Measuring Body Temperature From The Ear - Silvercrest SFT 76 Gebrauchsanleitung Und Sicherheitshinweise

Measuring body temperature from the ear

There are people who present different measured values in their
left and right ear. To factor in temperature changes, always meas-
ure the same ear for the same person.
The integrated ear thermometer may only be used by children
under adult supervision. Measurement is usually only possible
from the age of 6 months and up. For infants under 6 months old,
the ear canal is often still too small for the temperature to be meas-
ured and this may lead to measurement results which are too low
being displayed.
Measurement may not be carried out on an ear suffering from an
inflammatory disease (i.e. inflamed with pus, secretions), after
potential injuries to the ear (i.e. eardrum damage) or during the
healing phase after a surgical operation. Please speak to your
physician if you find yourself in any of these situations.
Using the multi-function thermometer on different people who have
certain acute, infectious diseases may be unsuitable due to potential
bacterial contamination, even when the thermometer has been
cleaned and wiped with antiseptic. Contact your physician on a
case-by-case basis.
If you have been lying on your ear for an extended period of time,
your temperature will increase slightly. Wait for a few minutes or
measure the other ear.
Earwax can have an effect on the measurement. Therefore, clean
the ear before measuring if necessary.
To switch on the multi-function thermometer, press the ON / OFF/
MEASURE button for one second.
