VisioFocus mini 06700 - 4.2 In Case of Sweating: Take the Reading on the Eyelid; 4.3 Readings of Skin Surface Temperature; 4.4 Other Readings (Non-Medical Use)

After the measurement, the light of the button used stays on and the projection of the
temperature value will remain visible for about 10 seconds, during which, if necessary
(as in the case of self-measurement), you can aim the thermometer against another
surface to re-read the temperature measured. You will not need to respect the correct
distance from the surface: in fact in this case, the thermometer is not taking a tem-
perature, but only projecting the temperature value that has already been detected.
For
the following 2 seconds the projection will show the current setting (Oral, Rectal,
Axilla, or Core - see par. #7) before turning itself o.
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. 6).
Proceed as you would do for a forehead rea-
ding. No need to worry that your child could
open its eyes while you ar
e 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 MINI 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
projection will appear on the surface and the light of the “home” button will turn on.
NOTE: skin surface temperature is NOT body temperature. To measure body tempe-
rature, proceed as described in par. 4.1.

.4 Other readings (non-medical use)
VisioFocus MINI can also be used to read the temperature of objects, food and liquids
in the 1,0-80,0°C (33.8-176.0°F) temperature range.
For example, you can take the temperature of:
1 a baby’s feed bottle (g. 8),
2. food,
3. bathwater.
Mix liquids well before taking the reading and, with
hot liquids or foods, take the reading quickly to
prevent condensation from forming on the lens and
