The No touch + touch thermometer has been clinically tested and proven to be safe and accurate
when used in accordance with its operating instruction manual.

Temperature taking hints
It is important to know each individual's normal temperature when they are well . This is the only way to
accurately diagnose a fever . Take multiple readings when healthy to determine normal temperature .
A child's normal temperature can be as high as 37 . 7 °C (99 . 9 °F) or as low as 36 .1 °C (97 .0 °F) . Be sure to note this
unit reads 0 .5 °C (0 .9 °F) lower than a rectal digital measurement .
An individual must be inside for 30 minutes before taking a measurement.
Note: The thermometer and individual should be in the same ambient temperature
for at least 10 minutes.
ALWAYS hold the thermometer and the forehead steady when taking a reading . DO NOT move the
thermometer until you hear the final beep . DO NOT take a measurement while or immediately after
nursing a baby .
Individuals should not drink, eat, or be physically active before/while taking the measurement .
Remove hats and wait 10 minutes before taking a measurement .
Before taking a measurement, remove dirt or hair from the forehead area . Wait 10 minutes after cleaning

the wrong location .
For individuals measuring their own temperature, it is recommended to use the "touch" option instead
of "no touch . "
In the following situations it is recommended that three temperatures in the same location be taken and
the highest one taken as the reading:
•
Newborn infants in the first 100 days .
•
Children under three years of age with a compromised immune system and for whom the presence
or absence of fever is critical .
