CAUTION!
Incorrect measurement
► Once there is a probe cover on the thermometer, do not point the
probe tip at objects which generate heat – such as hands, comput-
ers or windows. This will lead to falsified measuring results.
► Use a new probe cover for every temperature measurement. The
surface of the probe cover must be smooth, with no holes, cracks
or creases.
► Using the thermometer without a probe cover will lead to falsified
measuring results.
► Ensure that the measuring window of the ear thermometer is clean,
dry and undamaged. Contamination, for example fingerprints, ear
wax or dust will impair the transparency of the measuring window
with the result that low values will be measured.
► Patients who wear removable hearing aids should remove them
from the ear at least 10 minutes before the measurement. Implants
do not generally have any effect on in-ear temperature.
► At low outdoor temperatures, the patient should wait at room tem-
perature for a while before the measurement so as not to falsify the
measuring results.
► If the thermometer has been stored outside the ambient tempera-
ture range quoted in the "Technical data" section, wait at least 30
minutes before using it until the thermometer has adapted to room
temperature.
► Ear drops or other medications applied to the ear can falsify the
measuring results. If possible, take the measurement on the other,
non-treated ear.
► Temperature measurements on the left or right ear can lead to dif-
ferent results. Always perform follow-up measurements on the
same ear.
► Wait at least two minutes before performing a follow-up measure-
ment on the same ear.
