Forehead Thermometer
Instruction Manual
Please read these instructions carefully before using
the instrument and keep them in a safe place.
The Bios Diagnostics Forehead Thermometer is a high quality
product incorporating the latest technology and tested in
accordance with international standards. With its unique
technology, the Bios Diagnostics Forehead Thermometer can
provide a stable, heat-interference-free reading with each
measurement. The instrument performs a self-test every time
it is switched on to always guarantee the specified accuracy of
measurements.
The use of the Bios Diagnostics Forehead Thermometer allows
a simple and quick measurement of the temple temperature.
Please keep in mind that, like any skin temperature, the
temperature at the temporal area might differ from the core
body temperature (e.g. obtained by a rectal probe), which is
due to a basic physiologic effect called vasoconstriction. Since
vasoconstriction can occur in the early stages of fever, resulting
in a cool skin effect, the recorded temperature using a forehead
thermometer may be suspiciously low.
Skin temperature of babies reacts very quickly on ambient
temperature. Therefore do not take a measurement while
or after nursing; skin temperature may be lower than core
temperature.
If the measurement result is not consistent with the
patient's finding, always recheck the result by another core
body temperature measurement, e.g. use an IR – eardrum
thermometer or a rectal pen-type thermometer.
