MEDISANA FTN Infrared Thermometer

Introduction

The MEDISANA FTN is a digital infrared thermometer designed for quick, hygienic, and non-contact measurement of body and object temperatures.

Key Features

• Non-contact measurement at a distance of approximately 5 cm.
• Fast measurement in about 1 second.
• Measures body temperature and object/ambient temperature.
• Stores up to 30 measurements in its memory.
• Features an illuminated LCD display for easy reading.
• Provides audible signals for measurement completion.
• Includes a high temperature alarm with color-coded display.

Device and Controls

The device features several controls and indicators:

• Illuminated LCD display: Shows measurement results, memory data, and error messages.
• START button: Initiates measurement and recalls stored data.
• ON/OFF button: Powers the device on and off.
• Battery compartment: Houses the batteries.
• Illumination: Provides backlighting for the display.
• Sensor: Detects infrared radiation for temperature measurement.
• Selector switch: Allows switching between body temperature and object temperature measurement modes, and selecting measurement sites for body temperature (mouth [oral], armpit [axillary], or anus [rectal]).

Safety Instructions

General Precautions:

• Read this manual carefully before using the device and keep it for future reference.
• Do not use the device if it is damaged.
• This device is intended for household use. Commercial use requires annual metrological control.
• The device is not a substitute for medical consultation.
• Ensure the patient and the device are in a stable environment for at least 30 minutes before measurement.
• Always supervise children to prevent them from playing with the device.

Battery Safety:

• Do not disassemble batteries.
• Replace batteries with the specified type (AAA, 1.5V) and ensure correct polarity.
• Do not mix old and new batteries or different battery types.
• Remove batteries if the device will not be used for an extended period.
• Keep batteries away from children.
• Do not recharge, short-circuit, or dispose of batteries in fire.
• Dispose of used batteries properly according to local regulations.

Device Handling:

• Do not immerse the device in water or other liquids; it is not waterproof.
• Clean the sensor and device as instructed.
• Avoid dropping the device or exposing it to strong impacts.
• Do not expose the device to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, humidity, or dust.

How to Use

Body Temperature Measurement

1. Turn on the device using the ON/OFF button.
2. Use the selector switch to set the device to body temperature mode. Select the appropriate measurement site (mouth [oral], armpit [axillary], or anus [rectal]) using the START button. The selected symbol will flash.
3. Wait for the blinking °C symbol, indicating the device is ready.
4. Point the sensor towards the forehead, about 5 cm away. Ensure the forehead is clean and free of hair or sweat for accurate readings.
5. Press and hold the START button. The device will emit signals during measurement.
6. Release the START button when the measurement is complete (indicated by a final signal).
7. The measured temperature is displayed. A green background indicates a normal temperature, while a red background and multiple beeps signal a fever.
8. Note: Forehead temperature may differ from core body temperature. For critical measurements, consider alternative methods or re-measurement after 15 minutes.

Object Temperature Measurement

1. Use the selector switch to set the device to object temperature mode.
2. Point the sensor towards the object, about 5 cm away. Ensure the surface is clean.
3. Press and hold the START button.
4. Release the START button when the measurement is complete. The measured temperature is displayed.

Recalling Measurements

To recall stored measurements, press the START button without turning on the device. The memory indicator 'M' will flash. Press START again to cycle through the saved measurements (up to 30).

Error Messages

• H: Measured temperature is too high (Body > 42.2°C, Object > 100°C).
• L: Measured temperature is too low (Body < 34°C, Object < 0°C).
• High Ambient Temperature: Object measurement environment is too hot (> 40°C).
• Low Ambient Temperature: Object measurement environment is too cold (< 5°C for objects, < 16°C for body).
• Err: General display error; 3 short beeps.
• Empty Display: Check battery installation.
• Low Battery Indicator: Replace batteries.

Cleaning and Care

• Clean the sensor gently with a cotton swab moistened with warm water or 70% isopropyl alcohol.
• Clean the device casing with a soft cloth slightly dampened with mild soap solution or 70% isopropyl alcohol. Ensure no liquid enters the device.
• Allow the device to dry completely before use.
• Do not use harsh cleaning agents, solvents, or abrasive materials.
• Avoid scratching the sensor lens, display, or casing.
• Remove batteries for long-term storage.
• Regular servicing or calibration is not required if the device is used according to the instructions.
