INTENDED USE: VisioFocus®MINI is an infrared medical thermometer intended for
non-contact measurement of body temperature in children and adults.
It can also be used to monitor the temperature of inammations, ulcers, wounds (e.g.
on diabetics and under medical supervision).
1. FOREWORD
Dear Client, thank you for buying VisioFocus MINI, the evolution of Thermofocus®- the
world’s rst non-contact thermometer - and of VisioFocus®.
VisioFocus MINI is truly easy to use. It is capable of measuring a child or adult’s tem-
perature without ever coming into contact with the skin: just bring it close to the fore-
head, at the distance that the thermometer itself will tell you.
The VisioFocus MINI thermometer does not need to be placed in any parts of your
child’s body. If your baby is sleeping, you can use VisioFocus MINI without waking him
up; and, if the child is awake, VisioFocus MINI will not bother him.
2. WARNINGS
Read these instructions carefully before using the thermometer
2.1 Precautions
1. To avoid reading anomalies, use VisioFocus MINI according to this user manual.
2. Use VisioFocus MINI in a draft-free room, at a steady temperature between 16,0
and 40,0°C (60.8 and 104.0°F). It can also work if room temperature is in the ranges
10,0-15,9°C (50.0-60.7°F) and 40,1-45,0°C (104.1-113.0ºF), but accuracy is not gua-
ranteed - see also par. #13.
3. If the device comes from a room having an ambient temperature dierent from the
one of the room in which you are taking the reading (or even from a drawer, etc.), it
needs to be stabilized. Do the MQCS before using it (see par. #8). As alternative, wait
at least 5 minutes or the end of the countdown (if any), for the temperature to stabilize
through the AQCS (see par. #8), without touching the device.
4. Do not take a temperature reading if the person is sitting in a draft or if the subject has:
• been walking, running or exercising;
• come from another room that was ventilated or at a dierent temperature than the
room where the thermometer is used;
• been wearing a cap, hat or scarf;
• been exposed to agents that could alter forehead temperature, e.g. shower, sham-
poo, hair-drier, sponging, etc.
In all the above cases, interrupt the exposition of the subject to these agents and
wait a few minutes for the forehead temperature to stabilize.
5. Changing the reading point will bring to dierent results. Therefore, remember,
always aim the projection on the same spot, precisely at the centre of the
forehead (midway between the top of the nose and the hairline) and keep the ther-

3
mometer perpendicular to the forehead. Do not take measurements on areas
other than the centre of the forehead, except for the case at #4.2. ATTENTION:
measurements on areas other than the centre of forehead (e.g. temples, neck,
wrists) have not been clinically validated.
6. The temperature reading is taken in the area where the temperature is projected.
Make certain that a 1 cm (0,4 inches) area is free all the way around the temperature
projection area: it is of major importance to make sure that this area does not include
eyebrows, hair or clothing. If necessary, brush away any hair from the forehead but
remember, this must be done a few minutes beforehand or the temperature reading
will be higher than the actual body temperature.
7. When taking a temperature reading, please note that in the presence of oils,
make-up or an oxygen mask, and in the case of elderly, the temperature detected may
be lower than the actual body temperature (see also par. #4.2).
8. The forehead temperature reading can be aected by profuse sweating, super-
cial wounds or head injury.
9. Do not use the thermometer on a sweaty forehead, since the temperature
reading would be unreliable. Read the par. #4.2.
10. In the cases at #7, #8, #9, take the temperature reading on the alternative area
(read the par. #4.2.).
11. The dark disc at the bottom of the waveguide (g. 1) is the window of the sensor
and the most delicate part of the thermometer. It must be kept clean and intact. Any
damage, dust or dirt will alter the temperature reading.
12. Do not handle the thermometer for longer than strictly necessary before taking
the reading.
13. Do not use the thermometer in direct contact with the ear or other parts of the body.
14. Do not use the thermometer in direct contact with objects or liquids. Do not
submerge the thermometer in water or other liquids and keep it away from sources
of heat and out of direct sunlight. If water seeps into the thermometer, contact your
Dealer immediately for Technical Service.
15. Do not use VisioFocus MINI on a subject making a call with a mobile or cordless
telephone or in the presence of strong electromagnetic elds.
16. Avoid knocking and dropping it, and do not use it if damaged or if not functioning
properly.
2.2 Attention
1. Failure to observe the above-mentioned precautions (par. #2.1) may lead
to very low or very high temperature readings, which cannot be attributed to
product’s malfunctions.
2. The aiming lights meet the photo-biological safety requirements outlined
in standard EN 62471. No harm can be caused should the aiming lights be acciden-
tally pointed in the eyes: the beams are harmless!
3. The unit is a delicate measurement instrument and must not be used by little
children. It is not a toy. Keep it out of the reach of children or persons with limited
sensorimotor skills. Small parts can be ingested or inhaled.
4. Using this thermometer should not substitute medical consultation. Tell your phy-

