6. Some Useful Information

How the Gentle Temp 720 Works

This unit measures the temperature at the surface of the forehead by sensing infrared emission of the skin at the measured point, and then calculates the oral-equivalent value using a unique algorithm based on actual body temperature survey data.

About Body Temperature

Body temperature refers to the stable temperature of the inner body (also known as core body temperature). While temperature measurements at the armpit or mouth provides surface temperature values, holding the thermometer steadily at the measurement point for approx. 10 minutes provides a temperature measurement more closely representing that of core body temperature. Since forehead temperature measurement involves no bodily support of the thermometer, the resulting measured temperature is typically lower than that of the armpit or mouth. However, since the forehead has blood vessels that are much less prone to vascular constriction (a natural function of body temperature adjustment), it is supposedly a better measurement area for determining core body temperature, even in a lower temperature environment. By contrast, temperature measured at the arm or leg, for example, is not a suitable gauge of core body temperature, since such body areas are more subject to vascular constriction. (Note that temperature measured at the forehead may still be influenced by other conditions, such as sweating, or wind from an air conditioner, etc. It is therefore advised to perform measurement in as stable an environment as possible.)

When measuring the temperature of an infant, note that infant body temperature is generally higher than adult body temperature and easily affected by external factors. For example, body temperature tends to increase after nursing or crying. Therefore, it is recommended to take measurements with the infant in calm and normal condition.

6. Some Useful Information

Knowing One’s Normal Temperature

In order to make a correct judgment of suspected fever conditions, it is important to know one’s normal temperature. Normal temperature varies with the individual and also changes depending on the time through a day. In addition, measured body temperatures may vary depending on the thermometer or the body part where you measure (see the graph “Variances in core body temperatures obtained at the forehead and mouth”). To find out one’s normal temperature, therefore, we recommend performing regular measurements under the following conditions:

- Measure with the same thermometer.

- Measure at the same area.

- Measure at the same time of day.

• Si le front est froid, le laisser se réchauffer avant de mesurer la température. La température mesurée peut être basse après utilisation d’une poche de glace, d’un bloc réfrigérant, ou immédiatement après être rentré de l’extérieur en hiver.

• Ne pas utiliser le thermomètre si le sujet est mouillé, après être allé à la piscine, après le bain ou s’il a transpiré après un exercice physique. La température de la peau peut en effet avoir baissé. Essuyer toute trace d’humidité et attendre 30 minutes que le corps s’habitue à la température ambiante avant de procéder à la mesure.

• Ne pas toucher la lentille de la sonde avec les doigts, et ne pas souffler dessus.

• Ne pas prendre de mesure lorsque le thermomètre est mouillé : la mesure pourrait être faussée.

• Vérifier l’icône sur l’affichage avant et après la mesure, de manière à effectuer la mesure dans le mode approprié.

• La mesure de la température d’un objet à faible pouvoir émissif, par exemple de l’or ou de l’aluminium, risque de fournir des résultats incorrects.

• La mesure de la température d’un objet à faible pouvoir émissif (par exemple du lait) en mode de mesure superficielle risque d’entraîner des mesure s légèr em ent i nfé rieu res .

• En indiquant la température au médecin, toujours signaler que la mesure a été effectuée sur le front.

Retrait de la bande isolante

Lors de la première utilisation du thermomètre, retirer la bande isolante du compartiment de la pile.

Le thermomètre est allumé et la température ambiante apparaît sur l’affichage après 1 minute.

Remarques :

• La température ambiante reste affichée même après que le thermomètre a été éteint.

• Placer le thermomètre sur une surface horizontale, à température ambiante (l’éloigner des rayons directs du soleil ou d’une source de conditionnement d’air, etc.).

Commutation entre °C et °F

Par défaut, le thermomètre est réglé en °C.

La température ambiante étant affichée, appuyer sur le bouton ST ART et le maintenir enfoncé.

Tout en le maintenant enfoncé, appuyer sur le bouton ON/MEM jusqu’à ce que °F s’affiche. Deux bip s sont ém is.

Remarques :

• Pour revenir en mode °C, reprendre à l’étape 1.

• Lors du passage entre les modes °C et °F, toutes les mesures enregistrées en mémoire sont supprimées.

3. Utilisation du thermomètre

3.1

Prise de la température

Mode de mesure de la température frontale

Ce mode affiche la valeur équivalant à la mesure de la température orale de la température frontale mesurée. To ujours s’assurer que la lentille de la sonde est propre et non endommagée, et que le front est propre et exempt de transpir ation, maqu illage, cicatrice, etc. Avant la mesure, veiller à ce que le patient n’ait pas pris de bain ni effectué des exercices physiques au cours des 30 dernières minutes, et soit resté dans un environnement constant pendant au moins 5 minutes. Il est recommandé de prendre la mesure à trois reprises. Si les trois mesures donnent des résultats différents, choisir la température la plus élevée.

1. Soulever l’embout de la lentille de la sonde pour le retirer.

2. Appuyer sur le bouton ON/MEM.

Tous les indicateurs apparaissent sur l’affichage pendant 1 seconde. L’affichage à l’extrême droite apparaît ensuite, accompagné de deux bips.
