Intended Use:

A Temple Touch thermometer is a device which en­ables accurate body temperature measurements ob­tained by using a unique probe, which measures the
heat flow from the blood vessels to the skin and con­verts it to body temperature from the temple area in ap­proximately 6-8 seconds.

Safety Information:

• High, prolonged fever requires immediate medical attention, especially for young
children.

• Do not allow children to take their temperatures unattended.

• Read the enclosed instructions carefully to ensure accurate temperature readings.
Temperature readings are affected by many factors including exercise, drinking hot or
cold beverages prior to taking a reading as well as technique.

• WARNING: Keep batteries out of children’s reach. Swallowing a battery could be
harmful. Batteries should not be recharged or placed into extreme heat as they may
explode.

2. Wait 2 seconds.

3. Hold firmly to temple, wait for beep.

4. Read results.

5. Before re-measuring: wait at least 1
minute.

Measuring Guidelines:

1. Measurement body location is the temple, in proximity to the temporal artery,
between the end of the eyebrow and hairline.

2. Do not place the thermometer on scarred tissue compromised by skin disorder,
open sores or abrasions and patients in trauma.

3. Temperature readings are affected by many factors including exercise and drink­ing hot or cold beverages prior to taking a reading.

4. Consult your physician when using drug therapies that may raise the local skin
temperature in the forehead; this may lead to an incorrect reading.

5. Do not place the thermometer on skin exposed to direct sunlight, fireplace heat,
air conditioner flow and cold/warm compress therapies.

Wait at least one minute between consecutive measurements for

6.

the unit to readjust to room temperature.

7. If the thermometer has been stored at a cold temperature, allow the unit to warm
naturally to room temperature before using.

8. Performance may be degraded if operated or stored outside stated tempera­ture/humidity ranges.

Taking Temperature:

Use this thermometer on a clean dry forehead. Wipe away any
perspiration, move hair aside from the temporal area and apply
the probe to bare skin.

1. Press and release the Multi-Function button, all segments will
be displayed along with a single audible beep (Figure 1).
