After cleaning the probe tip with alcohol, it is necessary to
wait 5 minutes before taking the next measurement,

in order

to allow the thermometer to reach its operating reference
temperature.

•

For an infant, it is best to have the child laying flat with his head
sideways so the ear is facing upwards. For an older child or adult,
it is best to stand behind and slightly to the side of the patient.

•

Always take the temperature in the same ear, since the tempera-
ture readings may be different from the right ear and left ear.

•

Please wait for a few minutes to take the ear temperature after
sleeping.

•

In the following situations it is recommended that 3 measure-
ments are done in the same ear and the highest one is taken as
the reading:

1)

New born infants in the first 100 days.

2)

Children under three years of age with a compromised immune
system and for whom the presence or absence of fever is critical.

3)

When the user is learning how to use the IR thermometer for the
first time until he/she has familiarized himself/herself with the
instrument and obtains consistent readings.
