1. Important notes

– This device is a sensitive electronic device. Please treat it carefully and do not expose it to any mechanical impacts.
– Do not expose the thermometer to direct sunlight.
– The device should be in the room in which the measurement is made for at least 30 minutes before use.
– The thermometer is NOT waterproof. For this reason, direct contact with water or other liquids should be avoided.
– Clean the measuring tip after each use with a soft cloth moistened with disinfectant.
– Check before each use that the lens is intact. If it is damaged, please contact the dealer or service address.
– The FT55 thermometer is only designed for the measuring area on the human body stated in the instructions for use.
– The thermometer was constructed for practical use but cannot replace a visit to the doctor.
– This device is not intended for commercial or clinical use.
– The device is intended only for the purpose given in these directions for use.
– Repairs must be carried out only by authorised service agents. Otherwise the guarantee becomes void.
– There are people in whom different measurement results are obtained in the left and right ear. In order to record tempe-
rature changes, always measure in the same ear in the same person.
– If you have been lying on one ear for some time, the temperature is slightly raised. Wait a little while or measure in the
other ear.
– As ear wax can affect the measurement, you should clean the ear before measuring if necessary.
– The ear thermometer may be used by children only under adult supervision. Measurement is usually possible over the
age of 6 months. In infants under 6 months, the ear passage is still very narrow so that the temperature of the eardrum
can often not be recorded and the measurement result displayed is too low.
– The measurement must not be taken in an ear affected by inflammatory diseases (e.g. discharging pus or secretion), af-
ter possible ear injuries (e.g. eardrum damage) or in the healing period after operative procedures. In all of these cases,
please talk to your doctor.
– This device meets the requirements of the EU Directive 93/42/EEC concerning medical devices, as well as those of the
Medizinproduktegesetz (German Medical Devices Act), the European Standard EN 12470-5: Clinical thermometers –
Part 5: Performance for infrared ear thermometers (with maximum device) and the European Standard EN60601-1-2,
