1. Place the thermometer against the skin, on the forehead just  above the eyebrow. Be sure to hold the thermometer flush against the forehead. Note: Always remove the protective scanner cap before taking a temperature reading.
2. Press the “Temperature button” and slowly swipe diagonally down the forehead to the temple and then back. Be sure to hold the thermometer flush against the forehead for the duration of the measurement.
3. When the temperature button is pressed a dashed line will appear on the screen and a soft beeping is heard to let you know the thermometer is working. Do not remove the thermometer from the forehead until you hear the long, 2-second confirmation beep.
4. At the confirmation beep, remove the thermometer from the forehead and read the temperature. The screen will illuminate the appropriate color for the temperature reading. Green for a normal temperature, yellow for a fever, and red for a high fever.

To repeat: go to step 3.

This Sensian™ Swipe 5 Thermometer consists of high-quality precision parts.  Do not drop the instrument.

Protect it from severe impact and shock.

Please consult your physician if you see symptoms such as unexplained irritability, vomiting, diarrhea, dehydration, changes in appetite or activity, seizure, muscle pain, shivering, stiff neck, pain when urinating, etc. 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.

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 there is a temperature elevation and if you are taking temperature on:

• 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 even absent in elderly Individuals)
• Individuals having diabetes. mellitus, or a weakened immune system (e.g., HIV positive, cancer chemotherapy, chronic immunosuppressant treatment, splenectomy)
• Individuals who are bedridden due to stroke, chronic illness, surgical recovery, paraplegia, quadriplegia
• A transplant recipient (e.g., liver, heart, lung, kidney)

It is important to know each individual’s normal temperature when they are well. This is the only way to accurately diagnose a fever.

Take multiple readings when healthy to determine normal temperature.
