INFRARED FOREHEAD THERMOMETER DET-3012 DIACARE

Forehead thermometer

Description
Thermometer specifically designed for safe use on the forehead. The infrared forehead thermometer is a device that can measure the body temperature of people by detecting the intensity of infrared light emitted from the forehead. It converts the measured heat into a temperature reading displayed on the LCD. The infrared forehead thermometer is intended for intermittent measurement of human body temperature of the skin surface of the forehead by people of all ages. If used correctly, it will quickly assess the temperature accurately.
Infrared forehead thermometer measures the internal body temperature, which is the temperature of the vital organs of a body. This thermometer is designed to measure the temperature of the skin surface over the temporal artery, a major artery in the head. The temporal artery is connected to the heart via the carotid artery, which leads directly from the aorta, the main trunk of the arterial system. It provides a constant blood flow. Therefore, changes in body temperature are reflected in the forehead earlier than in other parts of the body such as the mouth, rectum, and armpits.

How to use
To ensure that your reading always accurately reflects your body temperature, the following factors should be considered.
1. It is important to know the normal temperature of each individual when they are well. This is the only way to accurately diagnose fever. To determine the normal temperature, take several readings when you are healthy. Re-measure with a standard digital thermometer to confirm.
2. Users must be indoors for 30 minutes before taking a measurement. Note: Users and the thermometer must be in the same room temperature for at least 10 minutes before taking a reading.
3. Users should not drink, eat or be physically active, bathe, shower, shampoo and dry hair before/during measurement. Remove hat and hair and wait 10 minutes before taking a reading.
4. Oils or cosmetics on the forehead may give a lower temperature reading than the actual one. Remove any dirt from the forehead before taking a reading. Wait at least 10 minutes after washing the forehead area before taking a reading.
5. Holding your hand on your forehead for any length of time will affect the temperature reading.
6. Do not take temperature over scar tissue, open sores, or abrasions.
7. Do not use the thermometer on a sweaty or perspiring forehead, as this may affect the reading.
8. Do not take a measurement during or immediately after breastfeeding a baby.
9. Do not take temperatures with this thermometer near very hot places, such as fireplaces and stoves.
10. The thermometer probe window is the most delicate part of the device. Do not touch the probe window. The accuracy of the reading may be affected if the probe window is damaged or dirty.
11. If the thermometer is stored in an environment significantly different from the testing location, place it in the testing location for approximately 30 minutes before use.
12. It is not intended for use in oxygen-rich environments and in the presence of flammable anesthetic mixture with air, oxygen or nitrous oxide.
To measure forehead temperature:
1. Press the Test button, the display is activated to show all segments. After self-check, Figure 2 appears on the display screen with voice, so you can start a new measurement.
2. Point the thermometer at the center of your forehead less than 5 cm away (see figure 3) and then press the test button. Note: Do not remove the thermometer from your forehead before you hear the voice.
3. Read the temperature on the display.
4. Press and hold the Test button to turn off.

Warnings
1. There is no gender or age limit for using the infrared forehead thermometer.
2. Do not touch the temperature probe with your hands.
3. The use of this forehead thermometer is not intended as a substitute for consultation with your doctor.

5. Never immerse this device in water or other liquids.
6. Do not modify this equipment without the manufacturer's authorization.
7. Do not expose the thermometer to extreme temperatures (below -25°C/-13°F or above 55°C/131°F) or excessive humidity (>95% RH).
8. Keep the battery away from children.
9. Remove the battery from the device when it is not in use for a long time.
10. Do not place the thermometer in direct sunlight or in contact with cotton wool, otherwise the accuracy will be affected.
