Instructions for use
INTRODUCTION
Dear consumer!
We congratulate you with a B.Well digital thermometer buying!
Thank you for choosing our product!
INTENDED PURPOSE
Thermometers are used for measuring body temperature by oral,
axillar and rectal method. No contraindications revealed.
Please read the instructions carefully before using the
thermometer for the fi rst time, and keep these in a safe place.
This product is for home, clinical and hospital use, operator shall
be at least 11 years old and patient can be operator.
PRECAUTIONS
The thermometer may be used only for measuring body
temperature.
Do not allow the device to come into contact with hot water.
Do not expose to high temperatures or direct sunlight.
Do not drop the thermometer. It is neither shock-proof nor
impact-resistant.
Do not modify this device without the authorization of the
manufacturer.
Do not bend or open the device (except the battery compartment).
Do not clean with thinners, petrol or benzene. Only clean with
water or disinfectant.
Do not immerse the thermometer in liquid.
The thermometer contains small parts (battery, battery
compartment) which can be swallowed by children. For this
reason, do not leave the thermometer unattended in the hands
of children.
Avoid bending the thermometer tip.
If the ambient temperature is over 35 °C or 95 °F, dip the
thermometer tip in cold water for approx. 5 to 10 seconds prior
to measuring the temperature.
Persistent fever, in particular in children, has to be treated by a
doctor – please get in touch with your doctor!
Under any circumstances, the temperature taking result is
ONLY for reference. Before taking any medical action, please
consult your physician.
Do not use near strong electromagnetic fi elds, i.e. Keep it away
from any radio systems and mobile phones.
Batteries and electronic devices must be disposed of in
accordance with the locally applicable regulations, not with
domestic waste.
Be careful when handling the shell to avoid scratches.
WHAT IS A "NORMAL" TEMPERATURE?
Although the generally accepted "normal" temperature reading is
36.6˚C, temperature readings can vary from 35.2˚C to 36.8˚C and
still may be considered "normal". Variations in temperature can be
attributed to activities such as exercise, smoking, eating and drinking.
Your temperature is lower in the morning than in the afternoon.
Other variations may be due to the location of the temperature
reading:
Axillary
(armpit measuring),
Oral
(mouth measuring),
Rectal (rectum measuring).
While the axillary temperature follows the guidelines previously
described, an oral temperature is generally 0.5˚C higher.
Rectal temperature will be 1.0˚C higher.

CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
Disinfection
Thermometer shall be disinfected before each use.
1st method. Clean the thermometer with a soft cloth and
isopropyl alcohol diluted with water (70%).
2d method. Clean the thermometer with a soft alcohol wet wipe
(wipes for injections are preferred).
Cleaning
Wash with warm soapy water, then wipe with a clean wet cloth
and let it dry.
PREPARING FOR USE
Before using, please disinfect the probe at fi rst.
To switch on, press the ON/OFF button next to the display;
a short beep will sound, indicating that the thermometer is
operational. At the same time the thermometer runs a self-check
test, during which all the digital segments appear on the LCD.
PRO-03, PRO-04, PRO-05:
When the letters "Lo" or "L" and a fl ashing "°C" or "°F" display, the
thermometer is now ready for use.
PRO-06:
After that the last measured temperature shows on the LCD for
2s, and then the LCD will display "37.0°C" or "98.6°F" for 1s. At last
the symbol "Lo" "°C °F" display on the LCD, the thermometer is
now ready for use.
PRO-03, PRO-04, PRO-05, PRO-06:
If the ambient temperature is below 32°C or 89.6°F, then "Lo°C"/
"L°C" or "Lo°F"/ "L°F" will appear on the LCD and if it is more
than 42.9°C or 109.2°F, then "HI°C"/ "H°C" or "HI°F"/ "H°F" will
appear on the LCD. During the reading, the current temperature
is displayed continuously and the "°C" or "°F" symbol fl ashes. The
measurement is completed when a constant temperature value
has been reached. The temperature value is considered constant
when the temperature rises less than 0.1°C within 16 seconds
(PRO-03, PRO-04, PRO-05), 8 seconds (PRO-06).
HOW TO CHANGE THE MEASURING SCALE
To switch the display between °C and °F, turn the unit on. Press
and hold the ON/OFF button for 2 seconds, the display will show
another scale.
HOW TO TAKE YOUR TEMPERATURE
Attention! It is important to remember that the body
temperature reading depends on the site where it is
measured. For this reason, the measurement site must
always be specifi ed in order to ensure that a correct
temperature reading is recorded.
Under the arm (axillary)
Placing the thermometer in the armpit provides a measurement
of surface temperature that can fl uctuate by around 0.5°C to
1.5°C from rectal temperature readings in adults. It should be
noted, however, that an exact reading cannot be obtained if,
for example, the armpits have been allowed to cool. If this is
the case, we recommend extending the measuring time by
around 5 minutes in order to obtain the most precise possible
reading that corresponds as closely as possible to the core body
temperature.
Attention! Wipe the underarm with a dry towel and place
the probe tip under the arm. Severe sweating may cause
incorrect measuring when taking an axillary temperature.
When taking an axillary temperature keep the arm close to
the body so the probe tip is well covered by the arm.
Axillary temperatures can vary from 35,2 to 36,8˚C.
In the mouth (oral)
There are different heat zones in the mouth. As a general rule,
the oral temperature is 0.3˚C to 0.8˚C lower than the rectal
temperature. To ensure that reading is as accurate as possible,
place the thermometer tip to the left or right of the root of the
tongue. The thermometer tip must have constant contact with
the tissue during the reading and be placed under the tongue in
one of the two heat pockets at the back, keep the mouth closed
during the reading and breathe evenly through the nose. Do not
eat or drink anything before the measurement.
Oral temperatures can vary from 35,7 to 37,3˚C.
Attention! Such activities as having hot or cold drinks, smoking,
exercising may increase or decrease your temperature.
Therefore it's important to relax with your mouth closed for
about 5 minutes before taking an oral temperature.
In the rectum (rectal)
This is the most accurate method from a medical point of view,
because it comes closest to the core body temperature. This
method is strongly recommended.
Apply a water-soluble lubricant to the thermometer tip. Gently
insert the probe (around 1 сm and less than 2 cm) into the rectum.
Rectal temperatures can vary from 36,2 to 37,7˚C.
Average measuring time for different
measuring methods
PRO-03 PRO-04
Axillary
2 min 50-60 sec
Oral
1 min 40-50 sec
Rectal
1 min 30-40 sec
Taking an axillary temperature may take longer time because
of the features described above. When the temperature rises
slightly the unit beeps.
Attention! When a unit beeps it doesn't mean that measuring
is completed. It only means that your temperature is rising
slightly. Keeping the unit for around 3 min after the beep is
recommended.
