Safety and Protection
• This instrument has sensitive components and must be treated with care.
• Protect the thermometer from the following:
- extreme temperatures.
- damage from impact or drops.
- contamination and dust.
- direct sunlight.
- heat and cold.
• Do not use the instrument if it is damaged or if you notice anything unusual
about it.
• Do not use the thermometer in damp environments.
• Do not open up the device. It contains small parts that might be swallowed by
children.
• A basic physiological effect called vasoconstriction can occur in the early
stages of fever, resulting in cooler skin. The recorded temperature using this
thermometer can, therefore, be unusually low at this time.
• If the measurement result is not consistent with the user's ndings or if it is
unusually low, repeat measurements every 15 minutes, or double-check the
results with another type of core-body-temperature measurement.
Ensure that children do not use the instrument unsupervised; some
parts are small enough to be swallowed.
Use of this instrument is not intended as a substitute for consultation with
your physician.
Care of Instrument
• Do not scratch the surface of the temperature sensor.
• Make sure that no liquid enters the inside of the thermometer.
• Use an alcohol swab or cotton tissue moistened with alcohol (70% Isopropyl)
to clean the lens of the thermometer’s temperature sensor.
• If the sensor becomes dirty during or after a reading, clean it with a cotton bud
dipped in cleaning alcohol before putting the thermometer away
Never use abrasive cleaning agents, thinners, or benzene for cleaning.
Never immerse the instrument in water or other cleaning liquids.
Accuracy test
We recommend that this instrument is tested for accuracy every 2 years or after
any mechanical impact (e.g., being dropped). Contact Microlife’s service center
to arrange a test.
