  • Page 5: Operating Principle

    All objects, solid, liquid or gas, emit energy by radiation. The intensity of this energy depends on the temperature of the object. The DT-29 Infrared Forehead Thermometer is able to measure the temperature of a person by the heat energy the person emits.

  • Page 6: Normal Temperatures According To Measurement Method

    Oral thermometry Oral temperature is easily influenced by recent ingestion of food or drinks and by breathing through the mouth. To measure oral temperature, the mouth must remain closed and the tongue lowered for three to four minutes, a difficult task for young children to accomplish.

  • Page 7: Normal Temperatures According To Age

    The DT-29 No-Touch Thermometer has been designed to produce an instant forehead temperature representing core temperature reading without touching the skin. Since the body temperature is permanent and regular at the forehead, it allows precise measurement of the temperature.

  • Page 8: Practical Considerations When Taking A Temperature

    PRACTICAL CONSIDERATIONS WHEN TAKING A TEMPERATURE - In order to ensure that precise and accurate temperature measurements are obtained, it is essential that each user has received adequate information on and training in the temperature measurement technique when using this device. - It is essential to remember that although procedures such as taking a patient’s temperature may be simple they must not be trivialized.

  • Page 9: Additional Considerations Before Use

    - Allow a 1 minute interval between two measurements. - Each time there is a significant change in the ambient temperature due to a change in the environment, let the DT-29 acclimate to this new ambient temperature for at least 15 minutes before using it.
