1. The Advantages of this Thermometer

Multiple Use (Wide Range Measurement)

The IR 1DE1 offers a wide measurement range feature from 0 - 100.0 °C

(32.0 - 212.0 °F); meaning the unit can be used as an ear thermometer to

measure body temperature, but it can also be used to measure surface

temperature of following objects:

• Milk surface temperature in baby's bottle.

• Surface temperature of baby's bath.

• Ambient temperature.

Probe Cover Free

Since a probe cover is not required with this thermometer it makes

using the IR 1DE1 more user-friendly and more cost-effective.

Measurement in 1 second

The innovative infrared technology allows measurement of ear

temperature in only 1 second.

Accurate and reliable

The unique probe assembly construction, incorporating an advanced

infrared sensor ensure that each measurement is accurate and reliable.

Gentle and Easy to Use

• The ergonomic design enables simple and easy use of the ther-

mometer.

• This thermometer can be used even on a sleeping child, thereby

causing no interruption.

• This thermometer is fast and therefore pleasant to use for children.

Auto-Display Memory

The last reading is automatically displayed for 2 seconds when the

unit is switched ON.

Multiple Reading Recalls

Users will be able to recall the last 12 readings when entering the

recall mode, enabling efficient tracking of temperature variations.

Safe and Hygienic

• No risk of broken glass or mercury ingestion.

• Completely safe for use on children.

• Cleaning of the probe tip can be done with an alcohol-moistened

cotton tissue, making the IR 1DE1 completely hygienic for use by

the whole family.

High Temperature Indication

10 short beeps and a red LCD backlight alert the patient that he/she

may have a temperature above 37.5 °C.

2. Important Safety Instructions

• Never use the thermometer for purposes other than those it has

been intened for. Please follow the general safety precautions

when using on children.

•Never immerse this thermometer into water or other

liquids (not waterproof). For cleaning please follow the

4. How this Thermometer Measures Ear Temperature

This thermometer measures infrared energy radiated from the eardrum

and the surrounding tissue. This energy is collected through the 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:

• Switch on the thermometer by pressing the O/I button.

• After one beep is heard (and the temperature scale icon is flas-

hing), straighten the ear canal by gently pulling the middle of the

ear back and up.

• Place the probe firmly into the ear canal, press the START button

and keep the probe in the ear until the thermometer beeps to

identify the completion of the measurement.

This thermometer has been clinically tested and proven to be

safe and accurate when used in accordance with its operating

instruction manual.

1. Press the O/I button. The LCD is activated

to show all segments for 2 seconds.

2. The last measurement reading will be

shown on the display automatically for

2 seconds with the «M» icon.

3. When the °C or °F icon is flashing, a beep

sound is heard and the thermometer is

ready for measurement.

4. Straighten the ear canal by pulling the ear

up and back to give a clear view of the

eardrum.

• For children under 1 year:

Pull the ear straight back.

• Children above 1 year and adults:

Pull the ear up and back.

5. While gently pulling the ear, insert the probe

snugly into the ear canal and press the

START button. Release the button and wait

for the beep sound. This is the indication that

confirms the end of measurement.

6. Remove the thermometer from the ear canal.

The LCD displays the measured temperature.

NOTE:

• 10 short beeps will sound and a red LCD backlight will illuminate

when the temperature is higher than 37.5 °C (99.5 °F) in order to

alert the patient that he/she may have a temperature above 37.5 °C.

•In order to assure the accurate readings, plase wait at least

30 seconds after 3-5 continuous measurements.

• Accumulation of ear wax on the probe tip can result in less accurate

temperature readings or cross infection between users. Therefore,

it is essential that a clean probe tip is used before each

measurement. Please follow the instructions in the «Cleaning and

Storage» section for cleaning.

•After cleaning the probe tip with alcohol, it is necessary to

wait 5 minutes before taking the next measurement, in order to

allow the thermometer to reach its operating reference temperature.

• For an infant, it is best to have the child laying flat with his head

sideways so the ear is facing upwards. For an older child or adult,

it is best to stand behind and slightly to the side of the patient.

• Always take the temperature in the same ear, since the tempera-

ture readings may be different from the right ear and left ear.

• Wait for a few minutes to take the ear temperature after sleeping.

• In the following situations it is recommended that 3 measurements

are done in the same ear and the highest one is taken as the reading:

1) New born infants in the first 100 days.

2) Children under three years of age with a compromised immune

system and for whom the presence or absence of fever is critical.

3) When the user is learning how to use the IR thermometer for the

first time until he/she has familiarized himself/herself with the

instrument and obtains consistent readings.

7. Changing from Fahrenheit to Celsius and vice-versa

The thermometer can display temperature measurements in either Fah-

renheit or Celsius. To switch the display between °C and °F, simply turn

OFF the unit, press and hold the START button for 5 seconds until «-- -»

and the flashing °C or °F icon is shown on the LCD. Switch the measure-

ment scale between °C and °F by pressing the START button again. When

the measurement scale has been chosen, wait for 5 seconds and the unit

will enter the ready for measuring mode automatically.
