Omron
Healthcare’s thermometry products feature the latest technology to
provide fast and accurate results. For flexibility in usage, the thermometers
provide readings in both Fahrenheit and Celsius as well as lens covers
for hygienic use…most importantly, Omron thermometers are easy to
use and meet accuracy standards set by independent organizations.
Temperature varies
with each individual. A normal temperature refers to each individual's
average temperature
while they are well. Normal average temperatures range from 36.1°C/97°F
to 37.8°C/100°F when taken orally.
From an oral temperature,
you may calculate a rectal equivalent temperature by adding 0.5°C/1°F
while an
underarm temperature requires subtracting 0.5°C/1°F. For example,
if your oral temperature is 37°C/98.6°F this is the
same as a rectal temperature of 37.5°C/99.6°F or an underarm temperature
of 36.4°C/97.6°F. Rectal temperatures
are generally considered true body temperature.
HOW
TO TAKE BODY TEMPERATURE:
1. Place a probe cover
carefully over the tip (figure 1).
2. Push the on/off button located beside the display window. Hold the
button
down if you choose to recall the last measured temperature. T he thermometer
will beep and the display will read: "188.8° F". This is
a function check indicating
the unit is working properly. Next the thermometer will read L°F.
3. Select oral, underarm or rectal as your measurement site based on the
individual.
4. The °F symbol will continuously flash when the unit is ready to
measure temperature. Please note that " "
indicates a low battery. See instructions for replacing the battery before
measuring temperature. Do not expect an
accurate temperature reading if this low battery indicator is present.
An "Err" message in the window
indicates your unit is not functioning properly.
ORAL
USE: (for ages four years or older)
Do not drink hot
or cold fluids, exercise, smoke or perform other activities prior to
a reading. These activities will raise or lower temperature readings
when compared to
your normal, average temperature. The mouth should remain closed up
to 5 minutes before attempting a reading.
Place the probe
tip well under the tounge in locations as indicate by the ""
(figure 2) Instruct children not to bite down on the probe and keep
mouth closed during temperature measurement.
The peak temperature
should be reached in approximately 10-20 seconds. Opening the mouth
or improper placement of the probe tip could result ina longer time
for a reading.
When peak temperature
is reached, the °F symbol will stop flashing, and the thermometer
will beep repeatedly. Please note: It is not necessary to hear the beep
to ensure the peak temperature has been reached. When the °F stops
flashing and the display reads a consistent temperature, the peak temperature
has been reached.
*Results may vary by individual measurement and technique used. Average
clinical results: 10.7 seconds rectal, 16.3 seconds oral, 22.0 seconds
under the arm. Clinical results range from 7.8 to 35.2 seconds.
Read and record
the temperature and time for reference. The reading will automatically
be stored in the memory.
Push the on/off
button to turn the unit off. If you do not turn the unit off, it will
shut off automatically in approximately 10 minutes.
UNDERARM
(AXILLARY) USE:
Wipe underarm with
a dry towel.
Place probe tip
in armpit and bring arm down against the body (figure 3). The probe
should be pointing upward in the same direction as your body if possible.
The time required
for an accurate underarm temperature may be 20-30 seconds or longer
depending on placement of the probe and closure of the arm against the
body.
When peak temperature
is reached, the °F symbol will stop flashing, and the thermometer
will beep repeatedly. Please note: It is not necessary to hear the beep
to ensure the peak temperature has been reached. When the °F symbol
stops flashing and the display reads a consistent temperature, the peak
temperature has been reached.
Push the on/off
button to turn the unit off. If you do not turn the unit off, it will
shut off automatically in approximately 10 minutes.
RECTAL USE:
Commonly used for
babies, young children or when it is difficult to take an oral or underarm
temperature.
o After placing the probe cover on the thermometer, lubricate with a
water-soluble jelly or petroleum jelly.
Gently insert the
probe tip no more than 1/2 inch or 1.3 cm into the rectum. Do not force
the tip into the rectum if resistance is encountered.
Dispose of the
used probe cover and wash the thermometer as recommended.
The peak temperature
should be reached in approximately 10 seconds.
When peak temperature
is reached, the °F symbol will stop flashing, and the thermometer
will beep repeatedly.
Please note: It
is not necessary to hear the beep to ensure the peak temperature has
been reached. When
the °F symbol stops flashing and the display reads a consistent
temperature, the peak temperature
has been reached.
Read and record
the temperature and time for reference. The reading will automatically
be stored in the memory.
Push the on/off
button to turn the unit off. If you do not turn the unit off, it will
shut off automatically in approximately 10 minutes.
