USER MANUAL Comfort Quick CHICCO

Infrared ear thermometer Comfort Quick Dear Customer, thank you for choos- ing our product! This thermometer was designed by a panel of highly proﬁcient technicians and produced in conformity with all applicable European Standards. It uses the smallest probe in the world (5.9 mm in diameter) and is therefore ideal for measuring ear temperatures of newborns, infants and all children in general. The thermometer picks up the infra- red radiation emitted by the tympanic membrane and converts the reading into an equivalent oral measurement. Always keep the thermometer and probe caps out of reach of children and never leave children unattended when using the thermometer. The thermometer contains small parts that children can accidentally swallow. If in doubt, or if the temperature goes up, contact your doctor for advice. BODY TEMPERATURE It is important to bear in mind that body temperature varies from person to person, depending on where the reading is taken, and it varies through- out the day, ﬂuctuating between 35.5 ° C and 37.8 ° C. (95.5 ° F -100 ° F). This is why, in order to evaluate the temperature reading properly, we recommend you record the child’s normal ear temperature, when he is in good health, at various times of day and use this as your benchmark when assessing if the temperature has risen or not. To determine whether some- one has a fever, it is recommended to compare the current temperature reading with one taken in good health: an increase equal to or greater than 1°C (1.8 ° F) compared to the bench- mark temperature is usually indicative of a fever. Furthermore, not only do different measurement points (rectal, underarm, oral, frontal, ear) provide different readings, but it is also difﬁ- cult to produce valid correlations for each subject (there are only statistical data in this sense). It is hence abso- lutely normal that the temperature differs when taken in the ear rather than the underarm and it is wrong to try and compare the two. It is also wrong to compare readings taken on the right and left sides of the body as the temperature readings depend on the depth of the blood vessels where the reading is taken, and this depth usually differs between the right and left side. The indicative readings below refer to standard adult temperatures taken in different parts of the body: - ear temperature: 35.8 – 38°C / 96.4 – 100.4° F - rectal temperature: 36.6 – 38°C /

The thermometer tends to compensate ear temperature readings according to the room temperatures. To get the most accurate reading, it is therefore recom- mended to place the thermometer in the room where it will be used for at least 20-25 minutes. The person whose temperature will be taken should also be in the same room for at least 5 min- utes before taking the reading. Whilst taking the temperature, make sure that the patient and thermometer are not exposed to direct heat, sunlight or air conditioning.

Before taking the reading, check that the ear canal is clean and accessible; do not clean the ear just before using the probe as the use of hot or cold water will affect the reading.

Do not take a person’s temperature for at least thirty minutes after physical effort, a bath or after a meal.

If the probe is pointed at a hot object, it will perform a remote temperature reading. To avoid such reading errors, keep the time from when it is switched on to when it takes the ear reading to a minimum.

Do not touch the sensor, the probe or the probe cap with your ﬁngers. If ﬁn- gerprints get left on the sensor, remove them following the instructions provided in the “CARE AND MAINTENANCE” section. READING PROCEDURE Important: before switching the appli- ance on, the probe cap must be ﬁtted correctly, following the instructions provided in the “Fitting the probe cap” section. Fitting the probe caps.

1. Place the probe cap in the hous-

ing in the thermometer case (see diagram 1). Important: position the probe cap making sure the adhesive part, i.e. the knurled section, (see diagram 1 ) is facing upwards.

2. Align the centre of the probe cap

with the centre of the probe.

3. Insert the probe into its seat until

3. Insert the probe into its seat until

you hear it click into place; this mean it is now ready to use. Fig. 1 If the probe cap is not ﬁtted correctly, when the appliance is switched on, the symbol will blink on the dis- play and it will not be possible to take any readings (the appliance will beep three times and no message will ap- pear on the display). Fig. 2 If this happens, ﬁt the probe cap again following the instructions provided in points 1-3 of this section very care- fully. Warning! Only use dedicated probe caps REF

Switching on the appliance and taking readings Press the (ON/MEM) button on the left side of the appliance. Fig. 3 When the appliance is switched on, it will run an autotest and all the seg- ments on the display will light up. If any segments do not light up, do not use the thermometer under any circumstances. When the autotest sessions has been completed, the thermometer display will look like the picture in diagram 4 The thermometer is ready for use as soon as the (ear) icon stops blinking and the appliance beeps twice. Fig. 4 If an error message appears on the display, please refer to page 19. Important: Before taking a reading, always make sure that the sensor is clean and has not been damaged in any manner; also check that the ear canal is perfectly clean too. Now press14

the (ON/MEM) button to turn the appliance ON. How to take a temperature:

1. Gently move the ear back slightly

to straighten the ear canal and very carefully insert the probe into the canal. Aim towards the timpani membrane to get the most accu- rate reading. Diag. 5

For children under two years of age, gently pull the ear backwards.

