Dry the monitor for at least 30 minutes in a ventilated and cool place.
