EAR MEASUREMENT
1.
Straighten the ear canal by pulling the ear up and back to give a clear view
of the eardrum.
• For children under 1 year: pull the ear straight back.
• For children of 1 year to adult: pull the ear up and back.
Also refer to the short instructions at the front.
2.
While gently pulling the ear, insert the probe snugly into the ear canal (about
1 sec.) and immediately press the START button (2). Release the button and
wait for the beep sound. This indicates the end of the measurement.
3.
Remove the thermometer from the ear canal. The display shows the
measured temperature (9).
NOTE:
•
To ensure accurate readings, wait at least 30 sec. after 3–5 continuous
measurements.
•
Accumulation of earwax on the probe can result in less accurate temper-
ature readings or cross infection between users. Therefore, it is essen-
tial that the probe is clean before each measurement. For cleaning, follow
the instructions in the «Cleaning and Disinfecting» section.
•
After cleaning the measuring sensor (1) with alcohol, wait 5 minutes
before taking the next measurement, in order to allow the thermometer
to reach its operating reference temperature.
•
For an infant, it is best to have the child lying flat with his / her head side-
ways so the ear is facing upwards. For an older child or adult, it is best to
stand behind and slightly to the side of the patient.
•
Always take the temperature in the same ear, since the temperature
readings may be different from ear to ear.
•
In the following situations it is recommended that three temperature
measurements in the same ear be taken and the highest one taken as
the reading:
-
new born infants in the first 100 days;
-
сhildren under three years of age with a compromised immune
system and for whom the presence or absence of fever is critical;
-
when the user is learning how to use the thermometer for the first
time until he / she has familiarized himself / herself with the device
and obtains consistent readings,
-
if the measurement is surprisingly low.
