If, however, you get a result that is outside the listed accuracy specification, you should contact the manufacturer. Take the temperature of the same person using the Non-Contact Body Infrared Thermometer keeping the 5 cm to 15 cm (2 in to 5.9 in) distance between the thermometer and the forehead. Full Guide & Tips: How to Use An Infrared Thermometer. In order to check the accuracy of an IR thermometer out in the field, a Thermometer Comparator and high-accuracy, calibrated ‘master’ thermometer such as a Reference Thermometer … Click to find out how simple it is to calibrate the Visiofocus Pro! Remove any dirt or hair from the patient’s forehead for a more accurate reading, and position the thermometer in front of the forehead in between the eyebrows up to 5cm away from the skin Press or hold down the button corresponding to the forehead thermometer, and wait for the beep or light to indicate that it is complete Method 4 to Change Infrared Thermometer from ℃ to ℉. One method to measure a person’s surface temperature is with the use of non-contact infrared thermometers (NCITs). 0000002769 00000 n ����q@k�6Fq5ͦ�Ϸ/����-��Ŵ�։h�o�T�Ú�:��b����S�����L����Z�&oh�V�A��,�4,K/s��[�>����׃����cz=i��)˻��J*�O)�����mβ�V�C��j�~I�����5���ߞ����~���o�!�᥵�r�����_��Z�N(�:2 \T������KC���M���Kpzܝ-,ӵ��{'��D�J&�VF�4�bk�1��t#S�vb�~E�9�'�W�5�mv�o9nQ�qP3�ȭC%s�g2ϱ��dA �I��" S;��P��ـb�A�W�LhK�� ?�����k���� Measuring a person’s temperature can be done in several ways. %PDF-1.4 %���� More recently, with the outbreak of the 2019-nCoV epidemic, non-contact infrared thermometer guns have been broadly used as the most prevailing tool for scanning people in crowded places in hope of finding those who have elevated temperatures, the earliest symptoms of virus infection. There are several sources of uncertainty which contribute greatly to an infrared thermometer calibration. Infrared thermometers can be calibrated for accuracy just like other thermometers. If you have a Beurer IR thermometer or other infrared thermometer, you can perform the steps below to change the unit from Celsius to Fahrenheit. 2525 State St., Columbus, IN 47201-7494 normal forehead measurement. This device may need to be calibrated to ensure accurate temperature readings. At this point, your digital thermometer should read 32 degrees F (0 degrees C). To calibrate your infrared thermometer with an ice bath: Step 1: Fill a large glass to the very top with ice (crushed ice is preferred but not required). 0000009834 00000 n Improper alignment of the infrared thermometer 5. Calibrating Your Infrared Thermometer with a Properly Made Ice Bath. Step 7: Taking extra care to ensure that the "field of view" (the size and shape of surface area being measured) is well inside the sides of the glass or container, press the button on your infrared thermometer to take a measurement. If you have a Beurer IR thermometer or other infrared thermometer, you can perform the steps below to change the unit from Celsius to Fahrenheit. 0000020528 00000 n It is best to calibrate your infrared thermometer at more than one temperature (at 41°F [5°C] and 140°F [60°C] for example) and the Infrared Comparator Cup makes it easy. environment. 1. With its unique technology, the Forehead thermometer can provide a stable, heat-interference-free reading with each measurement. Stir the ice water and let it sit for 3 minutes. Note: If you hold your infrared thermometer too far from the surface of the ice bath or hold it at an angle, your measurement will include the sides of the glass or container or even the table it is resting on and give you an inaccurate reading. We are able to provide a traceable certificate of calibration on all ETI manufactured infrared thermometers. Pour off any excess water. If you need more accuracy at a higher range, it is advisable to send your IR thermometer to a qualified calibration lab. 0000007039 00000 n 0000031940 00000 n 0000010746 00000 n Ear (tympanic) thermometer. Fill a large glass with ice and then fill it with cold tap water. 0000001706 00000 n Also, minimal disinfection is needed if you’re using the thermometer for multiple people, because there’s no actual contact with the skin. 0000028051 00000 n 0000001573 00000 n If neither an industrial black body or a comparator cup are available, however, you can do a quick calibration using a properly made ice bath. HFR researched 3 reasons why these devices are inaccurate. Digital thermometer calibration procedure. :^�tg�l� !�vZ 0000013114 00000 n 2. For this particular type, you have to adjust it manually to get the correct readings. Forehead thermometers are a non-invasive system that uses infrared technology, providing the easiest and quickest measurements. Non-Contact Digital Thermometer KI-8271 LIN STTHREURCMTIOONM MEATNEURAL Please read carefully before using DEVICE DESCRIPTION AND INTENDED USE The thermometer is an electronic device intended to measure the human body temperature using the forehead as measurement site. {�ˠ�v`���L��8(`��p�as*��5��)�%L�Kf1�5$;7̸ ��a���Q ,5x"�}���������es�� F��^&�9��-���I�FI!�f &a�f�� ��������+��@��{ط� o0 >t�� endstream endobj 191 0 obj <>>> endobj 192 0 obj >/PageWidthList<0 396.0>>>>>>/Resources<>/ExtGState<>/Font<>/ProcSet[/PDF/Text/ImageC]/XObject<>>>/Rotate 0/TrimBox[0.0 0.0 396.0 612.0]/Type/Page>> endobj 193 0 obj <> endobj 194 0 obj <>stream It has a large, easy to read screen with temperature guidance which changes the backlight from green to yellow to red depending on the temperature reading. 0000007953 00000 n 190 38 Note: If the ice floats up off the very bottom of the glass at all, the ice bath is likely warmer than 32.0°F (0.0°C). Noncontact forehead thermometers, however, are less likely to disturb a sleeping child, because you only have to hold it 1 to 6 inches from the forehead and scan it across the forehead to get a reading. In calibration labs (like the A2LA-Accredited ThermoWorks Calibration Laboratory in American Fork, Utah), technicians use industrial black bodies (like the IR-500 Portable IR Calibrator) to calibrate infrared thermometers. • Make sure the thermometer has a reset button. trailer <]/Prev 506501>> startxref 0 %%EOF 227 0 obj <>stream Requiring no skin contact, the thermometer works by collecting heat radiation emitting from the forehead. Step 1: The default temperature unit of the infrared thermometer is Celsius ℃.The display screen also includes battery power, laser positioning information, and so on.
