• Be aware that a basic physiological effect called vasocon-
striction can occur in the early stages of a fever, resulting in
a cool skin effect. The measured temperatures using this
thermometer during this effect can, therefore, be unusually
low.
• If a measurement seems incorrect, is not consistent with
the patient's finding, or is low, then repeat the measure-
ment every 15 minutes or double check the result by
another core body temperature measurement.
• Performance of this thermometer may be degraded if:
• used outside of its specified operation temperature
and humidity rating, or if stored outside of its
specified storage temperature and humidity rating.
Avoid storage in direct sunlight.
• the device is exposed to mechanical shock.
• the patient's temperature is lower than that of the
ambient.
• the patient's temperature is outside the specified
patient range.
• the tip/lens is dirty or damaged; ensure the tip/lens
is clean before using.
