How To Take A Reading - Ear
The ear is an ideal measurement
site because body temperature is
regulated by the hypothalamus,
which shares the same blood
supply as the tympanic
membrane or more commonly
called eardrum.
NOTE: Make sure the measurement sensor is clean before taking a reading.
Attempting to take a measurement anywhere else on the body may result in
an inaccurate reading.
1. Firmly place a new clean lens cover on the
probe tip. Ensure the probe cover ts snuggly
onto the probe tip, Fig 1.
2. If the thermometer is OFF, press the POWER
button to turn it ON. The screen will run a quick
self test. The thermometer is ready to take
a measurement.
3. Insert the probe VERY gently and slowing into the
ear canal.
• Hold the thermometer so the probe faces straight in
the direction of the eardrum, Fig 3.
• It is important to point the probe tip toward the
eardrum and is inserted inside the ear canal until
slight resistance is felt.
• Hold the outer ear and gently pull it up and toward
the back of the head to
straighten the ear canal, Fig 3.

Important Information Regarding Electromagnetic
Compatibility (EMC)
With the increased number of electronic devices such as PC’s and mobile
(cellular) telephones, medical devices in use may be susceptible to
electromagnetic interference from other devices. Electromagnetic interference
may result in incorrect operation of the medical device and create a potentially
unsafe situation. Medical devices should also not interfere with other devices.
In order to regulate the requirements for EMC (Electro Magnetic Compat-
ibility) with the aim to prevent unsafe product situations, the EN60601-1-2
standard has been implemented. This standard denes the levels of immunity
to electromagnetic interferences as well as maximum levels of electromagnetic
emissions for medical devices. Medical devices manufactured by HealthSmart
International conform to this EN60601-1-2:2007 standard for both immunity
and emissions.
Nevertheless, special precautions need to be observed: The use of accessories
and cables other than those specied by manufacturer, with the exception of
cables sold by manufacturer as replacement parts for internal components,
may result in increased emission or decreased immunity of the device.
• The medical devices should not be used adjacent to or stacked with other
equipment. In case adjacent or stacked use is necessary, the medical device
should be observed to verify normal operation in the conguration in which
it will be used.
• Refer to further guidance below regarding the EMC environment in which
the device should be used.
