HOW THE EAR THERMOMETER TAKES A READING
The Grow With Me Ear Thermometer Set measures the heat radiated from the eardrum and the surrounding tissue. This energy is collected through the lens and converted to a temperature value equivalent to the commonly used oral reading. The measured reading obtained directly from the eardrum (Tympanic Membrane) can ensure the most accurate body temperature. The accuracy of a reading will depend on your technique, so please follow instruc- tions for use carefully. We recommend that you practice using the ear thermometer on yourself and your family members when they are healthy. You will then be more confident using the ear thermometer when a
family member is ill.
The Grow With Me Ear Thermometer Set meets the ASTM Accuracy Standard under normal operating condi- tions.
The Grow With Me Ear Thermometer Set has been clinically tested and proven to be safe and accurate when used in accordance with operating instructions.
WHAT IS A NORMAL TEMPERATURE?
Normal body temperature varies from person to person. It is important to be familiar with your and your child’s healthy temperature range to help you identify what is normal. You can do this with your Grow With Me Ear Thermometer Set. Please note that ear, oral, rectal and
Normal Temperature Range by Age: |
| |
Age | Fahrenheit | Celsius |
97.5°F - 100.4°F | 36.4°C - 38.0°C | |
97.0°F - 100.0°F | 36.1°C - 37.8°C | |
96.6°F - 99.7°F | 35.9°C - 37.6°C | |
> 65 | 96.4°F - 99.5°F | 35.8°C - 37.5°C |
underarm temperature readings also vary, therefore readings taken from different body sites should not be directly compared.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Note:
4
•The thermometer probe should be kept clean by using alcohol swab to wipe it 2 minutes prior to the test, and after each use.
Dirt, dust, or ear wax on the sensor will give inaccurate measurements!
•Do not touch the thermometer probe 2 minutes before measuring the ear.
•The time interval of the continuous measurement for the same ear should be at least 15 seconds.
•The thermometer probe should be fitted into the ear canal deep enough with gentle insertion, making sure you don’t move the thermometer, then press the start key to get the measurement, do not remove the probe until hearing a beep sound.
•Whenever putting on (or removing) the adult adaptor, you need to wait for 2 more minutes to cool down the probe so as to get a reliable reading for next measurement. The adult adaptor should be assembled to the probe by hearing (or feeling) a small click sound, so that we can ensure a reliable measurement.
•The adult adaptor is not necessary to put on unless it is for measuring the temperature of an adult.
