TEMPERATURE READINGS

Temperature readings vary from person to person. Although there is no one ‘normal” temperature reading, a temperature taken orally, ranging between 97.0°F and 99.0°F (36.1T and 37.2°C), is considered normal. A person’s body temperature will usually be several tenths to one full degree lower In the morning than It is In the late afternoon. Therefore, If your temperature is 97.9°F (36.6°C) In the morning, it could be 98.4°F (36.9°C) or more in the late afternoon and still be normal. The best method to determine your own normal temperature is to use the thermometer when you are feeling well. Record your temperature twice a day (early morning and late afternoon). Take the average of The hero temperatures. This Is considered your normal body temperature. Any variation from It may indicate some sort of Illness and you should consult your physician.

BEFORE USE

TEMPERATURE READINGS

Although there is no one “normal” temperature reading, a temperature taken orally, ranging between 97.0°F and 99.9°F (36.1°C and 37.7°C), is considered normal. A rectal temperature is generally about 1° higher and an underarm temperature will be about 1° lower. A person’s body temperature will usually be several tenths to one full degree lower in the morning than it is in the late afternoon. Therefore, if your temperature is 97.9°F (36.6°C) in the morning, it could be 98.4°F (36.9°C) or more in the late afternoon and still be normal. The best method to determine your own normal temperature is to use the thermometer when you are feeling well. Record your temperature twice a day (early morning and late afternoon). Take the average of the two temperatures. This is considered your normal body temperature. Any variation from it may indicate some sort of illness and you should consult your physician. This device is calibrated at the time of manufacturing. No recalibration is required. Contact Customer Happiness for any accuracy issues.

BEFORE USE

The Kinsa QuickCare Thermometer is intended for the intermittent measurement and monitoring of human body temperature orally, rectally, and under the arm. Whichever method is used, it is recommended to avoid eating or drinking any liquids, exercising, taking showers or baths, or smoking for 10 minutes prior to use, as these can cause mild variations in temperature. Disinfect the probe with isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol before use. See Cleaning and Storage section below.

PROBE COVERS

Probe covers can be purchased at most drug stores or pharmacy departments. Place a cover on the probe tip each time the thermometer is used to help prevent the spread of germs.

A beep will indicate when the temperature measurement is successfully completed. Temperature readings typically take 8 seconds.
The temperature reading will be shown on the illuminated display. A smiling face icon indicates that the temperature is normal while a neutral or frowning face indicates a mild or high fever, respectively.
The thermometer will automatically turn off after 30 seconds of inactivity. The display will briefly flash OFF and it will go blank. You can also press and hold the ON/OFF button for 2 seconds to power off.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR THERMOMETER DISPLAY

RELIABLE METHODS TO MEASURE TEMPERATURE

Body temperature is one of the most important indicators of illness and so it is important that temperatures be taken accurately. Please follow these instructions for use closely.

Oral Use: Place the probe tip well under the tongue in a heat pocket. See Figure 1 for correct placement. Keep mouth closed while the temperature reading is being taken. A normal oral temperature is considered 97.0°F – 99.9°F (36.1°C – 37.7°C). A probe cover is suggested for oral use to prevent the spread of germs. Discard the probe cover after taking a temperature.

Rectal Use: If rectal temperature readings are recommended by your doctor, you may use a probe cover. Insert the temperature probe into a probe cover. Insert the probe tip no more than ½ inch into rectum. STOP if you meet any resistance. The sensing unit is on the very tip of the probe and there is no reason to insert the tip deep into the rectum. Do NOT insert the probe past the metal tip. In general, a normal rectal temperature is considered 97.5°F – 100.3°F (36.4°C – 37.9°C).

Underarm Use: Wipe armpit with a dry towel. Place probe in armpit and keep arm pressed firmly against the body. In general, a normal underarm temperature is considered 96.5°F – 98.9°F (35.8°C – 37.2°C).

CLEANING & STORING

Clean the probe before and after use with a damp, soapy cloth or by disinfecting with rubbing alcohol (70% isopropyl alcohol). Wipe dry with soft cloth. DO NOT BOIL OR CLEAN IN DISHWASHER. This will cause the thermometer to no longer function and will void the warranty. Do not wash the unit with any thinner or chemical solvent.

REPLACING THE BATTERY

The QuickCare thermometer is powered by a single CR2032 coin cell. When the battery is low, the screen will display “APP” and the Kinsa app on your phone will confirm a low battery. To replace the battery:

Insert a coin into the groove on the battery cover to turn and open it.
Remove the old battery and replace with a new one. Make sure the the battery is in the correct polarity direction (positive side faces user).
Close the battery cover.

Battery Life: More than 600 measurements or approximately 2 years if used every day.

CHANGING FROM FAHRENHEIT TO CELSIUS & VICE-VERSA

To change the reading units on your thermometer, press the ON/OFF button once to turn the thermometer on and then press the ON/OFF button 2 more times in rapid succession. To change the units used in the app, click on the “Menu” icon and select “Settings” icon. An icon will be displayed to indicate which mode the thermometer is in. Touch the icon to switch modes.

Body Temperature

Temperature readings vary from person to person, by age, time of day, and by site of
measurement. For example, core body temperature often decreases with age. The
best method to determine your own normal temperature is to use the thermometer
when you are feeling well. Record your temperature twice a day (early morning and late afternoon) using the Kinsa app. Take the average of the two temperatures. This is
considered your normal body temperature. Any variation from it may indicate some
sort of illness and you should consult your physician.

Why Measure in the Ear?

Ear temperatures accurately reflect core body temperature, since the ear drum shares
a blood supply with the temperature control center in the brain: the hypothalamus.1
The Kinsa Smart Ear Thermometer monitors the infrared heat radiated from the
eardrum and surrounding tissue and detects once an accurate temperature
measurement has been taken.
