Only use soap and water or rubbing alcohol (isopropanol) to clean the device.

Warnings and Precautions
The data provided by CORE is not intended to replace the advice, diagnosis or professional recommendations of a medical doctor. Please be advised that, due to the diversity of physiological conditions, the data provided by CORE might not provide perfect results for specific individuals. CORE is not a medical device and should not be used to diagnose or treat any medical conditions. This flyer and the guidelines that it contains are written in accordance with the most current information available and its contents are subject to change without notice. Users of CORE are responsible to frequently visit corebodytemp.com for the newest content updates.

Do not modify, disassemble, remanufacture, puncture, or damage the device.

Make sure the device is in proper working condition before use. The sensor should be free of visible defects, discoloration, and damage. If the sensor is discolored or damaged, discontinue use. Never use a damaged sensor or one with exposed electrical circuitry.
Do not attempt to clean or sanitize CORE device in any other manner than set out in the “Maintenance” section of the CORE Important Product Information document.

This device is intended only for external use on healthy skin (no mucous membrane). Do not use this device for any other purpose than what it is intended for.
Do not expose CORE device to excessive heat or fire. Do not bring the device into sauna or steam bath. The rated (safe) operating temperature range of the device is 10-45 °C (55-113 °F). Note: The device can be operated at ambient temperatures below the rated operating temperature limits, as long as the device is kept in contact to the skin. The body heat will keep the device temperature within rated operating temperature limits.

To prevent accelerated battery ageing and discolorations, avoid high temperatures and exposure to direct sunlight when storing CORE. The preferred storage temperature limits of the device are 10-25 °C (55-77 °F).
Do not use CORE in any manner other than that specified in the CORE manuals. Do not attempt to measure a person’s body temperature on another body location than those specified in the official supporting documentation of CORE.

Do not apply the device on irritated or damaged skin or on a fresh tattoo. Remove it immediately if you experience itching, irritation, redness, or rash. To reduce the risk of skin irritation please regularly clean the device with water and soap or rubbing alcohol after each use.
Alterations at the skin surface such as oils, make-up or tattoos may cause inaccuracies in temperature estimation.

CORE should not be used to measure a person’s body temperature instantaneously and in no way is intended to replace routine temperature screening. The user must be aware that CORE has a thermal equilibration time (time needed to acquire a stable reading) of up to 15 minutes before it can display the user’s body temperature accurately.
Accuracy of temperature estimation can be affected by profuse sweating, superficial wounds or injury at the measurement site.

The back side of CORE device must be kept clean and intact. Any damage, dust or dirt can result in an erroneous temperature reading and might cause skin irritations.
In case water enters the CORE device, do not use or attempt to charge the device and contact your dealer immediately for technical service.

Do not use CORE device in any environment with a strong electromagnetic field. Do not use the device close to or inside of MRI or CT facilities.
Handle CORE device with care and avoid any physical percussion such as knocking the device against hard surfaces or dropping it. Do not use CORE device if damaged or not in proper working condition.

CORE is designed for individuals aged 18 to 65. Use outside this age range may result in unexpected or inaccurate temperature readings.
Keep the device and its accessory parts out of reach of infants, children, and pets.

Use of the CORE device does not substitute for professional medical consultation as the CORE is not an approved medical device. Tell your physician what type of thermometer you are using and where on the body the temperature reading was taken.
The “normal” core temperature range as well as tolerance to deviations from this range varies for each individual. The individual core temperature and tolerance to it varies according to factors including, but not limited to, a person’s sex, BMI, age, outside temperature, and physical conditions.
CORE has not been formally tested on pregnant individuals. Actual and measured temperature patterns may deviate from the user’s “normal” temperature range, in a non-pregnant state.
It may take time before changes in the body’s core temperature are reflected in the skin temperature and heat flux. For this reason, it can take up to 1 hour for CORE to report changes in core temperature.
Failure to observe above-mentioned precautions may lead to either overestimated or underestimated body temperature readings.
Note that physical activity can elevate the body temperature. Any misinterpretation of body temperature readings by the user as well as any actions taken as a result of this misinterpretation, cannot be attributed to product malfunctions.
Note that the CORE device and CORE app are subject to frequent updates. Users of CORE are responsible for regularly updating their CORE device and CORE app to their respective latest versions.
