Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the BébéSounds® Ear Thermometer. This thermometer will enable you to take an accurate temperature in just one second.

The ear thermometer is a delicate electronic device designed to measure body tempera- ture. This thermometer provides you with accurate and reliable temperature readings by detecting infrared heat from the eardrum. The eardrum reflects the body’s temperature because it shares blood vessels with the part of the brain that controls body temperature.

Temperature readings from an ear thermometer are considered to be as accurate as those taken orally. Please keep in mind that body temperature will differ based on a person’s age and the time of day when it is taken. Temperature will also vary from ear to ear. Therefore, for best results, temperature should be taken from the same ear whenever possible.

Use of this ear thermometer should not replace a visit to your doctor. It is recom- mended that you advise your doctor any time a temperature is above 100°F/37.8°C.
