Introduction

The Fluke 67 MAX Infrared Thermometer (the Product) can determine the surface
temperature by measuring the amount of infrared energy radiated by the subject’s skin.

WWarning

Read all safety information before you use the Product.

It is important to understand there are inherent differences in accuracy between skin-surface
temperature measurements obtained with an IR thermometer versus subdermal/core
temperature measurements made with a contact thermometer.

ASTM laboratory accuracy requirements in the display range of 37 °C to 39 °C (98 °F to
102 °F) for IR thermometers is ±0.3 °C (±0.5 °F), whereas for mercury-in-glass and electronic
thermometers, the requirement per ASTM Standards E667-86 and E1112-86 is ±0.1 °C
(±0.2 °F).

Proper measurement technique is critical to keep sources of error to a minimum. Potential
error sources include measurement distance to subject, measurement location, anatomical

variations between subjects, ambient temperature conditions, failure to observe the
maximum-displayed reading, and more.

A correction between skin temperature at the forehead and sublingual (under the tongue)
temperature was determined by a clinical study of adult subjects. The Product has not been
tested on children and thus, is subject to error when used on children under 18 years of age.
Characteristics and procedures are available from the manufacturer upon request. The
Product defaults to body mode that incorporates this correction into the displayed
measurement to compensate for this effect.
