Forehead Measurement - Hartmann Thermoval Duo Scan Mode D'emploi

The thermometer symbol will appear three seconds after the measurement, and the device is
ready for the next measurement.
Important information for ear measurement:
Please make sure that the sensor is directed straight at the eardrum and not at the ear canal.
If earwax accumulates on the measuring sensor, this may lead to inaccuracies of the temperature
measurement or may even cause an infection between various users. For this reason, it is
imperative that the measuring sensor is cleaned for every measurement. For notes on cleaning,
please read the instructions in Chapter 8 "Cleaning and maintenance of the device".
After cleaning the measuring sensor with alcohol-impregnated swabs, please wait for 15 minutes
until carrying out the next measurement to permit the thermometer to reach the necessary
operating temperature.
The temperature values may vary from ear to ear. For this reason, please always use the same ear
for measuring the temperature.
No disposable protective caps are required for the measuring sensor. Please do not use disposable
protective caps as they may distort the measuring result.
If you have rested on an ear, the temperature in this ear may be elevated shortly after.
The measurement must not be carried out in an ear which is suffering from inflammatory diseases
as well as after ear injuries (such as eardrum injury) or during the healing phase after a surgical
procedure. If medication has been applied to an ear, this ear must not be used for measurement
either. In these cases, please consult your attending doctor.

7.2 Forehead measurement

The thermometer measures the infrared radiation emitted by the skin in the forehead and temple
area and the surrounding tissue. The radiation is picked up by the sensor and converted into
temperature values. The most precise values are obtained when you scan the entire area starting
from the middle of the forehead to the temple.
If the cap for forehead measurement has not been placed, please place it by simply pressing it on
again.
Position the surface of the forehead adapter about 1 cm over the middle of
the eyebrows. The thermometer has to have direct skin contact during the
measuring process.
