• Temperature between right and left forehead could be
different. Always take the temperature from the same side of

• When measuring the temperature of a liquid (milk, water)
place the probe as close as possible to the liquid but ensure

your thermometer.

Principle Of Measurement

According to Clinical studies the temperature of the blood in a major artery will
reect an accurate body temperature
This Infared Forehead Thermometer is designed to measure the temperature of
the skin over the temporal artery, a major artery of the forehead
The NFS100 is easy and gentle to use it is non-invasive unlike other types of
thermometers for measuring rectal ,oral underarm and ear areas.
