SAFETY AND CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
Cautions and Warnings
• Do not use the instrument if you think it is damaged or
notice anything unusual.
• Do not store the FORA IR10 thermometer in places exposed
to direct sunlight or high temperatures.
• Do not touch the lens.
• Never open the instrument.
• If the measurement result is not consistent with how the
patient feels or if it is unusually low, repeat the measure-
ment every 15 minutes or double check the result by means
of another core body temperature measurement.
• This instrument has sensitive components and must be
treated with care. Observe the storage and operating condi-
tions: always store the thermometer in a cool and dry place;
storage room temperatures should be between -20°C and
50°C (-4°F and 122°F) and the relative humidity should be
less than 95%.
• A basic physiological effect called vasoconstriction can oc-
cur in the early stages of fever, resulting in a cool skin effect.
The recorded temperature using a forehead thermometer
can therefore be unusually low.
• If the ear is cold, wait until the ear is warmed up before tak-
ing an ear temperature measurement. This also applies for
the forehead.
• Ensure that children do not use the instrument unsuper-
vised; some parts are small enough to be swallowed.
• Protect the thermometer from:
- extreme temperatures
- impact, dropping and hard shocks
- contamination and dust
- direct sunlight
- heat and cold
• If the instrument is not going to be used for a prolonged
period the battery should be removed.