4
sician what type of thermometer you are using and in which part of the body the
temperature reading was taken.
5. If the child’s dgeting makes it dicult to take a correct reading, rst become
familiar with the device and, anyway, turn the aiming lights on before bringing the
thermometer close to the forehead.
6. When taking your own temperature, use a mirror, or the black screen of a smartphone,
or, if you have a child over six years of age, you can teach him how to use VisioFocus MINI.
7. Since it never comes into contact with the body, VisioFocus MINI does not require
any disposable protection covers.
8. ATTENTION: any serious incident that occurs in relation to the device should be
reported to the manufacturer ([email protected]) and the competent authority of your
country.
3. HOW IT WORKS
VisioFocus MINI detects the infrared radiation coming from the human body.
The forehead is an ideal site for taking a temperature reading, as it is crossed by the
temporal artery and in direct contact with the brain. The head is also the rst part of
the body to change its temperature as a fever rises and falls.
With each temperature measurement, your VisioFocus MINI takes a series of readings
a tenth of a second. Its sophisticated microprocessor then amplies and processes
this information along with the room temperature and shows the correct body tempe-
rature through the projection.
Please note that that body temperature varies among individuals: moreo-
ver, individual temperature varies according to the measurement’s site and
throughout the day, also in response to physical or mental eort (for example
a baby’s crying). Moreover, the body temperature can be aected by the outside tem-
perature and, depending on the type of reading taken, other factors may also come
into play.
Due to heat dispersion from uncovered parts of the body, the actual temperature
at the forehead is generally lower than that in covered zones. Therefore, when the
“face” button is pressed, the VisioFocus MINI software automatically applies a
correction factor and thus the resulting value is comparable to that given by other
more usual temperature reading sites commonly used in the countries where the unit
is sold - axillary, oral or rectal reading, or internal temperature reading -, according to
the customer’s choice. Nevertheless, the reference value can be changed. An “oral”
reading is generally 0,2°C (0.4°F) higher than an “axillary” reading while a “rectal” or
“internal” reading is 0,8°C (1.4°F) higher (see par. #7).
Remember, the measurement of the body temperature should be taken always at the
centre of the forehead (par. #4.1) or at the eyelid (par. #4.2), no matter what the cur-
rent setting is: in fact, the axillary, oral or rectal/internal settings provide a forehead
temperature value that is a valid approximation of the axillary, oral or rectal/internal
temperature respectively (see par. 7).
The VisioFocus MINI temperature reading taken on the forehead of a healthy person

5
can range between 35 and 37,5°C (95 and 99.5ºF), although in an adult it may even
be below 35°C (95°F) (in axillary mode).
To correctly judge a fever, you need to know the usual temperatures of your family
members when they are in good health condition and at various times of the day. To
help you with this, ll out the table “FAMILY MEMBER TEMPERATURES at dierent
times of day and when in good health conditions” and keep it as a reference: https://

4. HOW to USE IT
4.1 Taking the body temperature: FOREHEAD
• At the rst use, insert 2 AAA batteries as explained at #9.
• Approach VisioFocus MINI to the forehead.
• Press the “face” button and hold it down. The two aiming lights and the light of
the “face” button turn on and you will begin to see the temperature reading, projected
onto the forehead between or overlaid to two dots.
• While keeping the VisioFocus MINI per-
pendicular to the center of the fore-
head, move it in or back away from the
forehead until the temperature reading is
set squarely between the two dots (g. 2).
If the thermometer is too far away, or too
close, the temperature will be partially
overlapped to the two dots (g. 3 and 4).
Fig. 3
NO: too far NO: too close
Fig. 4
• When you see the temperature in the
middle of the two dots (g. 5), the
thermometer is at the right distance:
release the button and keep the device
steady while the lights ash.
If necessary, you can immediately take
another reading.

