Disposable Hygiene caps
Use a clean disposable Hygiene cap with each measurement:
1. To ensure hygienic use
2. To protect your child from cross-contamination
3. To ensure earwax residues do not impact accuracy of the
reading.

Earwax and dirt on the tip of the disposable Hygiene cap, even
in microscopic layers, can create an obstacle between the
sensor and the infrared heat emitted by the ear and impact
the accuracy of the measurement.
Temperature-taking hints
• Replace the disposable Hygiene cap with every use to to
maintain accuracy, hygiene and to prevent cross-
contamination.
• A measurement taken in the right ear may differ from the
measurement taken in the left ear. Therefore, always take
the temperature in the same ear.
• The ear must be free from obstructions or excess earwax
build-up to take an accurate reading.
• External factors may influence ear temperatures, including
when an individual has:
– been lying on one ear or the other
– had their ears covered
– been exposed to very hot or very cold temperatures, or
– been recently swimming or bathing.
In these cases, remove the individual from the situation
and wait 20 minutes prior to taking a temperature.
• If ear drops or other ear medications have been placed in
the ear canal of one ear, take the temperature in the
untreated ear.
