Temperature elevation may signal a serious illness, especially in neonates and infants,
or in adults who are old, frail, or have a weakened immune system. Please seek professional
advice immediately when a temperature elevation occurs on persons that are:
• Neonates and infants under 3 months (Consult your physician
immediately if the temperature exceeds 99.4 °F [37.4 °C])
• Individuals over 60 years of age (Fever may be blunted or absent in older individuals)
• Individuals having diabetes mellitus or a weakened immune system (e.g., HIV positive,
cancer chemotherapy, chronic immunosuppressant treatment, splenectomy)
• Individuals who are bedridden (e.g., nursing home patient, stroke, chronic illness,
paraplegia, quadriplegia, surgical recovery)
• A transplant recipient (e.g., liver, heart, lung, kidney)
This thermometer is not intended for newborn pre-term babies or small-for-gestational age
newborn babies (birth to 4 weeks of age). Pre-term is dened as babies born before 37 weeks
of gestation. Small-for-gestational-age is dened as a baby, born at 37 weeks or later, with a
weight below the 10th percentile for newborn babies of the same gestational age.
This thermometer is not intended to interpret hypothermic temperatures. If the device
displays a temperature of 97.5 °F (36.4 °C) or less with an LED backlight color of green or
white, and the individual is exhibiting atypical symptoms or behaviors, contact your
physician or health care professional.
DO NOT allow children to take their temperature unattended.
Please consult your physician if you see symptoms such as unexplained irritability, vomiting,
diarrhea, dehydration, changes in appetite or activity, seizure, muscle pain, shivering, sti
neck, pain when urinating, etc., even in the absence of fever.
Even in the absence of fever, those who exhibit a normal temperature may still need to receive
medical attention. People who are on antibiotics, analgesics, or antipyretics should not be
assessed solely on temperature readings to determine the severity of their illness.
DO NOT modify this equipment without the authorization of the manufacturer.
