Temperature elevation may signal a serious illness, especially in neonates and infants, or in adults
who are old, frail, or have a weakened immune system. Please seek professional advice immediately
when a temperature elevation occurs on persons that are:
• Neonates and infants under 3 months (Consult your physician immediately if the temperature
exceeds 37.4 °C [99.4 °F])
• Individuals over 60 years of age (fever may be blunted or absent in older individuals)
• Individuals having diabetes mellitus or a weakened immune system (e.g., HIV positive, cancer
chemotherapy, chronic immunosuppressant treatment, splenectomy)
• Individuals who are bedridden (e.g., nursing home patient, stroke, chronic illness, paraplegia,
quadriplegia, surgical recovery)
• A transplant recipient (e.g., liver, heart, lung, kidney)
This thermometer is not intended for pre-term babies or small-for-gestational age newborn babies
(birth to 4 weeks of age). Pre-term is dened as babies born before 37 weeks of gestation.
Small-for-gestational-age is dened as a newborn baby, born at 37 weeks or later, with a weight
below the 10th percentile for newborn babies of the same gestational age.
This thermometer is not intended to interpret hypothermic temperatures. If the device displays a
temperature of 36.4 °C (97.5 °F) or less with an LED backlight color of green or white, and the
individual is exhibiting atypical symptoms or behaviors, contact your physician or health care
professional.
DO NOT allow children to take their temperatures unattended.
Please consult your physician if you see symptoms such as unexplained irritability, vomiting,
diarrhea, dehydration, changes in appetite or activity, seizure, muscle pain, shivering, sti neck,
pain when urinating, etc., even in the absence of fever.
Even in the absence of fever, those who exhibit a normal temperature may still need to receive
medical attention. People who are on antibiotics, analgesics, or antipyretics should not be assessed
solely on temperature readings to determine the severity of their illness.
DO NOT modify this equipment without the authorization of the manufacturer.
