the middle ear (the eardrum) is captured. Radiation that is
emitted by the surrounding tissue gives off lower values.
If the forehead attachment is in place for Forehead tempera-
ture measurement, please remove it by simply pulling it off.
In some people, temperature readings in the left ear will
differ from readings taken in the right ear. To identify
changes in temperature, always take the reading in the
same ear on the same person.
Children may only measure in-ear temperature under the
direct supervision of an adult. Taking a child's ear tem-
perature is generally possible from the age of 6 months
onwards. In children under 6 months of age, the auditory
canal is still very narrow so that the temperature of the
eardrum therefore often cannot be determined precisely
and measurement results displayed are usually too low.
The measurement must not be carried out in an inflamed
ear (e.g. pus or discharge from the ear), after possible
ear injuries (e.g. eardrum injury) or during the healing
phase after a surgical procedure. Please contact your
treating physician if this is the case.
Please note when taking a temperature in the
ear:
Make sure you are using the single-use protective caps with
the device when taking the ear temperature.
If a single-use protective cap is not used, earwax may
accumulate on the measuring sensor, which may lead to
inaccurate temperature measurement or even transfer of an
infection between different users. It is imperative therefore
that the measuring sensor is always clean when taking a
temperature. Directions for cleaning are provided in the
instructions in Chapter 9 - Cleaning and care of the device.
Please ensure the sensor is pointing directly at the eardrum
and not at the auditory canal.
After cleaning the measuring sensor, please wait 15 minu-
tes before taking the next measurement so that the thermo-
meter can reach the required operating temperature.
If you have rested your head on one ear, the temperature in
that ear may be briefly elevated.
