center of the object you want to measure with a distance of no more than 5 cm.
Press the START button
③
. After 3 seconds a long beep will verify the
completion of measurement.
2.
Read the recorded temperature from the LCD display.
NOTE:
Patients should stay in steady-state room condition for at least 30
minutes.
Do not take a measurement while or immediately after nursing a baby.
Do not use the thermometer in high humidity environments.
Avoid drinking, eating, or exercising before /while taking the measurement.
Do not move the measurement device from the measuring area before
hearing the termination beep.
Use an alcohol swab to carefully clean the probe and wait for 15 minutes
before taking a measurement on another patient.
10 short beeps and a red LCD backlight alert the patient that he/she may
have a temperature equal to or higher than 37.5 °C.
Always take the temperature in the same location, since temperature
readings may vary according to locations.
Doctors recommend rectal measurement for newborn infants within the
first 6 months, as all other measuring methods might lead to ambiguous
results. If using a non contact thermometer on those infants, we
recommend to always verify the readings with a rectal measurement.
It is recommended to take three temperatures in case of the following
conditions, out of which the highest one need to be considered:-
1.
Children under three years of age with a compromised immune
system and for whom the presence or absence of fever is critical.
2.
When the user is learning how to use the thermometer for the first
time until he/she has familiarized himself/herself with the instrument
and obtains consistent readings.
3.
If the measurement is surprisingly low.
Readings from different measuring sites should not be compared as the
normal body temperature; it varies by measuring site and time of day, being
highest in the evening and lowest about one hour before waking up.
Normal body temperature ranges:
-Axillaries: 34.7 - 37.7 °C / 94.5 -99.1 °F
-Oral: 35.5 - 37.5 °C / 95.9 - 99.5 °F
-Rectal: 36.6 -38.0 °C / 97.9 - 100.4 °F
-COMBEIFR200: 35.4 °C - 37.4 °C / 95.7 - 99.3 °F
