a choking hazard to children.

children.
• This thermometer is not intended to interpret hypothermic
temperatures.
• Do not allow children to take their own temperatures.

appetite or activity, even in the absence of fever, or who exhibits a low
temperature, may still need to receive medical attention.
• Children who are on antibiotics, analgesics, or antipyretics should not
be assessed solely on temperature readings to determine the severity of
their illness.
• Temperature elevation as indicated by this thermometer may signal a
serious illness, especially in adults who are old, frail, have a weakened
immune system, or neonates and infants. Please seek professional advice
immediately when there is a temperature elevation and if you are taking
temperature on:
o babies under 3 months (consult your physician immediately if the
temperature exceeds 37.4 °C or 99.4 °F)
o patients over 60 years of age

or over 55°C (below -4°F or over 131°F) or in excessive humidity (above
95% non-condensing relative humidity).
• If the thermometer is stored in a location that is cooler or warmer than
where it is being used, let it sit in the location that it is being used for
