Directions

Method: Rectal

Normal Temperature: 97.3°F - 100.4°F

Fever Range: 100.4°F +

For Rectal Use:

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that for at least the first year of baby's life (though up to three is best), temp checks should only be done rectally.

• Before inserting the thermometer, lubricate the silver tip. We suggest coconut oil or other natural lubricants.
• Lift baby's legs and gently insert the thermometer tip up to the insertion stopper.
• Do not insert past the point where you feel resistance (usually from baby's lower cheeks).

Call your child's doctor right away if your child has a fever and:

• Is younger than 3 months (12 weeks) and has a temperature of 100.4°F (38.0°C) or higher.
• If, at any age, the fever rises above 104°F (40°C) repeatedly.

Operating Instructions

1. Press the Power Button to turn the thermometer on.
2. Your last temperature reading will show on the LCD screen.
3. You'll see "---" [displaying dashes] and either F° or C° [Fahrenheit/Celsius indicator] on the top right of the screen. (See below to CHANGE UNIT.)
4. Ensure you are in the correct unit settings.
5. Taking baby's temperature with an 10-Second reading: Insert the thermometer into the rectum. Screen will show a loading "[loading indicator]" while registering the temperature. The thermometer will beep and flash a temperature reading after 10 seconds.
6. Wait a minimum of one minute before attempting a new measurement.
7. Press the Power Button to turn off. This can be done at any point during a reading.
8. Remember to sanitize the thermometer before and after all readings.

Change Unit

To change from Fahrenheit (°F) to Celsius (°C), turn it on. When the last temp reading flashes, hold the button for 3 seconds. Press button once to scroll to next mode. Once on preferred mode, wait for 3 seconds to confirm selection.

Memory Mode

After a test is complete, press and hold the power button for 3 seconds. The display will show "MEM" [memory mode indicator], entering memory mode. Once in memory mode, press the button once to scroll to the next memory reading. Press and hold the button for three seconds to turn off.

Cleaning and Disinfection

• Wipe the thermometer with a soft clean cloth.
• For stubborn stains, wipe the thermometer with a cloth that has been dampened with water or a neutral detergent and wipe thoroughly.
• Finish by wiping with a soft dry cloth.
• For disinfection, 75% Ethanol or Isopropyl alcohol can be used.

Observe the following to prevent damage to the thermometer:

• Do not use benzene, thinner, gasoline or other strong solvents to clean the thermometer.
• Do not attempt to disinfect the sensing section (tip) of the thermometer by immersing in alcohol or in hot water (water over 122°F/50°C).
• Do not use ultrasonic washing to clean the thermometer.

Troubleshooting / Error Codes

Performance may be degraded should one or more of the following occur:

• Operation outside stated temperature and humidity range.
• Storage outside stated temperature and humidity range.
• Mechanical shock.
• Patient temperature is below ambient temperature.

Normal Body Temperature / Fever Indicator

Body temperature can vary from 97°F and 100.0°F and still be considered normal. The medically accepted 'normal' body temperature is 98.6°F. Body temperature is commonly lower upon waking than at any point during the rest of an individual's waking hours. Temperature readings will vary based on the body location point of the reading. Rectal temperature readings between 97°F (36.1°C) and 100.5°F (38.2°C) are considered normal.

A fever is defined as a body temperature that is elevated above the normal for that person. It is important to determine what is normal for an individual before determining if a fever is present. Tracking an individual's temperature on a consistent basis, at the same body site and at the same time every day when the person is well or healthy will help determine an individual's normal temperature.
