OVERVIEW

Intended Use

This Non-Contact Infrared Body Thermometer is designed to be used for intermittent
measurements and monitoring of the human body temperature by consumers in the
home setting and primary care setting as a screening tool.

Description of Non-Contact Infrared Body Thermometer

• Device principle and introduction

The non-contact thermometer is a hand-held, reusable, battery operated device,

which can measure human body temperature on the forehead.

The operation principle is based on Infrared Sensor technology. The IR sensor

can output different signals when measuring different object temperature or in
different ambient temperature, and the ASIC can turn the signal from IR Sensor to
a digital value and display it on the LCD.
