1. THE ADVANTAGES OF MEDEL MP7 QUICK INSTANT INFRARED
THERMOMETER

Multiple Use (Wide Range Measurement)

MEDEL MP7 QUICK offers a wide range measurement feature
ranging from 0°C to 100.0°C (32.0°F to 199.9°F); the product
can be used as an ear thermometer to measure body temperature,
but it also can be used to measure surface temperature of
following objects:

• Milk surface temperature in baby's bottle

• Surface temperature of baby's bath

• Ambient temperature

Measurement in 1 second

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

Accurate and reliable

Due to the unique probe assembly construction, the advanced
infrared sensor, and the complete calibration process this unit can
offer a very accurate and reliable ear temperature measurement.

• Special ergonomic design enables simple and easy use of the
thermometer.

• The MEDEL MP7 QUICK instant infrared thermometer can be
used without interference to daily lifestyle. A measurement can
be taken even while a child is sleeping.

Fever Alarm

10 short beeps alert the patient that he/she may have fever.

2. IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Never use the thermometer for purposes other than those it has
been intended for. Please follow the general safety precautions
when using on children.

• Always use the thermometer with a new undamaged probe cover
for each measurement to prevent infection.
Use only MEDEL original probe covers. Do not use broken or
dirty probe covers.

• Never immerse the MEDEL MP7 QUICK instant infrared thermo­meter into water or other liquids (not waterproof). For cleaning
and disinfecting please follow the instructions in the "CLEANING
AND STORAGE” section.

• Keep the instrument and the probe covers away from direct expo­sure to the sun and keep it in a dust-free, dry area at the tempe­rature between 10° - 40° (50°F - 104°F).

• Do not use the thermometer if there are signs of damage on the
measuring tip or on the instrument itself. If damaged, do not
attempt to repair the instrument! Please contact your nearest
MEDEL customer service bureau.

• Earwax in ear canal may cause a lower temperature reading.
Make sure subject's ear canal is clean to ensure an accurate
reading.

• The MEDEL MP7 QUICK instant infrared thermometer consists of
high-quality precision parts. Do not drop the instrument! Protect it
from severe impact and shock. Do not twist the instrument and
the measuring probe!

4. HOW THE MEDEL MP7 QUICK INSTANT INFRARED
THERMOMETER MEASURES TEMPERATURE

The MEDEL MP7 QUICK instant infrared 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) can ensure the most accurate
ear temperature. Measurements taken from the surrounding tissue
of the ear canal generate lower readings and may result in
misdiagnosis of a fever.

IMPORTANT:

• Use ever the probe cover

• Switch on the thermometer by pressing the O/I button

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

• Place the probe firmly into the ear canal, press the Start button
and keep the probe in the ear until the thermometer beeps to
identify the completion of the measurement.

NOTE

• In order to avoid cross-contamination, please reload a new
probe cover for each patient.

• Please check if the probe cover is fitted on firmly before use (fig.

6). If the probe cover is broken, discard the probe cover and
reload a new one immediately.

7. DIRECTIONS FOR USE

IMPORTANT: Prior to ever y measurement, fit a new undamaged
probe cover on the measuring probe. Failure to do so or use of
a dirty, damaged or unfitted probe cover may result in incorrect
temperature measurement.

1. Press the O/I button. The LCD is activated
to show all segments for 2 seconds.

2. The last measurement reading will be
shown on the display automatically
for two seconds with the „M“ icon.

3. When the °C or °F icon is flashing,
a beep sound is heard and the thermometer
is ready for the measurement.

4. Straighten the ear
canal by pulling the
ear up and back to
give a clear view of
the eardrum (Pic.8,9).

• For children under
1 year:

- Pull the ear
straight back

• Children aged
1 year to adult:

- Pull the ear up and
back (Pic.7).

5. While tugging the ear,
insert the probe snugly
into the ear canal and
press the "START” but­ton. Release it, when
you hear a beep
sound. This is the
reminding signal that comfirms the end of measurement.

6. Remove the thermometer from the ear canal. The LCD displays

the measured temperature.

IMPORTANT: 10 short beeps will sound when the temperature is

higher than 37.5°C in order to alert the patient that he/she may
have fever.

7. Replace the probe cover after each measurement. To do this,
please follow the instruction in point 6 „HOW TO RELOAD A
NEW AND CLEAN PROBE COVER?“.

8. In order to assure the accurate readings, please wait at least 30
seconds after 3-5 continuous measurements.

ADVICES FOR A CORRECT MEASUREMENT

• For an infant, it is best to have the child laying flat with his head

sideways so the ear is facing upwards. For an older child or
adult, it is best to stand behind and slightly to the side of the
patient.

• Always take the temperature in the same ear, since the temperatu-

re readings may be different from the right ear and left ear.

• Please wait for a few minutes to take the ear temperature after

sleeping.

• Take three temperatures in the same ear and consider the highest

one taken as the reading.

8. CHANGING FROM FAHRENHEIT TO CELSIUS AND VICE-VERSA

The MEDEL MP7 QUICK instant infrared thermometer can display
temperature measurements in either Fahrenheit or Celsius. To
switch the display between °C and °F, simply turn OFF the unit ,
press and hold the Start button for 5 seconds. When you stop
pressing the Start button after 5 seconds, the current measurement
scale (°C or °F icon) will be flashed on the display. Toggle the
measurement scale between °C and °F by pressing the start
button again. When the measurement scale has been chosen,
wait for 5 seconds and the unit will enter the ready for measuring
mode automatically.

probe

(Pic.10)

. Ensure that no
liquid enters the interior of the
thermometer. Never use abrasive
cleaning agents, thinners or
benzene for cleaning and never
immerse the instrument in water or
other cleaning liquids. Take care
not to scratch the surface of the
LCD.
Remove the battery from the
instrument if it is not required for
