Intended for Use

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

Safety Precautions

Proper technique is critical to obtaining accurate temperatures. Therefore, in
order to obtain an accurate measurement, please read this manual carefully
before using.
• To avoid inaccurate readings, always attach a new, clean lens cover for
each ear temperature reading. Lens covers are for single use only. Only
HealthSmart branded lens covers may be used with this thermometer.
• Missing, damaged, perforated or dirty lens covers can lead to inaccurate
temperature readings.
• Use of this thermometer is not intended as a substitution for consultation
with your physician. Measurement results are for reference only. Contact your
physician if you have or suspect any health concerns.
• The infrared sensor must be kept clean, dry and undamaged at all times
to ensure accurate measurements. If the probe tip is placed into the ear
canal without a probe cover installed, please remove from the ear canal and
properly clean the lens.
• Earwax and other debris in the ear canal may cause an inaccurate measure-
ment. Ensure the ear canal is clean when taking a measurement.
• Do not touch or blow on the infrared sensor. A dirty sensor may cause
inaccuracy.
• Avoid measuring the ear temperature if the ear is inflamed or inflected.
• If the temperature of the storage area differs greatly from that of the
measurement area, please wait for the thermometer temperature to equalize
to the room temperature for about 30 minutes before use.
• Keep the device out of the reach of children and pets to avoid inhalation or
swallowing of small parts. Do not allow children to take their own tempera-
tures unattended. Children may not be able to use the device according to
the instructions in this user manual. This is not a toy.
