PrecisionTemp 1 Second Ear Thermometer

Thank you for purchasing the BIOS Diagnostics PrecisionTemp 1 Second Ear

Thermometer. This is a high quality product incorporating the latest technology and tested in accordance with international standards. With its unique technology, this thermometer can provide safe, accurate and reliable readings with each measurement on people over 2 years of age.

1. Features

Multiple Uses (Wide Range Measurement)

This thermometer offers a wide measurement range feature from 0°C to 100.0°C

(32.0°F to 212.0°F), meaning the unit can be used as an ear thermometer to measure body temperature or it can be used to measure surface temperature of the following:

• Milk surface temperature in a baby’s bottle

• Surface temperature of a baby’s bath

• Ambient temperature

Measurement in 1 Second

The innovative infrared technology allows measurement of ear temperature in only 1 second.

Multiple Reading Recall

Users will be able to recall the last 30 readings when entering the recall mode, enabling efficient tracking of temperature variations.

Fever Alarm

10 short beeps and a red LCD backlight alerts the patient that he/she may have a temperature above 37.5°C / 99.5°F.

Illuminated Probe

This thermometer includes a probe LED light which enables the user to find the correct ear position in the dark. The probe will illuminate for approximately 10 seconds when the thermometer is turned ON.

“Clean Me” Technology

After each temperature measurement “clean me” will flash on the LCD to remind users to clean the probe. See Care and Cleaning section.

Accurate and Reliable

The unique probe assembly construction incorporates an advanced infrared sensor, ensuring that each measurement is accurate and reliable.

Free PrecisionTemp App

This thermometer accurately tracks each family member’s temperature and connects via Bluetooth ® to the FREE PrecisionTemp App. The App warns parents when a fever is rising and when to consult with a medical professional.

Includes normal temperature ranges, measurement techniques and symptoms parents should watch for.

Please read these instructions carefully before using this thermometer and keep both in a safe place.

2. Important Safety Instructions

This thermometer may only be used for the purposes described in this booklet.

The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage caused by incorrect application.

Never immerse this instrument in water or other liquids. For cleaning please follow the instructions in the «Care and Cleaning» section.

• Do not use the thermometer if there are any signs of damage. Do not attempt to repair the thermometer.

• Earwax in the ear canal may cause a lower temperature reading, therefore it is important to ensure the patient’s ear canal is clean.

• If the measurement result is not consistent with the patient’s finding or suspiciously low, repeat the measurement every 15 minutes or double check the result by another core body temperature measurement.

• This thermometer consists of high quality precision parts. Do not drop this instrument. Protect it from severe impact and shock.

• Keep the thermometer away from direct exposure to the sun and keep it in a dust-free dry area.

• If the thermometer is not going to be used for a prolonged period the battery should be removed.

• Battery cover should be installed correctly before use to avoid potential risk of electric shock.

WARNING:

• Use of this thermometer is not intended as a substitute for consultation with your physician.

• Ensure that children do not use the instrument unsupervised; some parts are small enough to be swallowed.

• It is not recommended to use infrared thermometers on children under 2 years of age.

• Infrared thermometers should not be used to manage important health concerns, and therefore parents should not rely solely on temperature readings to evaluate the status of your child’s health. If you have any concerns, consult with your doctor.

Using the unit in the immediate vicinity of mobile phones, microwave appliances or other devices with strong electromagnetic fields may result in impaired functioning.

Do not use this device close to strong electromagnetic fields, such as mobile telephones or radio installations. Keep a distance from such devices when using this unit.

This device complies with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s).

Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

(1) this device may not cause interference, and

(2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.

This thermometer measures infrared energy radiated from the eardrum and the surrounding tissue. This energy is collected through the lens and converted to a temperature value. The measured reading obtained directly from the eardrum

(Tympanic Membrane) ensures the most accurate ear temperature.

Measurements taken from the surrounding tissue of the ear canal generate lower readings and may result in misdiagnosis of fever.

5. Setting The Date And Time

1. When using the Ear Thermometer for the first time please remove the plastic strip located in the battery compartment.

2. Once the Ear Thermometer is powered up, the year digits will flash on the screen.

Or by pressing and holding the M -button for 3 seconds the year digits will flash.

Press the START button to set the year digits. Press the M -button to confirm.

3. Next the month and day will appear on the screen. Press the START button to set the month digits. Press the M -button to confirm.

4. Follow the same process to set the day, 12/24 hour mode, hours and minutes.

5. Once you have set the minutes and pressed the M -button the date and time are set and the time is displayed.

- If no button is pressed for 20 seconds, the thermometer automatically switches to the measuring screen and you are ready to take a reading.

- To cancel time setup, press the button during time setup. The LCD will show Date / Time icons with “--:--”. Press the button to start the measurement. If no further action is taken within 60 seconds, the thermometer will automatically turn OFF.

6. Directions For Use

PLEASE NOTE: When you turn the thermometer on by pressing the button, all segments of the screen will be shown for 1 second and one beep is heard. (Figure 1)

1. When the thermometer is ready to take a reading the °C or °F icon will be flashing, and you will see -- - on the screen.

Figure 1

2. Straighten the ear canal by gently pulling the middle of the ear back and up.

3. Place the probe firmly into the ear canal, press the START button and keep the probe in the ear until the thermometer beeps to signal the completion of the measurement. The probe LED light will turn OFF once the START button is pressed to take the measurement.

NOTE:

• Always insert the thermometer in the same ear with the same direction and depth.

• Always clean the probe accordingly before and after each use. (See Care and

Cleaning section).

• It is recommended that you measure the temperature 3 times in the same ear.

If the 3 measurements are different, select the highest one. Allow 30 seconds between each measurement.

• Before measurements, remain in a stable environment and avoid exercise and bathing for 30 minutes.

• Readings from different measuring sites should not be compared as the normal body temperature varies by measuring site and time of day, being highest in the evening and lowest about one hour before waking up.

Normal body temperature ranges:

- Ear: 35.4 – 37.4°C / 95.7 – 99.3°F

- Axillary / Underarm: 34.7 – 37.3°C / 94.5 – 99.1°F

- Oral: 35.5 – 37.5°C / 95.9 – 99.5°F

- Rectal: 36.6 – 38.0°C / 97.9 – 100.4°F

OFF. The beeper is activated when the beeper icon is not crossed out. (Figure 2)

NOTE: If no button is pressed for 5 seconds, the thermometer automatically switches to measuring mode.

Figure 2

8. Fever Alarm

If the thermometer detects a body temperature greater than 37.5°C / 99.5°F, it will make 10 short beeping sounds and the LCD will light up RED, indicating a potential fever.
