Oral (ages 2+ only)
Note: DO NOT eat or drink anything before the measurement, or bite on the product.
• T o ensure that reading is as accurate as possible, place the thermometric sensor to the left or right
of the underneath/root of the tongue. Ensure the screen faces upwards.
• The thermometric sensor must have constant contact with the tissue during the reading and be
placed under the tongue in one of the two heat pockets at the back. Press the tongue down to
hold the product in place.
• Keep the mouth closed during the
reading and breathe evenly through
the nose, while holding onto the
product to keep it from moving during
measurement.
• There are different heat zones in the
mouth. Generally , the oral temperature
is 0.3°C to 0.8°C lower than the rectal
temperature.
Rectal
Note: This is the most accurate method from a medical point of view , because it comes closest to
the core body temperature. It is commonly used for young children when it is difcult to take an oral
or underarm temperature. DO NO T attempt rectal measurements on persons with rectal disorders.
• Lubricate with a water -soluble gel. DO NO T use petroleum jelly .
• Gently insert the thermometric sensor no more than 2cm into the rectum. DO NOT force the
product into the rectum. Stop insertion and abort the measurement when pain is present.
Note: The rectal method is the most accurate method for identifying the basal temperature
and it is advised to extend the measuring time by 3 minutes after the beep.
Underarm (axillary)
Note: Wipe off any underarm perspiration and deodorant prior to taking a reading under the arm.
• Place the thermometric
sensor in the centre of the
armpit. It must be touching
the skin, remove c lothing if
necessary.
• T urn the screen so that it
faces inwards.
• Hold the product in place by
slightly applying pressure
inwards towards the body.
• The product should be placed at an angle of 35-45 degrees in relation to the arm.
• When using with infants or young children, it is advised to gently hold their arm in place
while taking the measurement.
Placing the product in the armpit provides a measurement of surface temperature that can
uctuate by around 0.5°C to 1.5°C from rectal temperature readings in adults.
Note: An exact reading cannot be obtained if, the armpits ha ve been allowed to cool. If this is
the case, we recommend extending the measuring time by around 5 minutes in order to obtain
the most precise possible reading that corresponds as closely as possible to the core body
temperature.
Maintenance
Cleaning
• Always c lean/disinfect the product before and after use to avoid cross contamination.
• Only c lean with disinfectant (70% medical alcohol) using a damp cloth.
• Rinse only the thermometric tip under slow running cold water and then dry with a
clean soft cloth.
• DO NO T use harsh chemical cleaning agents.
• DO NO T immerse the product under water; rinse with hot water over 50°C; soak in alcohol
for a long period of time; or use ultrasonic washing to clean the product as this can damage
the electronics.
Storage
• Wipe away any dirt and dust from the product.
• Store the product in it’ s protective cover while not in use.
