A basic physiological effect called vasoconstriction can occur in the early stages
of fever, resulting in a cool skin effect. The recorded temperature using this
thermometer can, therefore, be unusually low.
If the measurement result is not consistent with the patient's finding or
unusually low, repeat the measurement every 15 minutes or double check the
result by another core body temperature measurement.
This instrument comprises sensitive components and must be treated with
caution. Observe the storage and operating conditions described in the
