INTRODUCTION

This thermometer has been carefully developed for accurate, safe, and fast human body
temperature measurements via the ear and forehead. It has also been similarly validated
for object temperature measurements.
This thermometer uses an offset when taking forehead and ear measurements so that the
reading reflects the body's core temperature.
When used in accordance to the user's manual, this thermometer can be easily maintained.
Please note that the ear is an ideal site for taking a body temperature measurement. This is
because body temperature is regulated by the hypothalamus, which shares the same blood
supply as the tympanic (ear) membrane.
The thermometer is an ear canal IR thermometer. The forehead temperature is obtained
based on the site offset between the ear and the forehead, and the forehead temperature
is only used as a reference.
This thermometer is intended for home use by customer only. The measure site is ear canal.

INTENDED USE

The device is intended for the intermittent measurement and monitoring of human body
temperature by consumers in the home. It is intended for use on people of all ages.
