Safety Information, Warnings and
Cautions
The manual, accessories, directions for use, all precautionary information, and specifications
should be read before use. Refer to Masimo Operator's Manuals for additional safety
information, warnings, and cautions.
Safety Warnings and Cautions
WARNING: Do not use TIR-1 during magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or in an MRI
environment.
WARNING: Do not place TIR-1 or accessories in any position that might cause it to fall on the
patient.
WARNING: Do not use TIR-1 during defibrillation.
WARNING: Do not use TIR-1 during electrosurgery.
WARNING: Do not use TIR-1 in the presence of flammable anesthetics or other flammable
substances, oxygen-enriched environments, or nitrous oxide to avoid the risk of explosion.
WARNING: Do not leave the TIR-1 unattended around children. Small items such as the
battery door, battery, and lanyard may become choking hazards.
Performance Warnings and Cautions
WARNING: TIR-1 should not be used as the sole basis for medical decisions. It must be used
in conjunction with clinical signs and symptoms.
WARNING: Do not use TIR-1 if it appears or is suspected to be damaged. Damage to internal
parts can result in no or inaccurate readings.
WARNING: Do not repair, open, or modify TIR-1. Damage to internal parts can result in no or
inaccurate readings.
WARNING: Do not use the TIR-1 if the internal parts have been exposed to liquids. Damage to
the internal parts may result in no or inaccurate readings.
CAUTION: Remove perspiration and excess oil from the forehead as this may affect the
accuracy of the reading.
CAUTION: Do not use on patients with the following as they may affect the accuracy of the
readings:
•Scarred tissue or tissue compromised by skin disorders or trauma in the
vicinity of the forehead measurement area.
•Patients treated with certain drug therapies that may affect normal body
temperature or use on patients while skin is exposed to external sources of
heat or cold such as direct sunlight, fireplace heat, cold compress therapies,
air conditioner flow, etc.
CAUTION: Keep the TIR-1 away from electrical equipment that emits radio frequencies to
minimize radio interference. Radio interference may result in no or inaccurate readings.

TIR-1 Thermometer Safety Information, Warnings and Cautions
www.masimo.com 10 Masimo
CAUTION: When using the TIR-1 Thermometer connected via Bluetooth, keep both devices
within the recommended 8 to 10 feet range of each other; moving outside of this range may
cause a loss in connection.
CAUTION: When paired to a Masimo device, the time and date of the Masimo device is used
as the time stamp.
CAUTION: When paired to a Masimo device, the temperature unit of measure of TIR-1 and the
Masimo device is are not synchronized.
Note: If coming from a warmer or cooler environment or after a period of exertion, allow the
patient and thermometer to acclimate to room temperature for 20 minutes prior to taking
temperature.
Note: Replace protective sensor cap when not in use.
Cleaning and Service Warnings and Cautions
WARNING: Properly use and dispose of Alkaline batteries or they may leak or explode.
WARNING: Remove alkaline batteries when the TIR-1 will not be in use for more than 30
days to avoid damage to the device due to batteries that may leak.
WARNING: Replace both batteries at the same time to avoid mixing fully and partially
charged batteries. These actions may cause the batteries to leak; resulting in possible
damage to the device.
CAUTION: Use only AA alkaline batteries. Use of non-alkaline batteries may affect the
accuracy of the battery status indicator.
CAUTION: Only perform maintenance procedures specifically described in the manual;
otherwise, return TIR-1 for servicing. Improper maintenance may result in damage to the
internal parts. Damage to internal parts may result in no or inaccurate readings.
CAUTION: Do not clean TIR-1 with any chemical other than those specified in Maintenance
and Cleaning of this manual. These substances may affect the device’s materials and damage
internal parts.
CAUTION: Do not submerge TIR-1 in any cleaning solution or attempt to sterilize by
autoclave, irradiation, steam, gas, ethylene oxide or any other method. This will seriously
damage the device.
CAUTION: Do not use undiluted bleach (5% - 5.25% sodium hypochlorite) or any cleaning
solution other than those recommended in Maintenance and Cleaning of this manual.
Permanent damage to TIR-1 may occur if other unspecified solutions are used.
CAUTION: Never submerge TIR-1 in water or any other liquid solution this may cause
permanent damage to the TIR-1.
Note: Ensure that sensor end is clean and free of debris. See Maintenance and Cleaning of
this manual for proper cleaning instructions.

Chapter 1: Technology Overview
About Body Temperature and Fever
Body temperature can vary from one person to the next and also varies by location on the
body and time of day. Temperatures measured from different sites, even at the same time,
should not be directly compared.
Fever indicates that body temperature is higher than normal. This may be caused by a
number of conditions including infection, overexertion, 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.

Chapter 3: Basic Setup and Use
The following information provides instructions to setup TIR-1 and begin taking patient
temperatures, as well as pair to a Masimo device.
1. Install batteries into TIR-1.
2. Take a patient's temperature using TIR-1.
3. Pair TIR-1 to a Masimo device to display patient's temperature measurements on
the Masimo device screen.
Installing Batteries
1. To remove Battery Cover, press down at the arrow mark and also on the center of
the cover; SLIDE it in the direction of the arrow as shown in Figure 1.
2. Install (2) AA alkaline batteries with polarity as shown in the battery
compartment. All LCD display segments will briefly illuminate during self-test, and
you will hear a “beep”.
3. Close the battery cover by pressing down both the arrow mark and the bottom of
the cover, SLIDING the cover in the opposite direction of the arrow as shown in
Figure 2.
Figure 1 Figure 2 Figure 3
DO NOT press the battery cover to force it closed. If the battery cover does not close tight as
shown in Figure 3, remove the battery cover by SLIDING as described in Step 1. Repeat Step 3
to close the battery cover tight.
CAUTION: Closing the battery cover by force may damage the battery cover latch and result
in battery damage. Always follow the instructions and close the battery cover by SLIDING
only.
•Set Date and Time as described in Setting Date/Time on page 21.
•TIR-1 defaults to °F temperature scale and BODY mode.
Note: If TIR-1 will be stored for a long period, remove the batteries.

Body Temperature Measurement
Figure 1
Figure 2
1. Remove the protective cap (if installed)
and inspect the sensor. Remove any
debris and clean the sensor as
necessary.
2. Remove hair and perspiration from
center forehead area as shown in Figure
1.
•If the patient was lying face down
or was wearing a hat or garment
covering the skin, allow the
forehead to be exposed to the air in
the room for 5 minutes prior to
taking reading.
•Relocate patient if in drafty
environment.
3. Aim at center forehead area 1/2" to 2"
(1.2 to 5 cm) away from skin surface. Be
sure thermometer is perpendicular to
skin surface (at right angle) as shown in
Figure 2.
4. Press and release the Power/Start
Measurement button. See Features on
page 15. Hold thermometer in place
until a double beep is heard and the
temperature is displayed on the LCD.
Ensure the Body temperature icon is
displayed. See Display on page 15.
5. If properly paired to a Masimo device,
the TIR-1 reading also displays in the
Temperature window on the Main
Screen. See Temperature Window on
page 23.
For additional information on TIR-1 operation such as changing temperature scale and
modes, see Chapter 4: Operation on page 21.
Note: If temperature is suspected to be incorrect or display reads LO or HI, see TIR-1
Messages on page 31.
Pairing TIR-1 to a Masimo Device
Note: Verify compatibility between the TIR-1 and the Masimo device before attempting to
pair.
Note: If pairing TIR-1 to a Root with noninvasive blood pressure and temperature, the
temperature probe must be disabled. See Active Channels on page 26.
