or neonates and infants. Please seek professional advice
immediately when there is a temperature elevation and
if you are taking temperature for individuals whom are:
• neonates and infants under 3 months
• over 60 years of age
• having diabetes mellitus or a weakened immune system
(e.g. HIV positive, cancer chemotherapy, chronic steroid
treatment, splenectomy)

Fever may be lower or even absent in elderly patients.
Do not expose the thermometer to temperature extremes
(below –13 °F / –25 °C or over 131 °F / 55 °C ) or excessive
humidity (> 95 % RH).
