Thank you for purchasing this product.
Please read the manual thoroughly and use the product correctly.
Operating Principles and Intended Use
The product measures body temperature by measuring the peak wavelength of the infrared rays
emitted from the forehead to measure forehead temperature without touching the forehead.
It then calculates body temperature (armpit temperature) using the correction value calculated
from the relationship between forehead and body temperature. It converts the amount of
infrared radiation detected to body surface temperature. The product can also measure the
surface temperature of other objects and room air temperature.
triControl technology used in the product provides high accuracy. Three
sensorsautomaticallycontrol:thedistancetothebody(object),thetemperature
of the ambient to adjust the results and the temperature of the measured body (object).
MT-500 is a clinical thermometer designed for the professional use in medical institutions , and it is
intended to be used for patients with all ages except for pre-term infants and small for gestational
age (SGA) newborns.The product is also intended to be used during professional transportation of
a patient outside the healthcare facility and home healthcare environment.

Please read the manual thoroughly and use the product correctly.
Operating Principles and Intended Use
The product measures body temperature by measuring the peak wavelength of the infrared rays
emitted from the forehead to measure forehead temperature without touching the forehead.
It then calculates body temperature (armpit temperature) using the correction value calculated
from the relationship between forehead and body temperature. It converts the amount of
infrared radiation detected to body surface temperature. The product can also measure the
surface temperature of other objects and room air temperature.
triControl technology used in the product provides high accuracy. Three
sensorsautomaticallycontrol:thedistancetothebody(object),thetemperature
of the ambient to adjust the results and the temperature of the measured body (object).
MT-500 is a clinical thermometer designed for the professional use in medical institutions , and it is
intended to be used for patients with all ages except for pre-term infants and small for gestational
age (SGA) newborns.The product is also intended to be used during professional transportation of
a patient outside the healthcare facility and home healthcare environment.

Adjustment of temperature
MT-500 is an adjusted mode clinical thermometer which calculates internal body temperature
(armpit temperature) with its special algorithm according to the skin surface temperature at
forehead and the ambient temperature. Following graph shows the example of the calculation at
ambient temperature of 23°C.

Clinical accuracy verification
Clinical accuracy of MT-500 was verified by comparison with reference clinical thermometer in the
market as stipulated in ISO 80601-2-56, the international standard of clinical thermometers for
body temperature measurement. The clinical verification was conducted for 210 subjects covering
the age distribution from newborns to adults.
Since the calculated internal body temperature by the measurement at forehead may vary due to
the influences of various factors such as sweating, wind or skin conditions at/before measurement
etc., it is important for users of clinical thermometers to be aware of the possible bias with the
body temperature measurements of other methods. Following results were obtained from the
clinical verification and they would be useful indications for possible variation of measurement
values to be considered for the use of MT-500.

older than 5 years -0.03 +0.833 / -0.884
*1 mean difference of measurement values against the reference clinical thermometer.
*2 the statistical range within which the greatest differences against reference clinical
thermometer supposedly lie.
*3 pre-term infants or small for gestational age (SGA) newborns are not included in the subjects.
Please consult a doctor for taking a measurement on such patient.
At the clinical verification, the consistency of the repeated measurements amongst all age
distribution was also checked as clinical repeatability. It is calculated as the difference of values
within three consecutive measurements. MT-500 achieved the clinical repeatability of 0.113°C
which confirms its considerable stability at repeated measurements.

(armpit temperature) with its special algorithm according to the skin surface temperature at
forehead and the ambient temperature. Following graph shows the example of the calculation at
ambient temperature of 23°C.

Clinical accuracy verification
Clinical accuracy of MT-500 was verified by comparison with reference clinical thermometer in the
market as stipulated in ISO 80601-2-56, the international standard of clinical thermometers for
body temperature measurement. The clinical verification was conducted for 210 subjects covering
the age distribution from newborns to adults.
Since the calculated internal body temperature by the measurement at forehead may vary due to
the influences of various factors such as sweating, wind or skin conditions at/before measurement
etc., it is important for users of clinical thermometers to be aware of the possible bias with the
body temperature measurements of other methods. Following results were obtained from the
clinical verification and they would be useful indications for possible variation of measurement
values to be considered for the use of MT-500.
Age group Clinical bias*1 Limits of agreement*2
0 up to 3 months*3 -0.14 +0.213 / -0.493
3 months up to 1 year*3 -0.04 +0.264 / -0.334
older than 1 year and younger than 5 years -0.05 +0.364 / -0.473
older than 5 years -0.03 +0.833 / -0.884
*1 mean difference of measurement values against the reference clinical thermometer.
*2 the statistical range within which the greatest differences against reference clinical
thermometer supposedly lie.
*3 pre-term infants or small for gestational age (SGA) newborns are not included in the subjects.
Please consult a doctor for taking a measurement on such patient.
At the clinical verification, the consistency of the repeated measurements amongst all age
distribution was also checked as clinical repeatability. It is calculated as the difference of values
within three consecutive measurements. MT-500 achieved the clinical repeatability of 0.113°C
which confirms its considerable stability at repeated measurements.

Adjustment of temperature
MT-500 is an adjusted mode clinical thermometer which calculates internal body temperature
(armpit temperature) with its special algorithm according to the skin surface temperature at
forehead and the ambient temperature. Following graph shows the example of the calculation at
ambient temperature of 23°C.
The black line in the graph below shows the correlation between the measured surface
temperature at forehead and internal body temperature. The grey dotted line shows the
calculated temperature based on the surface temperature at forehead.

Clinical accuracy verification
Clinical accuracy of MT-500 was verified by comparison with reference clinical thermometer in the
market as stipulated in ISO 80601-2-56, the international standard of clinical thermometers for
body temperature measurement. The clinical verification was conducted for 210 subjects covering
the age distribution from newborns to adults.
Since the calculated internal body temperature by the measurement at forehead may vary due to
the influences of various factors such as sweating, wind or skin conditions at/before measurement
etc., it is important for users of clinical thermometers to be aware of the possible bias with the
body temperature measurements of other methods. Following results were obtained from the
clinical verification and they would be useful indications for possible variation of measurement
values to be considered for the use of MT-500.
