INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the 3-Way Instant Thermometer.
The 3-Way Instant Thermometer is based on the new patented
R.A.T.E.™ (Rapid, Active, Temperature, Establishment)
technology. R.A.T.E.™ technology enables accurate temperature
measurement in 4-6 seconds typically in the oral, rectal,
or under arm modes when ambient temperature is between
50°F and 93.2°F (10°C and 34°C).

How does it work?

R.A.T.E.™ measures heat flow from blood vessels to the
skin, converting it instantly to a readable body temperature.
It is clinically proven accurate. The 3-Way Instant Thermometer
can easily and safely be used by all ages. There is no fear
of broken glass or mercury poisoning that can occur
with glass thermometers.

Temperature 3-Ways?

The three traditional ways to take a temperature; oral, underarm
and rectal are now easier, safer, and faster by using the 3-Way
Instant Thermometer. In comparison, glass thermometers can
take as long as 3 minutes to achieve a reading and can break
which could cause mercury poisoning. Digital thermometers
can range from 1 to 2 minutes. Too long to wait when a child
is screaming. You want to take a quick temperature...with the
speed nearly as quick as an ear thermometer and with the
accuracy of the glass thermometer. That is the Omron 3-Way
Instant Thermometer.
