Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Innovo INV-EF100 Dual Mode Digital Infrared Thermometer. The INV-EF100 has passed numerous rigorous clinical tests and has proven to be safe, reliable and accurate when used in accordance with the operation manual.
We want to make a thermometer that is capable of accompanying your child from infancy to adulthood. That is why the INV-EF100 Dual Mode Digital Infrared Thermometer is designed to be BOTH an ear thermometer AND a forehead thermometer, offering users the freedom to choose between two modes. We recommend that you use the forehead measurement mode if your child is less than 1 yr old. The eardrum measurement mode can be used when they are older and more comfortable with a foreign object in their ear.
Please read the instructions carefully before using the product. Keep user manual in a safe place for future reference.
The INV-EF100 thermometer is able to measure both forehead and ear temperatures by detecting the infrared heat emitted by the respective areas. The forehead mode is activated by pressing the F1 button and the eardrum mode is activated by pressing the F2 button.
Convenient and easy to use
Accurate and quick
Utilize the latest infrared technology – accurate, precise and instant readings.
Safe and hygienic
Memory Recall
Has a Memory Mode that can recall 20 previous readings to track changes in temperature.
Convenient Fever warning
When the temperature exceeds 99.5°F/37.5°C, the thermometer will warn the user that he/she may have a fever by 7 rapid short beeps and a flickering reading with a red backlit on the LCD screen for 3 seconds. (For normal body temperature, the signal is a long beep with a green backlit.)
Operating principle
The infrared temperature sensor detects infrared energy emitted by the eardrum. A built-in lens focuses the collected energy, which is then converted into a temperature reading by the thermopiles and measurement circuits.
2. Warnings and Precautions
This product is not intended to substitute advice from a physician, pharmacist, or other licensed health-care professional. You should not use this product for self-diagnosis or for treating a health problem. Contact your health-care provider immediately if you suspect that you have a medical problem.

Battery Installation:
Notes:
☆ Prior to using the thermometer for the first time, pull the plastic tab off the battery, if any.
☆ Batteries should be installed according to the stated polarities.
Otherwise, the device bracket might be damaged.
☆ Please remove the batteries if you will not be using the thermometer for an extended period of time.
4. Note on Body Temperature
To determine if an individual is experiencing an elevated body temperature and/or having a fever, it is critical to know the individual’s normal body temperature when he/she is well. Take multiple readings to obtain the normal body temperature range and note the specific body site measured, for example: forehead or eardrum temperature.
Normal body temperature fluctuates throughout the day and is also affected by external factors. The body temperature of an individual is the lowest between 2:00 a.m. and 4:00 a.m. and the highest between 2:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. An individual’s body temperature typically changes by less than 1°C (1.8 °F) each day.

Fingertip Pulse Oximeter
USER MANUAL
Ver1.0 – iP900AP
SpO2 stands for peripheral capillary oxygen saturation. Oxygen saturation is defined as the ratio of oxyhemoglobin (HbO2) to the total concentration of hemoglobin (i.e. Oxyhemoglobin + reduced hemoglobin) present in the blood. It is an important physiological parameter involved in respiration and circulation. The Pulse Oximeter feature herein is small, portable, non-invasive and easy to use. The user only needs to insert a finger into the chamber to measure his/her SpO2 level and pulse rate. It has also been proven to be highly precise and reliable in clinical tests.
Oxygenated blood absorbs light preferentially at 905nm (near infrared light), whereas deoxygenated blood absorbs light preferentially at 660nm (red light). A pulse oximeter works by passing a beam of red and infrared light through a pulsating capillary bed and then measure the amount of red and infrared light emerging from the tissues via a sensor. To improve accuracy, the iP900AP uses a proprietary algorithm to collect data from pulsatile arterial blood and excludes noise from the tissues. The relative absorption of light by oxyhemoglobin (HbO) and deoxyhemoglobin is then calculated according to the Beer-Lambert’s law and a quantitative measurement of the users’ oxyhemoglobin status i.e. Oxygen saturation level (SpO2) is derived. Diagram of Operation Principle
The iP900AP Fingertip pulse oximeter is a portable non-invasive device intended for spot-checking of oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin (SpO2) and pulse rate of children (>12 years old) and adult. The device is for sports and/or aviation use.
After turning the oximeter on, each time you press the power button, the oximeter will switch to another display mode. There are 6 display modes shown as follows:
The pulse bar graph, plethysmograph and perfusion index (PI) are useful features that can be used to determine the reliability of a reading. If the height of the pulse bar is less than 30%, this indicates signal inadequacy and the displayed SpO2 or pulse rate value is potentially incorrect. Adjust your finger so that it is directly between the LED lights and sensor.
The plethysmograph indicates the amount of blood flow detected by the pulse oximeter and the perfusion index indicates the strength of your pulse. Each wave in the plethysmograph corresponds to a heartbeat and the wave amplitude corresponds to the amount of blood detected by the pulse oximeter. The pulse oximeter is optimized when the height of the wave amplitude is consistent throughout as shown in the figure above. That is when you should take the reading. The pulse oximeter can function with a PI reading as low as 0.3%. If your PI is below 0.3%, this means that your blood perfusion is too low for a reliable read. Warm your hands to increase blood flow and retake your measurement. In general, a higher PI will give you a more reliable reading.
In the measuring interface, press and hold the power button to enter the settings interface. To scroll down the menu, short press (<1 sec) the power button. The icon indicates the line selected. To select an option, long press (>1 sec) the power button.
