VisioFocus 06400 - Taking Reading on Eyelid (Sweating); Skin Surface Temperature Readings

• When you see the temperature at the midpoint between the two arches (g.
6), the thermometer is at the right distance: release the button and keep the device
steady while the lights ash.

You can also read the temperature on the display, lit in light blue.
If necessary, you can immediately take another reading.
• Close the protective cap.
When the thermometer remains idle for 20 seconds, it reverts to stand-by mode and
will display the room temperature for 4 hours before shutting o. If you want it to shut
down immediately after the 20 second interval, read the chapter on “Energy Saving”
mode (par. #7).
4.2 In case of sweating: take the reading on the eyelid
At times, the forehead can show signs of
sweat, for example as a fever drops, and this
can result in a low reading. Dry the forehead
is not enough. In this case, you can take the
temperature reading, again at distance on the
closed eyelid (g. 7).
Proceed as you would do for a forehead rea

ding. No need to worry that your child could
open its eyes while you are taking the reading:
the lights are harmless.
Precision is not guaranteed, but such reading can be considered a valid approximation
of one’s body temperature. In adults, such reading is also indicated when one has oil
or make-up on the forehead; moreover it is also valid for the elderly as well as in case
of oxygen mask.
4.3 Readings of skin surface temperature
VisioFocus can also scan the skin surface temperature: this can be useful to monitor
the temperature of inammations, ulcers, wounds (for example on diabetic patients
and under control of your physician).
Proceed as you would for a forehead reading but press the “home”
button; the
display will light up in green and will show the “home”
symbol.
NOTE: skin surface temperature is NOT body temperature. To measure body tempe