For children over two years of age and adults, gently pull the ear up- wards and backwards. 0-2 years >2 years Fig. 6

2. Press the “SCAN” button on the

right side of the thermometer and in about 1 second the thermom- eter will emit an acoustic signal which means it has taken the read- ing. The temperature reading will be visible on the display immediately. Fig. 7 Note: Ear temperatures have to be converted into the equivalent oral temperature. The thermometer converts the tem- perature to show the equivalent oral temperature (depending on the result of clinical Bias). Note: the reading taken in the right ear canal can vary to the reading in the left ear canal: this is because the depth and size of the right and left tympanic artery can be different. Once the temperature has been re- corded, the thermometer will emit another short beep when it is ready to be used again. IMPORTANT Always take temperatures in the same ear canal to obtain more accurate re- sults. Always use the same ear if the temperature has to be taken repeat- edly at various intervals. If consecutive readings are required, wait at least 2 minutes between readings to prevent the sensor from overheating and re- cording inaccurate measurements. Fig. 8 Holding the thermometer in your hand for too long and/or exposing it to heat sources could cause the sen- sor to record a higher than normal room temperature. This could cause the ear temperature reading to be lower than normal.

“LAST READING” FUNCTION

The icon indicates that the “last reading” function is enabled. When this function is used, you can take temperatures one after another, with- out switching the thermometer off, and the last reading will be visible in the top right corner of the display. MEMORY FUNCTION This thermometer has a memory which can store up to 25 readings (Please note: if repeated readings are taken without switching the ther- mometer off in between, the memory will only store the last reading taken). To access the memory, switch the thermometer on, press the (ON/ MEM) button repeatedly to scroll through the various readings until you ﬁnd the one you need.

CHANGING BETWEEN FAHRENHEIT

(°F) AND CELSIUS (°C) To change the reading mode on the LCD display from °C to °F: switch the appliance off, press and hold the “SCAN” button, now press and release the (ON/MEM) button. When the ‘°F’ sign appears on the LCD display, release the “SCAN” button. Use the same procedure to change the read- ing mode on the LCD display from °F to °C. FEVER ALARM If the thermometer detects a read- ing of ≥37.5°C (or 99.5°F) it will emit an acoustic signal followed by three short beeps to warn the user that the patient could have a fever.

THERMOMETER The appliance switches off automati- cally if unused for over 1 minute to preserve battery life, or if the but- ton is pressed and held for 5 seconds.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

The sensor (shown in the diagram 9) is the most delicate part of the ther- mometer. sensor Fig. 9 Handle with great care when clean- ing the sensor to avoid damaging it in any way. a. Store the appliance in a dry place, away from liquids and direct sun- light. b. Use cotton wool or pads soaked in 70% rubbing alcohol to clean the sensor and the plastic part which comes into contact with the ear canal. c. Use a new probe cap for each read-14

Always use the same ear if the temperature has to be taken repeat- edly at various intervals. If consecutive readings are required, wait at least 2 minutes between readings to prevent the sensor from overheating and re- cording inaccurate measurements. Fig. 8 Holding the thermometer in your hand for too long and/or exposing it to heat sources could cause the sen- sor to record a higher than normal room temperature. This could cause the ear temperature reading to be lower than normal.

“LAST READING” FUNCTION

1. Check that the sensor is clean.

2. before taking someone’s tempera-

ture, make sure the person is in the room for about 5 minutes before the reading and has not undergone physical exertion or had a bath in the last 30 minutes; place the thermometer in the room at least 20/25 minutes before the reading so it can adapt to the room tem- perature.

3. Use a new probe cap for each read-

4. Use dedicated probe caps only

5. Check that the ear canal is perfectly

clean before taking someone’s tem- perature. Try to avoid cleaning it just before the reading

6. Keep a distance from all sources of

heat when taking temperatures.

7. The ﬁrst time you use the ther-

mometer, remember to remove the battery protection tab (see para- graph “HOW TO INSERT/REPLACE THE BATTERY”)

8. If the thermometer or the probe

get damaged in any manner, the thermometer could encounter dif- ﬁculties whilst taking temperatures: if the thermometer is dropped or there is sign of damage, do not use it again before having it checked

9. Have the calibration checked every

3 years. For further information please consult the Chicco website at www.chicco.com Choking from swallowing probe covers and connection ring by chil- dren or pets is possible, please keep the probe covers and connection ring
