Before the Exam
Note: The Tyto Thermometer has been clinically tested and proven to be safe and accurate
when used in accordance to the operation instruction manual. Please note that using the
thermometer not according to the operation, storage and cleaning instructions may lead to
inaccurate temperature measurement.
.........................................................................................................................................................
The measurement must be taken on dry skin. Perspiration on the skin can adversely affect the
results.
.........................................................................................................................................................
Temperature elevation may signal a serious illness, especially in neonates and infants, or in
adults who are old, frail, or have a weakened immune system. Please seek professional advice
immediately when there is a temperature elevation and if you are taking temperature on:
lNeonates and infants under 3 months (Consult your physician immediately if the tem-
perature exceeds 37.4°C [99.4°F]).
lPatients over 60 years of age (Fever may be blunted or absent in older patients).
lPatients having diabetes mellitus or a weakened immune system (such as HIV positive, can-
cer chemotherapy, chronic steroid treatment, splenectomy).
lPatients who are bedridden (such as nursing home patient, stroke, chronic illness, recov-
ering from surgery).
lA transplant patient (such as liver, heart, lung, kidney).
.........................................................................................................................................................
Do not allow children to take their temperatures unattended.
.........................................................................................................................................................
Please consult your doctor if you see symptoms such as unexplained irritability, vomiting,
diarrhea, dehydration, changes in appetite or activity, seizure, muscle pain, shivering, stiff
neck, pain when urinating, etc., even in the absence of fever.
.........................................................................................................................................................
Even in the absence of fever, those who exhibit a normal temperature may still need to
receive medical attention. People who are on antibiotics, analgesics, or antipyretics should not
be assessed solely on temperature readings to determine the severity of their illness.
