Intended Use
Caregiver® Professional Clinical Thermometer is an infrared
thermometer intended for the measurementof human body

MODE
MEM
• Operating environment is from 50˚F to 104˚F (10˚C to 40˚C).
• Do not expose to severe environments. Storage
temperature is from -4˚F to 140˚F (-20˚C to +60˚C).
• Do not use in presence of ammable anaesthetic
mixtures.
• Do not use on patients with 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,
replace heat, cold compress therapies, air conditioner
ow, etc.
Initial Setup
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.

In BODY MODE, the icon at the left is shown on the display
and temperature is adjusted to an Oral (sublingual)
temperature approximation. Normal Oral temperature is
typically 96.3°F to 99.9°F (35.7°C to 37.7°C) but varies by
age, gender and time of day1.
Body Temperature Measurement
About Body Temperature & 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.

Inspect Sensor and remove any debris. Clean if
necessary.
Remove hair and perspiration from center
forehead area.
• If 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.
Aim at center forehead area 1/2” to 2” away from
skin surface (1.2 to 5 cm). Be sure thermometer is
perpendicular to skin surface (at right angle).
Press and release the POWER button. Hold
thermometer in place until a double audio “beep” is
heard and the temperature is displayed on the LCD.
Be sure BODY temperature icon is displayed. Read