After the measurement, the light of the button used stays on and the projection of the
temperature value will remain visible for about 10 seconds, during which, if necessary
(as in the case of self-measurement), you can aim the thermometer against another
surface to re-read the temperature measured. You will not need to respect the correct
distance from the surface: in fact in this case, the thermometer is not taking a tem-
perature, but only projecting the temperature value that has already been detected.
For the following 2 seconds the projection will show the current setting (Oral, Rectal,
Axilla, or Core - see par. #7) before turning itself o.
4.2 In case of sweating: take the reading on the eyelid
At times, the forehead can show signs of
sweat, for example as a fever drops, and this
can result in a low reading. Dry the forehead
is not enough. In this case, you can take the
temperature reading, again at distance on the
closed eyelid (g. 6).
Proceed as you would do for a forehead rea-
ding. No need to worry that your child could
open its eyes while you are taking the reading: the lights are harmless.
Precision is not guaranteed, but such reading can be considered a valid approximation
of one’s body temperature. In adults, such reading is also indicated when one has oil
or make-up on the forehead; moreover it is also valid for the elderly as well as in case
of oxygen mask.
4.3 Readings of skin surface temperature
VisioFocus MINI can also scan the skin surface temperature: this can be useful to
monitor the temperature of inammations, ulcers, wounds (for example on diabetic
patients and under control of your physician).
Proceed as you would for a forehead reading but press the “home” button; the
projection will appear on the surface and the light of the “home” button will turn on.
NOTE: skin surface temperature is NOT body temperature. To measure body tempe-
rature, proceed as described in par. 4.1.
4.4 Other readings (non-medical use)
VisioFocus MINI can also be used to read the temperature of objects, food and liquids
in the 1,0-80,0°C (33.8-176.0°F) temperature range.
For example, you can take the temperature of:
1 a baby’s feed bottle (g. 8),
2. food,
3. bathwater.
Mix liquids well before taking the reading and, with
hot liquids or foods, take the reading quickly to
prevent condensation from forming on the lens and

wait 30 min. before taking another reading.
Proceed as you would for a forehead reading but press the “home” button; the
projection will appear on the surface and the light of the “home” button will turn on.
After the measurement, the projection of the temperature value will remain visible for
about 12 seconds. During this time, should you nd it dicult to see the temperature
value, (as in the case of transparent, too dark or irregular surfaces, such as bathwater,
wine, soup) then, once the button is released, you may address the projection on ano-
ther light and opaque surface. You will not need to respect the correct distance from
the surface: indeed in this case, the thermometer is not taking a temperature, but only
projecting the temperature value that has already been detected.
NOTE: this intended use is not subject to assessment by the Notied Body.
5. ROOM TEMPERATURE
The “Mem” button lets you see the ambient temperature. Proceed as follows:
• Aim the device at any uniform and opaque surface.
• Press once the “Mem” button: the projection will show the letter “A” (Ambient)
alternating with the ambient temperature value.
6. MEMORY FUNCTION
The «Mem” button lets you call up the last 9 temperature readings.
Proceed as follows:
- aim the device at any uniform and opaque surface;
- press twice the «Mem” button: the projection will show the number 1 in alterna-
tion to the last temperature taken. The light of the button which had been used for that
measurement (green for “face” or orange for “home”) will turn on.
If you push the button again before the memory’s light turns o: the number 2, alter-
nating with the second to last temperature taken will be projected, and the lightening
of the used button will turn itself on. And so on.
7. HOW TO CHANGE the SETTINGS
Depending on where it is to be sold, your thermometer leaves the factory as follows:
• preset to Celsius (°C) or Fahrenheit (°F)
• referred to oral (“Or”) or rectal (“rEc”) or axillary (“Ax”) or internal temperature readings
(“Cor”) or only internal temperature readings (no symbol shown).
If necessary, these settings can be modied as follows:
1. while the thermometer is o, aim the thermometer to any uniform surface;
2. press the “Mem” button and hold it down; the projection will show the letter “A”

