INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing a Veridian Healthcare Instant Ear Thermometer. Please
read this instruction manual completely before using your unit, to ensure safe use,
accurate results and long life of the thermometer.
Ear thermometers (also known as tympanic or aural thermometers), are a great
alternative to oral, rectal and underarm thermometers. The ear is an excellent
site for measuring temperature, as the part of the brain that regulates body
temperature shares a blood supply with the eardrum. This thermometer provides
results several times faster than the fastest oral thermometer, making it ideal for
infants and fidgety children. It can even be used while the patient is sleeping.
Unlike readings from oral thermometers, factors such as smoking, drinking, or
speaking do not affect the measurements taken by ear thermometers.
The Instant Ear Thermometer takes 512 readings in one second, then converts
those data to a single peak temperature, which appears on the display. With
proper care, your new thermometer will provide your entire family with many
years of safe, accurate and comfortable temperature readings.
