1.1 Introduction Thank you for choosing the NantLife Smart Ear Thermometer. This innovative medical device relies on advanced infrared (IR) technology to measure temperature instantly. Your new digital thermometer uses the infrared heat generated by the eardrum and its surrounding tissue. The thermometer then converts it into a temperature value displayed on the OLED screen. Note: The thermometer does not emit any infrared signal.
1.2 Intended Use • • • NantLife Smart Ear Thermometer is intended for home monitoring of body temperature. The NantLife Smart Ear Thermometer is not intended to be a diagnostic device. Never change your medication on the basis of results you have obtained. The evaluation of the measurements and the treatment based on them may only be carried out by the treating physician. This device is intended for use in measuring body temperature in the adult and pediatric population.
1.3.1 Warnings Read all of the information in the instruction manual and any other instruction in the box before operating the thermometer. If you experience discomfort during a measurement- Remove the probe from your ear canal and stop using the device. Please contact NantLife Customer Service. In addition, please note: • Proper technique is crucial to getting accurate temperature readings. Please read this manual carefully before using the device.
• • • • • • • • • • • • DO NOT damage the batteries. If battery fluid gets in your eyes, immediately rinse with plenty of clean water and contact a physician immediately. Keep away from source of fire and/or heat. Store the device in a clean, safe location. DO NOT disassemble the ear thermometer. DO NOT use the ear thermometer in a MRI or CT environment. DO NOT use the ear thermometer in the presence of flammable anesthetics. Explosion hazard: Do not use the ear thermometer in an explosive atmosphere.
1.3.2 Cautions • • • • • • • • 8 Autoclaving, ethylene oxide sterilizing, or immersing the ear thermometer in liquid may cause inaccurate measurements. The accuracy cannot be ensured for a person who has deformity in the ear. The thermometer probe cannot be inserted properly into the ear canal. NantLife suggests the use of its Contactless Forehead Thermometer in that case. Blood or drainage in the ear may affect accuracy. Do not use an ear if ear drops or medication have been placed.
1.4 Before taking a measurement Body temperature can vary from one individual to the next. It also varies by location on the body and time of the day. Normal ranges for different sites: Normal Temperature Range 35.5°C – 37.5°C 95.9°F – 99.5°F Axillary (underarm) 34.7°C – 37.3°C 94.5°F – 99.1°F Rectal 36.6°C – 38.0°C 97.9°F – 100.4°F Ear 35.8°C – 38.0°C 96.4°F – 100.4°F Chamberlain, J.M. Terndrup, T.E.
Your healthcare providers want to get an accurate picture of your body temperature and chart what happens over time. Body temperature is a vital indicator of one’s health. A number of diseases are accompanied by characteristic changes in body temperature. Likewise, the course of certain diseases can be monitored by measuring body temperature. The efficiency of many treatments can be evaluated by monitoring body temperature and changes therein.
