INTRODUCTION
Congratulations, you now own the ProScanTM Non-Contact
Infrared Thermometer, our latest infrared technology.
This innovative technology allows temporal artery (T.A.) temperature to be taken at a distance of about 3 cm - 5 cm away
from the forehead. It has been demonstrated that this method
of T.A. temperature reading is more precise than the tympanic
thermometry and better tolerated than rectal thermometry
This means accurate, reliable and safe readings in an instant.
As with any thermometer, it is essential to use the ProScan
Non-Contact properly to ensure accurate temperatures.
Please read these instructions carefully before using
this product and keep the instructions and your
ProScanTM thermometer in a safe place.

ADVANTAGES OF TEMPORAL ARTERY (T.A.)
TEMPERATURE
The ProScanTM Non-Contact thermometer has been designed
to produce an instant forehead temperature reading without
any contact with the temporal artery. As this artery is quite
close to the surface of the forehead skin, it allows precise
reading of temperature. This artery is linked to the heart by
the carotid artery which is directly linked to the aorta. It forms
part of the main trunk of arterial system. The efciency, speed
and comfort of taking a temperature from this area make it
ideal compared to other temperature reading methods.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• This device may be used for professional purposes or for
personal home use. It must only be used for the purposes
described in this instruction manual.
• This device must only be used in an ambient temperature range
of between 10°C and 40°C. Do not expose this thermometer
to extreme temperature conditions of > 50°C or < -20°C.
• This device must always be kept in a clean, dry place.
• Do not drop the thermometer. Protect it from severe impact
and shock.
• Do not expose the thermometer to sunlight or to water.
• Do not use this device in relative humidity higher than 85%.
• The protective glass over the lens is the most fragile part of
the thermometer. Do not touch the glass with your ngers.
• Clean the glass with a cotton swab lightly moistened with
95% alcohol. Never use abrasive cleaning agents.
• Never use rechargeable batteries.
• Remove the batteries when thermometer is not used for
an extended period of time to conserve battery life.
• Infrared thermometers should not be used on children under
2 years of age. For older children infrared thermometers
should not be used to manage important health concerns.
• Use of this thermometer is not intended as a substitute for
consultation with your healthcare professional.
• Infrared thermometers should not be used shortly
after exercise, bathing or coming indoors.
• Do not disassemble to thermometer. Do not attempt to repair
this device yourself. Should a problem occur, please contact
A.M.G. Medical Customer Service.
• This thermometer should only be used under the supervision
of an adult.
• Keep batteries out of reach of children.

IMPORTANT NOTES
• This thermometer is calibrated and ready to use.
• The reliability of the reading cannot be guaranteed if the
body temperature is measured over any part of the body
that is not the forehead temporal region.
• Body temperature increases by 0.5°C between 6:00 AM
and 3:00 PM.
• Women have a temperature that is higher, on average, by
around 0.2°C. Their temperature also varies in accordance
with their ovarian cycle. It rises by 0.5°C in the second half
of the cycle and at the early stages of pregnancy.
• When sitting, body temperature is lower by about 0.3°C
to 0.4°C then when standing.

HOW TO MEASURE TEMPERATURE
Note: If the thermometer has been stored at a very low or very high temperature,
allow the unit to adjust to room temperature for at least 15 minutes before using
the device. Wait at least 5 seconds between consecutive readings.
1. Before taking temperature readings, make sure to avoid
any drafts like air conditioning, etc.
2. Push back hair and wipe away any perspiration
from the forehead temporal region.
3. Press the thermometer’s measure key to turn of the device.
4. Aim at the forehead, over the
right temporal region, from a
distance of about 3 cm - 5 cm,
press the thermometer’s measure
key and the temperature will
be instantly displayed.
If the temperature reading is 38°C (100.4°F) or higher,
you will hear 5 beeps and the LCD backlight colour will
turn red which means that you have a high fever.
If the temperature reading is between 37.4°C - 37.9°C
(99.3°F - 100.2°F), you will hear 1 beep and the LCD
backlight colour will turn orange which means that you
have a low fever.
Otherwise, you will hear 1 beep and the LCD backlight
colour will display a green light which means no fever.
Note: If the audio alerts threshold default setting is changed, only the audio alerts
will be pertinent, not the colour alerts.
5. Allow a 3 - 5 second intervals between two readings.
6. The device will automatically shut-off after 30 seconds.
* It is not recommended to drink, eat, smoke, shower or be physically active
before/while taking a temperature reading. Please wait for at least 15 minutes
prior to taking a measurement following any of the above listed items.

Instructions
1. Turn the unit off for 15 - 60
seconds and then turn on
again.
2. Retake temperature
using proper technique
(3 cm - 5 cm (1.2” - 2”))
and proper settings (Body,
Surface, Air Mode).
3. Ensure normal room
temperature: 10°C - 40°C
(50°F - 104°F).
4. Ensure there is no hair or
perspiration hampering the
reading if you are taking
body temperature.
5. Ensure there are no air
drafts or dramatic change
in ambient temperature
hampering the reading.
6. If the thermometer still
reads ‟ Lo ”, this indicates
that the patient has a low
body temperature. It could
also mean that surface or
air temperature is low.
If it reads ‟ Hi ”, this
indicates that the patient
has a high body
temperature. It could also
mean that surface or air
temperature is high.
