It automatically shuts off after 10 minutes to prolong battery life and has a low battery indicator. It is safe for use on infants and pregnant women as it does not contain mercury, and is suitable for oral, axillary or rectal use.
Uses
The Rossmax Digital Thermometer is used to provide a quick, highly accurate reading over the human body temperature range through oral, axillary or rectal use.
Application
• Push the on/off button by the display window. The display will read for 2 seconds, and a beep sound will be heard.
• Releasing the on/off button, the last measured temperature will be displayed for approximately 2 seconds. Lo°C shows after the self-test temperature.
• Wipe or dip the probe with alcohol for disinfection.
• Position the probe in oral, rectal or axillary site.
• Once the degree sign °C (°F) on the LCD window has stopped flashing (usually within 10 to 40 seconds), a Beep signal will sound approximately 10 times, and the measured temperature is shown.
• The temperature reading will not change after the unit is removed from testing position.
• The unit will automatically turn off in 10 minutes.
• To prolong the life of the battery, press the on/off button to turn the unit off once the measurement is done.
For Oral Use:
• Place the probe well under the patient’s tongue
• The patient must keep his/her mouth closed for about 20 seconds
• Do not drink hot/cold fluids, exercise, smoke or perform other activities prior to a reading – these activities will raise or lower temperature readings when compared to your normal, average temperature
For Axillary Use:
• Tightly place probe in the patient’s armpit for about 30 seconds
• Please ensure the close contact between the probe and the armpit if the thermometer is used on a baby or child
For Rectal Use:
• This method is commonly used for young children when it is difficult to take an oral or axillary temperature.
• Always use the probe cover when taking rectal measurements
• Lubricate with a water-soluble gel
• Gently insert the probe tip no more than 1.5 – 2 cm into the rectum for about 10 seconds
• Do not force the tip into the rectum if resistance is encountered
• Disinfect the thermometer after use
