How the Medescan Touchless Thermometer Works

Methods of Temperature Measurement

Core Temperature Measurement

Precise measurement using invasive methods like pulmonary artery or esophageal probes.

Rectal Thermometry

Measures internal temperature but adjusts slowly and poses hygiene risks.

Oral Thermometry

Influenced by food/drink, requires mouth closure for accurate readings.

Axillary (Armpit) Temperature

Easy to measure but does not accurately reflect internal body temperature.

Tympanic Thermometry

Requires precise probe placement in the ear canal for accurate results.

Advantages of Temporal Artery Temperature

Temperature Alerts and Normal Ranges

High Temperature Alert/Alarm

Device alerts with beeps and red display for temperatures at or above 38°C.

Battery Low Voltage Detection

Alerts when battery is low, requiring replacement for optimal performance.

Three Colour Back-lit Display

Display colors (Green, Orange, Red) indicate temperature ranges in Body mode.

Normal Temperatures by Age

Provides normal temperature ranges for different age groups in °F and °C.

Technical Specifications

Maintenance of Your Thermometer

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Low Temperature Display (< 89.6°F/32°C)

Check mode setting (Body vs. Surface) for accurate body temperature readings.

Questionable Measurements

Avoid drafts, allow acclimatization, and use 1-minute intervals between readings.

HI Message Display

Indicates reading exceeds the selected measurement range (e.g., >109°F in Body mode).

LO Message Display

Indicates reading is below the selected measurement range (e.g., <90°F in Body mode).
