Measuring Water And Room Temperature - GERATHERM duotemp GEF-100 Mode D'emploi

TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT -
FOREHEAD
In order to ensure accurate measurement, the
patient should first rest for 20 minutes in the
same room as the thermometer. Immediately
after exercise or a bath, the temperature may
GB be raised.
7 - GB
Always check that the
probe attachment is fixed
onto the thermometer.
Prior to measurement, the
forehead should be free of
perspiration, make-up, etc.
Press the ON button [ON].
Press MEM for 2 seconds,
it will switch to Forehead
Mode.
Place the probe tip with the
attachment on the patient's
forehead. The recommended
area is on the left-hand side
above the left eyebrow (or on
the opposite side if you choo-
se the right eyebrow). Press
the ON button (you will hear
a beep) and keep it pressed
down as you slide the thermo-
meter towards the left, moving
it for at least three seconds
over the temporal artery. Then
remove the thermometer from
the point of measurement.
Read the temperature
value displayed on the
LCD panel.
• The precise sensing system records
the heat emitted naturally through the
skin. If the thermometer is not moved
over the temporal artery, the tempera-
ture recorded may be lower.
• It is advisable to take the temperature 2 - 3
times and to record the highest value, since
the position of the temporal artery varies from
person to person.
• In some patients the forehead temperature
may differ as a result of environmental factors
and it is advisable to take and record your
forehead temperature when healthy.
• The measurement of forehead temperature is
an excellent point of reference for recognising
raised body temperature.
• If you are in any doubt about the temperature
measured, please measure it again in the ear
and, for the sake of accuracy, record the high-
est value.
MEASURING WATER AND ROOM
TEMPERATURE
• Measurement should be conducted in ear
mode only.
• To measure water temperature, keep the probe
at least 1cm (± 0.5 cm) above the surface of
the water. The greater the distance from
the surface of the water, the less accurate the
measured values will be.
