Advanced infrared measuring system

The advanced infrared temperature measuring technology provides safe, accurate, reliable and hygienic readings for measuring both forehead and ambient temperature. The forehead temperature reading lookup table was calculated and developed based on systematic skin clinical data statistics to accommodate fever and non-fever subjects, under different operating environment. The one second measurement thermometer without contacting

skin is a suitable choice for obtaining body temperature and prevents cross contamination by measuring around 5 cm from the forehead.

Benefit of using Non-contact Thermometer

• Without contact –prevent cross contamination
• Safe , hygienic & fast
• Save costs on probe cover vs ear thermometer
• Dual function - Measure body temperature & object/ambience temperature
• Patients especially babies are not disturb from sleep during measurement

How to use - Non contact Thermometer

LCD Display

• The temple temperature measurement mode
• The object temperature measurement mode
• When battery icon shows, please replace the battery.
• Fever Alarm: If thermometer detects a body temperature => 37.5°C, there will be four beeps sound with flashing reading to warn the user tot potential lever.

How to use - Non contact Thermometer

• Always make sure the probe is dean, and without damage.
• Press "ON/OFF/Memory" button to power on the device.
• Vertically aim the thermometer at the temple with a distance of less than 5 cm. If the temple is covered with hair, sweat or dirt, remove the obstacle from the temple to improve the measuring accuracy.
• Press the "Start" button to take temperature. Measurement is complete when you hear a long beep sound.
• Read the recorded temperature from the LCD display.
• Clean the probe after each use to ensure an accurate reading and avoid cross contamination. (See the section of Care and Cleaning for details.)
• Remember to put in the storage case when not in use.

Specification

Clinically Accurate

This Ear thermometer has been clinically tested in several big teaching hospitals based on the protocol of EN 12470-5:2003 regulatory standard, covering sufficient febrile and normal body temperature subjects with satisfied clinical repeatability and measuring accuracy comparing to the concurrent oral temperature measurement reading.

Q & A - FEVER

What is Fever?

Fever is one of the body's defence mechanisms. When bacteria or viruses get into your body and cause it to malfunction, the body goes on the defensive and your immune system is activated. When this happens, a central nerve in the brain allows the heat generated inside the body to be turned up from the usually constant level. This higher temperature level increases the metabolism and prevents the increase of pathogenic agents.

What is the “normal temperature”?

Normal temperature" is usually around 37 °C (98,6 °F). However, normal temperature is not the same for every individual. Temperature can vary with age, and even time of day. Usually it is lowest in the morning, highest in the afternoon and somewhat lower at bedtime.

Why measure body temperature?

It is of great medical importance to measure body temperature. The reason is that a number of diseases are accompanied by characteristic changes in body temperature. Likewise, the course of certain diseases can be monitored by measuring body temperature, and the efficiency of a treatment initiated can be evaluated by the physician. Fever is a reaction to disease-specific stimuli, where the set point of the temperature control centre is varied to promote the body's defences against the disease process. Fever is the most common form of pathological (disease- related) elevation on body temperature.

How accurate are thermometer measurements?

Essentially a distinction must be made between the technical accuracy of the thermometer itself and the clinical accuracy in use in taking a temperature. The former is determined under idealized conditions to guarantee the quality of the instrument, taking the relevant technical standards into account. An accuracy of +/- 0.1°C can be considered state of the art for high-grade thermometers. The user must not confuse technical accuracy with this accuracy in use. The human body temperatures described here, which depend on the measurement location and time, are due to physiological causes and are not due to a thermometer malfunction.

Where should I take the temperature?

Rectal

The most reliable core temperature is obtained by inserting a thermometer into the rectum (rectal measurement). This measurement is accurate and has low scattering in the results. The normal range is approximately 36.2oC -37.7oC.

Vaginal

In women, vaginal temperature measurement yields a slight underestimate of temperature by an average of 0.1°C to 0.3°C in comparison with a rectal measurement with comparable stability.

Ear

Ear thermometers measure the temperature of the eardrum with an infrared sensor. The tip of the thermometer is simply positioned in the ear channel and results are obtained in one second! Next to its convenience this method is very reliable if accuracy can be proven by a clinical validation. Well-designed ear thermometers perform very accurately without great scattering in results. An optimised tip shape is the basis for reliable data obtained with infants and babies.

Oral

The oral measurement can be performed as buccal measurement (in the cheek) or as a sublingual measurement (under the tongue). Both measurements underestimate the rectal temperature by approximately 0.3°C - 0.8° C, with the sublingual measurement being preferable to the buccal.

Forehead

Forehead thermometers offer the least intrusive and therefore most comfortable way to measure body temperature. Simply place the thermometer onto the patient's forehead and an infrared sensor detects the peak reading, while a second sensor measures the ambient temperature. The difference in these readings is analysed, and according to clinically established offsets, a body temperature reading is determined and displayed on the LCD.

Armpit

Body surface temperature measurements used clinically in practice are in the arm pit (axillary measurement) and in the groin. In both cases the respective limb is pressed against the body in order to reduce any ambient temperature influence. However, this is successful only to a limited extent with the disadvantage that the measurement time is long. In adults, the axillary measurement is lower than the rectal by approximately 0.5°C to 1.5°C! In infants, these underestimates in comparison with the rectal temperature are much smaller.

What is important when taking temperature?

Essentially, it is true that the measured body temperature always depends on where it is measured. Therefore, contrary to popular consensus, there is no simple "normal temperature. Furthermore, a healthy person's body temperature will vary with activity and time during the day. In a rectal temperature measurement, a typical temperature difference of 0.5°C between the higher evening temperatures is physiological. Body temperature is typically elevated after physical activity. Roughly speaking, a distinction is made between a core temperature and a surface, where the surface temperature is measured at the skin surface and is a mixed temperature between the body's core temperature and the ambient temperature. The core temperature is measured by inserting a thermometer into a body cavity, which yields the temperature of the mucous tissue.
