TEMP TRAQ TT-100, TT-300, TT-200 User Manual

Introduction to TempTraq

Welcome to TempTraq®, continuous temperature monitoring.

Intended Use

TempTraq® is a Bluetooth® continuous temperature monitor in the form of a one-time use,
disposable patch. The patch senses, records and transmits body temperature via Bluetooth®
Version 4.0. Temperature information from the patch is monitored using a smart device
(Apple® or Android™ with Bluetooth® Version 4.0 capability running the TempTraq app).
TempTraq measures under-the-arm “axillary” temperature and this is converted to an oral
temperature which is displayed in the TempTraq app.

Indications for Use

The wireless thermometers are battery-operated electronic devices with intended use of
measuring human body temperature precisely. These devices are single-use and intended
for armpit temperature measurement for persons of all ages.

For Best Results

• Clean and dry skin to remove deodorants or lotions, which can reduce adhesion of the
patch.

• The sensor - marked “underarm” - must be positioned high and in the center of the
armpit. Hold the arm at a 45° angle when applying the patch so that the center of the
armpit is easy to identify.

• Wait 8 minutes for the patch to warm up to body temperature.

• Maintain the placement of your arm along the side of your body to ensure an accurate
temperature reading. Temperature measurements can be aected by cold or hot
ambient temperatures if the arm is not at the side.

• Communication from the patch to the smart device is possible up to a distance of 40
feet (12 meters) but may be aected by objects between the patch and smart device.

• Individuals with high BMI may inadvertently cover the patch antenna with their arm
reducing the read range of the patch.

• For improved reception of temperature data from the patch, keep the phone awake,
and try moving it closer to the patch.

Troubleshooting Guide

Problem Troubleshooting Hints

Patch ID is not visible
in the Select Patch
list when adding the
patch

• Patch may not be activated. Press button on patch to activate.

• TempTraq only requires a single press of the “ON” switch to start operation.
Avoid repeated pressing of the “ON” switch which may damage the circuit
and cause TempTraq to fail.

App is showing "No
temperature data
received in last 60
minutes...”

• Move the smart device running the TempTraq app closer to the patch. The
patch can send temperature data up to 40 feet (12 meters). This distance is
reduced by walls and objects between the patch and the smart device.

• For improved reception of temperature data from the patch, keep the phone
awake, and try moving it closer to the patch.

Temperatures from
the patch are lower
than expected

• Check to make sure that the patch is properly positioned with the sensor

- marked “underarm” - correctly positioned in the armpit as shown in the
instructions for use.

• Lower than expected temperature readings can also be caused by exposure
to cold ambient temperatures, for example, when the arm is raised.

• Confirm the patch is correctly reading temperature by measuring oral
temperature with a digital thermometer.

Temperatures from
the patch are higher
than expected.

• Confirm the patch is correctly reading temperature by measuring oral
temperature with a digital thermometer.

No audible alert is
received from the
smart device when
there is an alert.

• Check to ensure that the phone volume is set to an audible level and is not set
to mute.

• Check settings for the app to ensure that notifications are enabled and sound
is enabled for notifications.

• Note that the audible alert only sounds for a short period. The visual
notification remains active in the app until canceled by the user.

No alert is received
when temperature
measured by the
patch exceeds the
user set alert level

• Check to make sure that the smart device running the app is in range of the
patch. A temperature alert will not be generated if the smart device is not
receiving data from the patch.

• Check to ensure that the app is running. No alerts will be generated if the app
is not running.

App displays "Patch
Error"

• Patch is not functioning correctly and needs to be replaced. Contact
Customer Care at 1 [phone] for return instructions.

App displays “Rapid
temperature drop
detected...”

• Can be caused by the arm being raised, exposing the patch to ambient
temperatures. For best results the arm should be down and relaxed at the
side. Dismiss this alert, or Disable to permanently silence this alert for this
patch.

TempTraq Temperature Measurement

TempTraq measures under-the-arm “axillary” temperature and this is converted to an oral
temperature which is displayed in the TempTraq app.

Fever Guidance

The TempTraq app uses color coding to aid the user:

indicates a temperature is in the normal range.

indicates a possible fever of 100.4°F (38.0°C) or higher.

indicates a temperature equal to or higher than the alert
temperature that you selected.

GREEN

ORANGE

RED

Important: Read instructions carefully before use.

High, prolonged fever requires medical attention.
If symptoms persist, contact your healthcare provider.

Warnings and Precautions

When using this product always follow these basic safety precautions to ensure that the
patch accurately reads temperature and to avoid skin irritation. Failure to follow these
precautions could result in inaccurate temperature readings resulting in delay in treatment,
or could result in skin irritation and mild discomfort.

DO NOT use the patch for any other purpose besides measuring human body
temperature.

DO NOT place the patch over wounds, sores or abrasions.

DO NOT excessively bend or twist the TempTraq patch.

DO NOT immerse the patch in water. Patch may be removed for a bath or shower

and then re-applied afterwards.

Key for obtaining accurate temperature measurements

5. Apply Patch

Apply the patch directly under the arm on either
side of the body with the sensor - the corner marked
“underarm” – high and in the center of the armpit
( ) . Hold the arm at a 45 degree angle away from
the side when applying the patch so that the center of
the armpit is easy to identify. If applied correctly the
TempTraq logo will be in an upright position. Patch
may be removed and re-applied if needed to position
the patch correctly.

Key for obtaining accurate temperature measurements

DO NOT use the patch if it has been damaged or immersed in water.

DO NOT attempt to take apart the patch; there are no user serviceable parts.

DO NOT wear TempTraq during an MRI scan. TempTraq has not been evaluated for

safety and compatibility in the MR environment. It has not been tested for heating,
migration, or image artifact in the MR environment. The safety of TempTraq in the
MR environment is unknown. Scanning a patient who has this device may result in
patient injury.

DO NOT wear TempTraq during an X-ray scan. Wearing a TempTraq patch during
an X-ray scan may block visualization in the application area.

Patch adhesive may irritate sensitive skin or cause allergic reactions. Contact your doctor if
irritation or allergic reactions persist.
