HOW THE EAR THERMOMETER TAKES A READING

The Grow With Me Ear Thermometer Set measures the heat radiated from the eardrum and the surrounding
tissue. This energy is collected through the lens and converted to a temperature value equivalent to the commonly
used oral reading. The measured reading obtained directly from the eardrum (Tympanic Membrane) can ensure the
most accurate body temperature. The accuracy of a reading will depend on your technique, so please follow instruc-
tions for use carefully. We recommend that you practice using the ear thermometer on yourself and your family
members when they are healthy. You will then be more confident using the ear thermometer when a
family member is ill.
The Grow With Me Ear Thermometer Set meets the ASTM Accuracy Standard under normal operating condi-
tions.
The Grow With Me Ear Thermometer Set has been clinically tested and proven to be safe and accurate when
used in accordance with operating instructions.

WHAT IS A NORMAL TEMPERATURE?

Normal body temperature varies
from person to person. It is
important to be familiar with your
and your child's healthy
temperature range to help you
identify what is normal. You can
do this with your Grow With Me
Ear Thermometer Set. Please
note that ear, oral, rectal and
underarm temperature readings also vary, therefore readings taken from different body sites should not be
directly compared.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

Note: • The thermometer probe should be kept clean by using alcohol swab to wipe it 2 minutes prior to the
test, and after each use.
Dirt, dust, or ear wax on the sensor will give inaccurate measurements!
• Do not touch the thermometer probe 2 minutes before measuring the ear.
• The time interval of the continuous measurement for the same ear should be at least 15 seconds.
• The thermometer probe should be fitted into the ear canal deep enough with gentle insertion, making
sure you don't move the thermometer, then press the start key to get the measurement, do not
remove the probe until hearing a beep sound.
• Whenever putting on (or removing) the adult adaptor, you need to wait for 2 more minutes to cool
down the probe so as to get a reliable reading for next measurement. The adult adaptor should be
assembled to the probe by hearing (or feeling) a small click sound, so that we can ensure a reliable
measurement.
• The adult adaptor is not necessary to put on unless it is for measuring the temperature of an adult.
