Always Take The Temperature In The Same Location, Since - maniquick MQPerfect MQ160 Gebrauchsanleitung

• Don't take a measurement while or immediately after nursing a
baby.
• Don't use the thermometer in high humidity environments.
• Patients should not drink, eat, or exercise before/while taking the
measurement.
• Don't move the measurement device from the measuring area
before hearing the termination beep.
• Use an alcohol swab to carefully clean the probe and wait for 15
minutes before taking a measurement on another patient.
• 10 short beeps and a red LCD backlight alert the patient that he/she
may have a temperature equal to or higher than 37.5 °C.
•

Always take the temperature in the same location, since

temperature readings may vary according to location.
• Doctors recommend rectal measurement for newborn infants within
the first 6 months, as all other measuring methods might lead to
ambiguous results. If using a non contact thermometer on those
infants, we recommend to always verify the readings with a rectal
measurement.
In the following situations it is recommended that three temperatures are
taken and the highest one taken as the reading:
1. Children under three years of age with a compromised immune
system and for whom the presence or absence of fever is critical.
2. When the user is learning how to use the thermometer for the first
time until he/she has familiarized himself/herself with the instrument
and obtains consistent readings.
3. If the measurement is surprisingly low.
Readings from different measuring sites should not be compared
as the normal body temperature varies by measuring site and time
of day, being highest in the evening and lowest about one hour before
waking up.
Normal body temperature ranges:
− Axillar: 34.7 - 37.7 °C / 94.5 - 99.1 °F
− Oral: 35.5 - 37.5 °C / 95.9 - 99.5 °F
− Rectal: 36.6 - 38.0 °C / 97.9 - 100.4 °F
− MqPerfect Thermometer: 35.4 °C - 37.4 °C / 95.7 - 99.3 °F
