Some Helpful Guidelines For Best Results When Using the Vicks OneSecond Ear Thermometer,
• Practice until you receive consistent readings.
• Unit is calibrated with a Probe Cover. Accuracy can only be assured when Probe Covers are used.
• Call your doctor when your child has diarrhea, vomiti n g o r c h a n g e s in appetite, lethargy (sluggishness)or is unusually sleepy.
• It is important to know each individual’s “Normal” temperature when th e y a r e w e l l . This is the only way to accurately diagnose a fever. Take multiple readings when healthy to determine “Normal” temperature.
• A child’s normal temperature can be as high as 37.7 °C (99.9 °F). Re-measure with a standard digital thermometer for confirmation.

4. How the VICKS®Ear Thermometer Measures Ear Temperature
The VICKS Ear Thermometer measures infrared energy radiated from the eardrum and the surrounding tissue. This energy is collected through the sensing lens and converted to a temperature value. The measured reading obtained directly from the eardrum (Tympanic Membrane) can ensure the most accurate ear temperature. Measurements taken from the surrounding tissue of the ear canal generate lower readings and may result in misdiagnosis of a fever.
To avoid an inaccurate measurement:
• Use VICKS probe covers. The unit is calibrated to work with probe covers.
• Straighten the ear canal by gently pulling the middle of the ear back and up. Pull the ear straightback for newborns to age 1.
• Place the probe firmly into the ear canal. Press the Start button and keep the sensor in the ear until the thermometer beeps to indicate completion of the measurement.
The VICKS Ear Thermometer has been clinically tested to meet ASTM standard E-1065 as pertains to infrared thermometers. It is proven to be safe and accurate when used in accordance with this operating instruction manual.