8
and after about 8 seconds it changes showing the settings in sequence:
2. When the new desired setting appears, release the button.
Only one setting can be modied at a time.
Note:
- if the thermometer was produced with the sole internal temperature setting, the
ORAL, RECTAL, AXILLA and CORE settings would not be available for changing.
- The measurement of the body temperature must be taken always at the centre of the
forehead (par. #4.1) or at the eyelid (par. #4.2), no matter what the current setting is: in
fact, the axillary, oral, rectal or core settings provide a forehead temperature value that
is a valid approximation of the axillary, oral or rectal/internal temperature respectively
(see par. #3).
8. ROOM TEMPERATURE CALIBRATION
IIf, pressing the “face” button, the projection shows “CAL”, this means the device
needs to be stabilized (par. #2.1.2).
Therefore, the thermometer will not let you take a measurement, as the result would
not be correct.
On the contrary it will activate an Automatic Quick Calibration System (AQCS).
Now you have two possibilities:
1. Wait about 5 minutes without touching the thermometer, until the AQCS ends.
2. perform the MQCS (Manual Quick Calibration System) as follows:
• focus the thermometer on an internal wall or wardrobe with uniform temperature and
at a point approximately between 80 and 150 cm (30 and 60 inches) from the oor;
• press the “face” and “home” buttons
(g. 8) simultaneously as suggested by their
ashing lights);
• once the right distance is reached (temperature
value between the dots, g. 5), release the but-
ton: the projection ash slowly showing the room
temperature.
To ensure a reliable temperature reading, do not
focus the thermometer on an outside wall, win-
dow, source of heating or cooling (radiator, air
conditioner, lamp, computer, surface in contact
with the human body, etc.).
• The thermometer is now ready to take a reading
and will keep the MQCS for 15 minutes.
Manual quick calibration (MQCS) can also be

performed without the countdown if, for example, you are moving between rooms with
dierent temperatures.
This system enables the thermometer to take suciently accurate readings.
The MQCS is possible only if the room temperature is in the 10,0-45,0°C (50.0-
113.0°F) temperature range.
9. REPLACING the BATTERIES
• Set your thumb in the oval hollow on the back of the unit, press down and slide the
battery hatch out as shown in g. 9.
• Remove the battery hatch.
• Remove the old batteries and dispose of them
as required in the containers provided for this
purpose.
• Insert 2 new AAA - LR03 batteries, preferably
alkaline, carefully complying with the position in-
dicated in their housing.
• To close the hatch, slide it in the opposite direction from which it was opened.
• After changing the batteries, let the thermometer stabilize for 20 minutes before
taking a temperature reading, or run a manual quick calibration (MQCS, par. #8).
• Remove the batteries if you do not expect to use the thermometer for a long
time.
10. CLEANING
CLEANING THE WAVEGUIDE: the thermometer waveguide (g. 1) is very delicate and
must be kept clean. Store the device in a dry, clean place, away from dust.. However, if
you need to remove dust or dirt from the waveguide or sensor at its base, use a cotton
swab that has been slightly dampened with alcohol.
Remove all dirt and make certain that nothing accumulates at the bottom of the wave-
guide where the sensor is located. Do not use any other objects or liquids as the sur-
face of the sensor could easily be scratched or damaged. Never let any excess liquid
penetrate into the waveguide and sensor.
CLEANING THE THERMOMETER BODY: use a soft cloth dampened with soap and
water and possibly re-wipe with a sodium hypochlorite disinfectant.
DO NOT USE the thermometer for at least 30 minutes after cleaning.
