INFRARED FOREHEAD THERMOMETER

Please read the instructions and warnings given in this handbook

carefully before use, and always keep it in a safe place.

Your new forehead thermometer detects body temperature in an absolutely

precise and painless way. It is ideal to carry out measurements on babies, even

while they are sleeping. The new infrared measurement technology offers a

greater reliability and above all a longer life of the instrument.

It is equipped with a wide LCD display for an easy reading.

It has also an acoustic signal for completed measurement of the body

temperature and of automatic switching-off after one minute of inactivity,

which allows to extend the duration of the batteries. It is really easy to be

used and allows the measurement of body and room temperature. It measures

temperature in Celsius (°C) and Fahrenheit (°F) degrees.

It stores in memory the last 25 measurements performed to evaluate eventual

variations.

NB: the temperature shown on the display is equal to the oral

temperature, i.e. temperature measured on the forehead is

translated as if it were measured in the mouth.

GENERAL WARNINGS

1) Self-measuring means control, it does not mean diagnosis or

treatment.

Any unusual levels should always be discussed with your

doctor.

Under no circumstances must you change the dose of medicines

prescribed by your Doctor.

2) The forehead thermometer is a very sensitive instrument.

Please handle it with care and avoid knocks.

Do not press, bend, drop or break the thermometer into small

pieces.

3) Keep it out of the reach of children.

4) The thermometer must not be exposed to extreme temperatures,

direct sunlight or sources of heat.

It must be kept in a cool, dry and clean place.

5) Do not touch the probe with your fingers.

Do not dismantle the thermometer.

6) Do not immerse the thermometer in water or other liquids.

7) The forehead thermometer must not be used for rectal, oral or

armpit temperature reading.

8) The precision of the measurement can be jeopardized by: great

perspiration of the forehead, use of vasoconstrictive drugs and

skin irritations.

9) Clean the temple where the probe will lean before performing

the measurement.

10) Measure the temperature far from direct sunlight and wind.

11) This thermometer has to be used to measure temperature on

forehead (with skin contact) as shown on the cover page.

A HIGH TEMPERATURE

A high temperature should be considered a symptom and not an illness.

English

Usually it is the sign that our organism is fighting against an infection.

In fact, it represents a defensive reaction of our organism that is characterised

by an increase in body temperature above 37°C and by an increase in heartbeat

and breathing frequency.

The normal temperature inside our organism is around 37.5°C, which is the

value read with the rectal method, the temperature in the mouth is lower by

about 0.5°C (37°C), while that under the armpit is lower by 1°C (36.5°C).

Therefore it is very important that the temperature is correctly measured using

the most effective method, and preferably not in those moments when body

temperature could be higher (on waking, after meals).

The temperature of a healthy person is also affected by the following factors:

• Theperson’sindividuallevel(individualmetabolism).

• Age(bodytemperatureishigherinbabiesandsmallchildrenandfallswith

increasing age. Greater temperature fluctuations occur in children faster

and more often.).

• Clothing.

• Theoutsidetemperature.

• Thetimeofday(Bodytemperatureislowerinthemorningandrisesas

the day goes on).

• Precedingphysicalactivity.

• Measuringmethod.

• Phaseofthemenstrualcycle.

You should remember that skin temperature is easily affected by the room

temperature; in fact, taking the temperature under the armpit is much less

reliable with respect to oral and rectal readings.

However, the temperature that is read on the forehead is extremely reliable

and close to the real body temperature, as just a few mm from the skin on the

forehead the temporal artery passes which carries the blood to the brain.

This means that your new infrared forehead thermometer measures the

temperature of the blood in the artery that passes underneath the skin. This is

a highly appreciated method as it is very simple, precise and reliable.

The graph below shows a list of the average "normal" temperatures.

Please remember, that the thermometer must be in the room

where the temperatures is to be taken at least half an hour

beforehand, while the person must be present at least 10 minutes

beforehand.

However, we recommend that you learn to recognise your normal

body temperature when you are well, to correctly interpret the

different readings.

MEASURING METHOD NORMAL AVERAGE

ARMPIT 36.5°C

ORAL 37°C

RECTAL 37.5°C

EAR 37°C

These different thermometers are suitable for measuring the temperature in

different parts of the body: forehead thermometer: measurement only on the

forehead, ear thermometer: measurement only in the ear, rod thermometer:

rectal (conventionally in the back passage), axillary (under the arm) or buccal

measurement (inside the cheek) and under the tongue (sublingual).

The temperature varies depending on the part of the body where it is measured.
