Domotherm® OT is an electronic infrared thermometer for measuring the human body temperature in the ear canal.
Mode of operation
The device measures the infrared energy radiated from the eardrum and from the surrounding tissue. This thermal radiation is captured by a sensor and converted into temperature readings.
The measured temperature is displayed in ^ C (degrees Celsius) or ^ F (degrees Fahrenheit). The last value measured is automatically stored and displayed before the subsequent measurement.
The innovative infrared technology allows the body temperature to be measured in just one second.
Disposable protective sleeves make the thermometer particularly hygienic and safe, especially when used by more than one person.
The thermometer has an expanded measuring range from 0^ to 100^ (32°F to 212 °F). In addition to measuring body temperature in the ear, the thermometer can be used to measure surface temperatures, such as the surface temperature of the milk in baby bottles, the surface temperature of the bath water for infants, or the ambient temperature.
Read this instruction manual carefully before using the thermometer and keep it in a safe place.
Safety instructions Safety instructions
Important instructions for patients Important technical details
- The device must be used according to the procedures set out in these instructions and must not be used for any other purposes.
- The thermometer may be used only with disposable protective sleeves. For each measurement use a new and undamaged protective sleeve.
- Do not use it for rectal (in the anus), oral (in the mouth) or axillary (under the arm) temperature measurements.
- Do not use the thermometer in an inflamed or injured ear.
- Ear wax in the ear canal can lead to inaccurate temperature measurements. Before taking the reading, please ensure that the ear canal is clean.
- Use of this infrared ear thermometer does not replace appointment with a doctor.
- If the device is stored outside of its ambient operating temperatures of 5 to 40^ , in the treatment room it must be removed from its packaging and left for at least four hours to allow temperature equalisation. If it is to be used immediately, we recommend it be stored in residential premises.
- The thermometer contains small parts (battery, protective sleeve etc.) which children could swallow. Do not let children use the device unsupervised.
-
The thermometer is not suitable to determine the basal body temperature.
-
The device is not waterproof. Never immerse it in water or any other fluid. To clean and disinfect it, follow the instructions on page 35.
- Protect the device and the disposable protective sleeves from severe changes in temperature, from humidity, dust and direct sunlight.
- Never drop the instrument! It is neither shock- nor impact-resistant. After serious falls or impacts, we recommend it be checked for intactness and accuracy. In this event, please consult UEBE customer service.
- Do not use the thermometer if there are recognisable signs of damage.
- Never open the device (except to replace the battery) or tamper with it. If the device has been opened, it must be inspected for the technical accuracy of its measurements by a legitimate institution.
- Using the unit in the immediate vicinity of mobile phones, microwave appliances or other devices with strong electromagnetic fields may result in impaired functioning. Maintain a minimum distance of 3m from such devices when using this unit.
- If the unit is not used for an extended period of time, please remove the batteries. Essentially, all batteries can leak.

To avoid inaccurate measurements Attaching the disposable protective sleeve
Reading directly off the eardrum (tympanic membrane) ensures the most accurate temperature measurement. Readings from the surrounding ear canal tissue generate lower values. Placing the thermometer in the ear correctly is therefore very important. Always follow the instructions for placing the thermometer in the ear in the chapter "Measuring the temperature".
With small infants, the infant is best placed flat on the belly, with the head in the lateral position and the ear facing upwards. With older children or adults, standing slightly to the side and behind the patient is the best position for taking a reading.
Always measure the temperature in the same ear, since the temperature readings from ear to ear may vary.
If the patient has just woken from sleep, please wait a few minutes before measuring the ear temperature.
In the following situations it is recommended that three temperature measurements in a row be taken in the same ear and that the highest value be recorded as the reading:
With newborn infants in the first 100 days of life.
- With children under three years of age with a vulnerable immune system, where the presence or absence of fever can be critical.
While familiarising yourself with the device and practicing the proper use of the infrared ear thermometer, until you are obtaining consistent readings.
If the measured values appear abnormally low to you.
To achieve maximum accuracy with successive measurements, please wait 30 seconds after each 3-5 measurements.
For each measurement use a new and undamaged protective sleeve.
Use only the Domotherm®OT protective sleeves (see Accessories on page 32) designated for this thermometer.
Place a new disposable protective sleeve with the paper side up into the protective sleeve holder of the storage tray.
Place the measuring probe perpendicular to the centre of the sleeve.
Press the probe fully into the opening of the protective sleeve bracket until you hear a slight click.
Carefully extract the measuring probe with the attached disposable protective sleeve from the protective sleeve bracket.
Check whether the sleeve is mounted correctly. If the protective sleeve is damaged or improperly attached, remove it and use a new one.

Temperature measurement
Switch on the device by pressing the on/off button.
The device will run an internal self-test. All display segments light up for about two seconds.
The most recently measured temperature value is then displayed for two seconds together with the symbol "M" (memory).
The device now switches to measuring mode. A beep signals the readiness for measurement. The ^ C or ^ F symbol on the display flashes.
Stretch the ear canal by pulling on the middle of the ear slightly upwards/to the rear:
With children under one year: Pull the ear directly to the rear.
- With children from one year and with adults: Pull the ear upwards and to the rear.
While pulling the ear gently, insert the probe into the ear canal. Now press the Start button.
After approx. one second, a single long beep signals the end of the measurement.
If the measured temperature is above 37.4^ (99.3°F), ten short beeps sound in quick succession (fever alarm).
Remove the thermometer from the ear canal. The measured temperature is shown in the display.
Remove the used disposable protective sleeve from the measuring probe.
The device automatically turns off approximately one minute after the last measurement. You can also disable the device manually by pressing the on/off button.
Classification of the temperatures measured
You can use the guidelines below to classify the level of fever:
- 37.5 °C to 38.0 °C (99.5 °F to 100.4 °F): elevated temperature
- 38.0°C to 39.0°C (100.4°F to 102.2°F): moderate fever
- 39.0^ (102.2°F) and above: high fever
Warning: Always consult a doctor if the reading shows a high fever.
Battery change
Change the battery
- if following the display test only the battery icon appears in the display.
- if despite having pressed the on/off button the display fails to light up.
- Remove the battery compartment cover screw with a screwdriver.
- Pull the battery compartment cover downwards.
- Remove the old battery and insert a new battery (CR2032) with the + sign facing upwards.
- Slide the battery compartment cover back up onto the housing and refasten it with the screw.
Switching from ^ C / F
This thermometer can display temperature measurements in either degrees Fahrenheit or Celsius.
To toggle the display between ^ C and ^ turn the device off. Press the Start button for about five seconds, until the display shows three dashes and ^ C or ^ .
By pressing the Start button again you can now switch back and forth between ^ C and ^ F . Once the desired measurement unit appears on the display, wait five seconds. The device now switches into the measuring mode using the chosen setting.
Error messages
The temperature measured is above 100.0^ (212.0^) and is thus outside the measuring range.
