It measures the infrared energy emitted from the skin surface of the forehead. Because there is no need to touch the skin, the VeraTemp™ is hygienic and there is no need for probe covers. INTENDED USE The VeraTemp™... - Page 3 • Do not drop or expose to electrical shocks. • The thermometer must only be use in an ambient temperature between 10°C and 40°C (50°F and 104°F) • Do not expose this thermometer to extreme temperature conditions of >50°C or <-20°C (>122°F or <-4°F) •...

INTRODUCTION Thank you for buying the VeraTemp™ Personal Non-Contact Thermometer, which has been developed using the most advanced technology. This technology allows a forehead temperature to be taken from a distance of about 5-8 cm (2-3 inches).
- Page 5 The VeraTemp™ Personal Non- Contact Thermometer is calibrated at the factory before shipping. No calibration is necessary. temperature, allow the thermometer to adjust to the “new” temperature for at least 15 minutes before use in order to obtain a reliable result.
- Page 6 When one is hot, the blood vessels in the skin dilate and carry the excess heat to the skin surface. You begin to sweat and as the sweat evaporates it helps to cool the the skin is decreased allowing conservation of body heat. The involuntary act of shivering causes the muscles to generate more heat that can be conserved.
- Page 7 Because of heat loss from various parts of the body that are not covered by clothing, the normal temperature measured on a person’s forehead is usually lower than covered parts of the body. The VeraTemp™ Personal Non-Contact Thermometer’s internal software automatically adjusts the temperature to provide a reading which approximates the body temperature.

- Page 14 Practical Considerations When Taking Temperature • To ensure accurate temperature measurements, it is essential that each user has received adequate information about the device and its proper use. • Take temperature in a neutral context. The patient must not have undertaken vigorous physical activity prior to temperature measurement.
