Manual Mabis Hsopi-Therm Thermometer

Manual

Thank you for purchasing a MABIS Digital Thermometer. Please read the

following instructions to achieve the most accurate temperatures and safe

operation. With proper care and use, your thermometer will provide you with

years of reliable readings.

OTE:

F - indicates F

ahrenheit mode

C - indicates Celsius mode

What is a

“Normal”Temperature?

Although the generally accepted “normal” temperature reading is 98.6°F/37.0°C,

temperature readings can vary from 97.0°F/36.1°C to 99.0°F/37.2°C and still

may be considered “normal”. Variations in temperature can be attributed to

activities such as e

xercise, smoking, eating and drinking. Even time of day may

influence your temperature. For example, your temperature is lower in the morn-

ing than in the after

noon. Other variations may be due to the location of the

temperature reading. While the oral temperature follows the guidelines previous-

ly described, a rectal temperature is generally 1.0°F/0.5°C higher. Conversely,

an axillar

y (under the arm) temperature will be 1.0°F/0.5°C lower.

Cleaning Instructions

Before and after each use, clean the thermometer with a soft cloth and iso-

propyl alcohol diluted with water, or wash with COLD soapy water. An intact unit

can be submersed in water or alcohol. However, do not soak for an extended

period of time.

1. This unit must never be sterilized by boiling, gas or steam autoclaves.

2. The use of any other solution or cleaning method beyond the above men-

tioned may result in reliability problems with the thermometer and void your war-

ranty.

How to Take Your Temperature

1. Clean and disinfect the thermometer according to the instructions provided.

2. Apply a disposable probe cover to the clean, dry thermometer.

3. Press the POWER button (the unit will beep) to activate the thermometer.

This is the LCD display test, which insures all of the parts of

the displa

y are functioning properly. Within approximately 3 sec-

onds, the last reading will appear with the ‘M’ symbol in the

lower right corner of the display, indicating memory.

This display shows the last temperature reading. When ‘M’ dis-

appears and

‘L°F’ or ‘L°C’ displays, the POWER button can be

pressed to change between Fahrenheit (°F) and Celsius (°C)

mode. Select the preferred measuring mode.

Once the designated mode symbol begins to flash, the ther-

mometer is ready to tak

e a reading.

Ten beeps will sound when the measurement is complete. Press the POWER

button to turn the unit off. The unit will automatically shut off after approximately

ten minutes.

Taking a Rectal Temperature

N

O

TE:

Rectal temper

atures are an appropr

iate and reliable method for infants

and small children. Otherwise, this method should only be used when it is

impossible or impractical to take an oral or axillary temperature.

1. Apply the pre-lubricated disposable probe cover. Apply a water-soluble

lubricant if using a probe cover that is not pre-lubricated.

2. Gently insert the probe a MAXIMUM of 1/2” into the rectum.

3.

When the peak temper

ature has been reached, the

°

F or

°

C will stop flashing

and the thermometer will sound ten quick beeps.

4. To turn the unit off, press the POWER button. The unit will automatically

po

w

er down after approximately ten minutes.

NOTE: Rectal temperatures are generally 1.0°F/ 0.5°C higher than oral read-

ings. Approximate measuring time: 1 minute.

General Care

1. The thermometer should only be used under the supervision of an adult.

2.

Do not walk, run or talk during temperature taking.

3. Clean the thermometer before and after each use.

4. Store the unit in the protective case when not in use.

5. Do not bite the probe.

6. Do not store the unit where it will be exposed to direct sunlight, dust or

humidity

.

Avoid extreme temperatures.

7.

Dropping or subjecting y

our ther

mometer to strong shoc

ks should be

avoided.

8. Do not attempt to disassemble the unit, except to replace the battery.

9. If ERR displays and measurement not attainable, the unit must be replaced.
