4. How this Thermometer Measures Ear Temperature
This thermometer measures infrared energy radiated from the eardrum
and the surrounding tissue. This energy is collected through the lens
and converted to a temperature value. The measured reading obtained
directly from the eardrum (Tympanic Membrane) can ensure the most
accurate ear temperature.
Measurements taken from the surrounding tissue of the ear canal
generate lower readings and may result in misdiagnosis of a fever.
To avoid an inaccurate measurement:
• Switch on the thermometer by pressing the O/I button.
• After one beep is heard (and the temperature scale icon is flas-
hing), straighten the ear canal by gently pulling the middle of the
ear back and up.
• Place the probe firmly into the ear canal, press the START button
and keep the probe in the ear until the thermometer beeps to
identify the completion of the measurement.
This thermometer has been clinically tested and proven to be
safe and accurate when used in accordance with its operating
instruction manual.

1. Les avantages du thermomètre
Utilisation multiple (large étendue de mesure)
IR 1DE1 a la particularité d’offrir une large étendue de mesure de
0 - 100 °C (32,0 - 212.0 °F). L’appareil peut donc être utilisé comme
thermomètre auriculaire pour mesurer la température corporelle, mais
aussi pour mesurer la température de surface des éléments suivants:
• Température de surface du lait.
• Température de surface du bain de bébé.
• Température ambiante.
Sans embout
Ne nécessitant pas la mise en place d’un embout avant une mesure,
le thermomètre s’avère plus convivial et économique.
Mesure rapide
La technologie innovatrice de la mesure de la température par le
rayonnement infrarouge permet de prendre la température de l’oreille
en seulement 1 seconde.
Précis et fiable
Grâce au mode d’assemblage de la sonde, à son capteur à rayons infra-
rouges perfectionné et à son processus de calibrage complet, ce produit
offre une mesure aussi précise que sûre de la température auriculaire.
Agréable et facile d’utilisation
• Forme ergonomique qui rend l’utilisation du thermomètre simple et
facile.
• Ce thermomètre peut être utilisé sans perturber la vie quotidienne. Une
prise de température pendant le sommeil d’un enfant est possible.
• Ce thermomètre est agréable d’utilisation pour les enfants.
Affichage automatique de la mémoire
Le thermomètre affiche automatiquement la dernière mesure pendant
2 secondes lorsqu’il est mis en route.
Appel multiple de mesures
Les utilisateurs ont la possibilité d’appeler les 12 dernières mesures
enregistrées quand l’appareil est en mode mémoire, ce qui permet de
mieux suivre les variations de température.
Sûr et hygiénique
• Pas de risques de verre cassé et d’ingestion de mercure.
• Totalement sûr pour la prise de température des enfants.
• Un nettoyage de l'extrémité de la sonde avec un chiffon de coton
imbibé d’alcool rend l’emploi du IR 1DE1 complètement hygiénique.

Indication d'une température élevée
10 bips courts et un rétroéclairage rouge de l'écran LCD signalent que
la température peut être supérieure à 37,5 °C. Signal de fièvre
10 bips brefs signalent au patient un éventuel état fébrile.
2. Consignes de sécurité importantes
• N’utilisez jamais ce thermomètre à d’autres fins que celles pour
lesquelles il a été conçu. Suivez bien les consignes générales de
sécurité lors des prises de température sur l’enfant.
•Ne plongez jamais ce thermomètre dans l’eau ou un autre
liquide (il n’est pas étanche). Pour son nettoyage et sa
désinfection suivez les indications du paragraphe 10:
«Nettoyage et rangement»
• Placez l’appareil à l’abri de toute exposition directe au soleil.
Rangez-les dans un endroit sans poussière, sans humidité et à
une température comprise entre 5 - 40 °C (41 - 104 °F).
• N’utilisez plus le thermomètre si la sonde ou le corps de l’ap-
pareil lui-même présentent des traces de dommages. S’il est
abîmé ne tentez pas de le réparer vous-même. Prenez contact
avec le service après-vente Microlife le plus proche.
• La présence de cérumen dans le canal auditif peut abaisser arti-
ficiellement la température lue. Le canal auditif doit donc être
bien propre pour obtenir une mesure précise.
• Ce thermomètre est constitué de pièces de précision de haute
qualité. Ne le faites pas tomber. Protégez-le des chocs brutaux et
des coups. Ne tordez ni l’appareil ni la sonde.
AVERTISSEMENT:

4. Comment ce thermomètre mesure la température auriculaire
Ce thermomètre mesure l’énergie infrarouge émise par la membrane
du tympan et les tissus avoisinants. Cette énergie est recueillie par la
lentille puis convertie en une indication de température. La mesure
affichée obtenue directement du tympan (membrane tympanique)
donne la température auriculaire la plus juste.
Les mesures prises sur le tissu environnant du canal de l’oreille
génèrent une lecture de la température plus basse, ce qui peut ent-
raîner un mauvais diagnostic de la fièvre.
Pour éviter une mesure inexacte:
• Activer le thermomètre en appuyant sur le bouton 0/I.
• Après le premier bip (le symbole de l’échelle de température clig-
notant), redresser le canal auriculaire en tirant doucement le
milieu de l’oreille vers l’arrière et vers le haut.
• Bien introduire la sonde dans le canal de l’oreille, appuyer sur le
bouton START et garder la sonde dans l’oreille jusqu’au bip qui
signale la fin de la mesure.
Ce thermomètre, qui a été testé cliniquement, s’est avéré par-
ticulièrement précis et sûr lorsque les consignes du mode
d’emploi sont bien respectées.
