USER GUIDE
Thank you for purchasing the Physio Logic® Accuex® Thermometer.
PLEASE READ INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE USE
To better understand the Accuex®Thermometer, please read all instructions thoroughly before using.
This digital thermometer provides a quick and accurate reading of an individual’s body temperature.
Your thermometer features a comfortable and exible tip along with beeper and memory functions.
It is intended to measure body temperature orally, rectally, or under the arm.
Perfect for clinical or home use for people of all ages.
PRECAUTIONS
* The performance of the device may be impacted should one or more of the following occur:
- Operation outside the manufacturer’s stated temperature and humidity range
- Storage outside the manufacturer’s stated temperature and humidity range
- Mechanical shock (for example, drop test) or degraded sensor
- Patient temperature is below ambient temperature
* Portable and mobile RF communications can aect the device.
Taking Temperature
Clean and disinfect your Accuex®thermometer according to the instructions in this user guide.
Note: Drinking hot or cold uids, exercising, smoking or performing other activities may raise or lower your temperature.
It is important for the patient to relax for approximately 5 minutes, mouth closed, prior to taking a reading.
Oral Use
1. Press the ON/OFF button to turn the unit on. The unit will show the displays above along
with the last stored temperature and will beep once. The ° C symbol will start ashing,
which means it is now taking temperature.
2. Place the probe tip under the tongue as near as possible to a pocket as shown in Figure 2.
Close the patient’s mouth and avoid moving the unit.
3. Once the °C symbol on the display has stopped ashing (on average 10 seconds),
a series of ten beeps will signal that peak temperature is reached.
Rectal Use
Note: Rectal temperatures are an appropriate and reliable method for infants and young children. Otherwise,
this method should only be used when it is impossible or impractical to take an oral or axillary temperature.
1. Press the ON/OFF button to turn the unit on. The unit will show the displays above along with the last stored
temperature and will beep once. The °C symbol will start ashing, which means it is now taking temperature.
2. Lubricate silver probe tip with petroleum jelly for easy insertion. Gently insert sensor approximately 1 cm
(less than 1/2“) into rectum.
3. Once the ° C symbol on the display has stopped ashing (on average 10 seconds), a series of ten beeps
will signal that peak temperature is reached.
Axillary Use
1. Wipe the underarm with a dry towel.
2. Press the ON/OFF button to turn the unit on.The unit will show the displays above along with the last stored temperature
and will beep once. The °C symbol will start ashing, which means it is now taking temperature.
3. Place the probe tip under the arm so the tip is touching the skin, with the thermometer perpendicular to the body and keep arm
pressed rmly to the side so that the probe tip is well covered by the arm.This also ensures the probe is not aected by the room’s air.
4. Once the °C symbol on the display has stopped ashing (on average 10 seconds), a series of ten beeps will signal that peak
temperature is reached.
Note: 1. If the temperature reading is less than 32°C or 89.60°F, the LCD will display “ L o ”.
2. If the temperature reading is higher than 42.99°C or 109.38°F, the LCD will display “Hi”.
3. To prolong battery life, press the On/O Button to turn unit o after testing is completed.
If no action is taken, the unit will automatically shut o after around 1O minutes.
Memory
1. After testing is complete, if you press the ON/OFF button for about 3 seconds, you will be entering into memory mode
with the LCD displaying “M”
2. Press the ON/OFF button to verify memory up to 30 readings .
3. To turn the unit O, press the ON/OFF button for over 3 seconds. Otherwise, the unit will shut o automatically
after approximately 1 minute.
CHOKING HAZARD: THERMOMETER CAP AND BATTERY MAY BE FATAL IF SWALLOWED.
DO NOT ALLOW CHILDREN TO USE THIS DEVICE WITHOUT PARENTAL SUPERVISION.
• Do not use thermometer in ear. Designed use is for oral, rectal, and armpit (axilla) readings only.
• Do not place thermometer near extreme heat as it may explode.
Note: Use of the probe cover may result in a 0.1°C (0.2 °F) discrepancy from actual temperature.
• The use of temperature readings for self-diagnosis is dangerous. Consult your doctor for the interpretation of results.
Self-diagnosis may lead to the worsening of existing disease conditions.
• Do not attempt measurements when the thermometer is wet as inaccurate readings may result.
• Do not bite the thermometer. Doing so may lead to breakage and/or injury.
• Do not attempt to disassemble or repair the thermometer. Doing so may result in inaccurate readings.
• After each use, disinfect the thermometer especially in case the device is used by more than one person.
• Do not force the thermometer into rectum. Stop insertion when pain is present.
Failure to do so may lead to injury.
• Do not use thermometer orally after being used rectally.
• For children who are two years old or younger, please do not use the device orally.
• If the unit has been stored at temperatures under 5° C or over 40°C (41°F –104° F),
leave it in 5°C – 40° C (41°F – 104° F) ambient temperature for about 15 minutes before using it.
