Important Safety Instructions

Attention

• This device can be used at home and in hospital.
• The user should be at least 11 years old.
• The patient can be the user.
• Don't use the thermometer in high humidity environments.
• This device cannot replace a doctor's visit or a medical diagnosis.
• Please be aware of the risk of burns after heating objects in the microwave, since a surface measurement can produce a lower temperature than the temperature inside the object.
• Do not use the device if you believe that it is damaged or if you have noticed something unusual.
• The device is not waterproof – do not immerse it in water or other liquids.
• Ensure that this device is not accessible to children in order to prevent swallowing of batteries or the battery compartment cover.
• This device may not be opened, dismantled or modified.
• Before use, the device should be acclimated to the ambient temperature (that is, room temperature). If a change in ambient temperature should occur, such as due to a temperature difference between the storage location and the usage location of the device, you should wait at least 30 minutes before use so that the device can adapt to a stable ambient temperature (usage location)!
• Soiling on the IR sensor must be carefully removed with a dry cloth or a cotton swab. Do not use paper towels or paper tissues to clean the sensor.

- The device contains sensitive electronic components – in order to ensure its capability to perform, it must be used and stored according to the descriptions in the user instructions.

Protect the device from

• Extreme temperatures
• Shocks and vibrations
• Dust
• Direct sunlight
• Extreme humidity

- Please remove the batteries if the device is not used for an extended period of time.

- This device measures the skin temperature on the forehead in order to determine human body temperature. Skin temperature can vary in dependence on various influences, such as due to bathing, swimming or other athletic activities, due to sweating, due to the use of ice packs and the extended effects of high or low temperatures (outdoors). Before taking temperature measurements, please wait at least 30 minutes so that the body can adapt to a stable ambient temperature (room temperature).

- Water, other surface liquids (e.g. sweat) or condensate can negatively influence infrared measurements.

- Please ensure that the skin surface or the surface of the object which is measured, as well as the sensor lens, are dry before performing a temperature measurement, in order to ensure the accuracy of this measurement.

- In the initial stage of a febrile illness, a physiological phenomenon called vasoconstriction (vascular constriction) can occur, which leads to a lower skin temperature. For this reason, a measurement with this thermometer may return an unusually low result.

- If the measurement result should not correspond with the condition of the patient or should be unusually low, the measurement should be repeated at 15 minute intervals or compared to a different measurement of core body temperature.

- Do not use the thermometer immediately after the following:

• Drinking or Eating
• Exercising
• Nursing a baby

Important Notes about Taking Temperature Measurement of Infants & Juveniles!

Doctors recommend rectal measurement for newborn infants within the first 6 months, as all other measuring methods might lead to ambiguous results. If using a non-contact thermometer on infants of this age range, we always recommend verifying the temperature readings with a rectal measurement!

In the following situation it is recommended that three temperatures are taken with the highest one taken as the reading:

1. New born infants in the first 100 days.
2. Children under age of three 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 thermometer for the first time, until he/she has familiarized himself/herself with the device and capable of obtaining consistent readings.
4. If the measurement is surprisingly low.

Note

Readings from different measurement sites should not be compared because the normal body temperature varies between different measurement sites and the time of the day, being highest in the evening and lowest about one hour before waking up.

Normal body temperature ranges:

• Axillar: 34.7 - 37.3°C
• Oral: 35.5 - 37.5°C
• Rectal: 36.6 - 38.0°C
• bosotherm diagnostic: 35.4 - 37.4°C

- Objects with a low IR emission level can return temperature data which is below the actual object temperature.

- Do not touch the lens of the infrared sensor – contaminations on the lens can cause inaccuracies in the temperature display.

WARNING: The measurement results given by this device is not a diagnosis. It is not replacing the need for the consultation of a physician, especially if not matching the patient's symptoms. Do not rely on the measurement result only, always consider other potentially occurring symptoms and the patient's feedback. Calling a doctor or an ambulance is advised if needed.
