NTRODUCTION

The Kaufman KM-25 - thermometer was developed using the latest infrared technology. This technology allows
NON CONTACT
a temporal artery (TA) temperature to be taken at a distance of about 5 cm from the forehead.
Accurate, Instant and Non-Contact, the Kaufman KM-25 thermometer is currently the best thermometer for taking
temperatures safely. It has been shown that this method of TA temperature measurement is more accurate than tympanic
thermometry and better tolerated than rectal thermometry (1).
However, as with other types of thermometer it is essential to use the Kaufman KM-25 thermometer correctly to obtain
reliable and stable results.
You are therefore advised to read the instruction manual and safety directions carefully before use.

It is not necessary to calibrate the device before use.
To obtain reliable and stable results, following any significant change in the ambient temperature (± 10 ° C) the
thermometer should be left at room temperature for at least 15 minutes before use to allow automatic recalibration of the
device.
It is important to wait 1 minute between temperature measurements.
