4.2 In case of sweating: take the reading on the eyelid
At times, the forehead can show signs of
sweat, for example as a fever drops, and
this can result in a low reading. Dry the
forehead is not enough. In this case, you
can take the temperature reading, again
at distance on the closed eyelid (fig. 7).
Proceed as you would do for a forehead
reading. No need to worry that your child
could open its eyes while you are taking
the reading: the lights are harmless.
Precision is not guaranteed, but such reading can be considered a valid approximation
of one's body temperature. In adults, such reading is also indicated when one has oil
or make-up on the forehead; moreover it is also valid for the elderly as well as in case
of oxygen mask.
VisioFocus SMART can also scan the skin surface temperature: this can be useful to
monitor the temperature of inflammations, ulcers, wounds (for example on diabetic
patients and under control of your physician).
Proceed as you would for a forehead reading but press the "home"
NOTE: skin surface temperature is NOT body temperature. To measure body tempe-
rature, proceed as described in par. 4.1.
VisioFocus SMART can also be used to read the
temperature of objects, food and liquids in the
1,0-80,0°C (33.8-176.0°F) temperature range.
For example, you can take the temperature of:
1 a baby's feed bottle (fig. 8),
2. food,
3. bathwater.
Mix liquids well before taking the reading and, with hot liquids or foods, take the rea-
ding quickly to prevent condensation from forming on the lens and wait 30 min. before
taking another reading.
Proceed as you would for a forehead reading but press the "home"
NOTE: this intended use is not subject to assessment by the Notified Body.
