Vicks VNT275USV1 Non-Contact Infrared Thermometer Guide

Foreword
The Non-Contact Infrared Body Thermometer Operating Instructions intend to provide the necessary information for the proper operation of the VNT275US thermometer. General knowledge of the Non-Contact Infrared Body Thermometer and an understanding of the features and functions of the VNT275US thermometer are prerequisites for proper use. The Non-Contact Infrared Body Thermometer is a medical device and can be used repeatedly for 1 year. Please read the manual before using the device, if you do not fully understand these instructions for use, do not use the thermometer.

Indications for Use

The Non-Contact Infrared Body Thermometer is a non-sterile, reusable thermometer intended to be used for the intermittent determination of human body temperature by consumers of all ages in a home-use environment (such as home settings or places of business as an employee screening tool), in no touch mode, with the forehead as the measurement site.

Safety Information
This device may only be used for the purposes described in these instructions. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage caused by the incorrect application.

Important Safety Instructions:

• The Non-Contact Infrared Body Thermometer is intended to be used by consumers in a home-use environment (such as home settings or places of business as an employee screening tool).
• Keep out of reach of children under 12 years.
• NEVER use the thermometer for purposes other than those for which it has been intended. Please follow the general safety precautions when using on children.
• NEVER immerse the thermometer in water or other liquids (not waterproof). For cleaning, please follow the instructions in the “Care and Cleaning” section.
• DO NOT store this thermometer in temperatures below -4°F or over 131°F (extremes below -20°C or over 55°C) or in excessive humidity (up to 93% non-condensing relative humidity).
• Let the thermometer and the individual being measured acclimate to the temperature of the room for 30 minutes during which the measurement will be taken.
• Before using, allow the thermometer to remain in the room in which it will be used for 30 minutes. The room temperature should be between 59°F – 95°F (15°C to 35°C).
• The individual being measured should be indoors for 20 minutes before taking a measurement, as the external temperature can impact skin temperature.
• In the event that you can’t follow the ambient acclimation guidance due to using this device as a screening tool, the reading displayed may shift up or down as a result of the temperature subjects are coming from compared to the temperature they are being measured in. If that is the case, judge individuals against each other, and any individual that is reading 1.5°F (0.8°C) higher or lower than the normal, should be measured again with the following acclimation.

Overview

Description of Non-Contact Infrared Body Thermometer

• Device principle and introduction: The Non-Contact Infrared Body Thermometer is a hand-held, reusable, battery-operated device, which can measure human body temperature using the forehead as the measurement site (the skin temperature on one’s forehead.) The operating principle is based on Infrared (IR) Sensor technology. When measuring, the IR Sensor acquires infrared energy from the target forehead. Taking into account the ambient temperature, the thermometer turns the signal from the IR Sensor to a digital value and displays it on the LCD.

Safety Classification of ME EQUIPMENT

Note:
Not intended to be sterilized. Not for use in an OXYGEN RICH ENVIRONMENT Figure 2-Measuring position and distance MEDICAL ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT needs special precautions regarding EMC. For a detailed description of EMC requirements please contact Consumer Relations. Portable and mobile RF communications equipment can affect MEDICAL ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT. Remove the battery from the instrument if it is not required for extended periods of time in order to avoid damage to the thermometer resulting from a leaking battery.

Operation

Battery installation
CAUTION:
The Non-Contact Infrared Body Thermometer does not operate with dead batteries and does not input outer power. Install new batteries.

1. Pull the battery door out in the direction of the arrow and then lift up to access the battery compartment.
2. Insert two AAA-size batteries according to the “+” and “-”.
3. Close the battery cover.

How to Operate Before Applying the Thermometer

Be sure to read and understand all warnings listed in the instructions before use.

• The thermometer should align with the middle of the forehead to measure body temperature (between and directly above the eyebrows) at a vertical distance. Press the On (Trigger) button and the temperature will display immediately, see Figure 2
  
• Before using, allow the thermometer to remain in the room in which it will be used for 30 minutes. The room temperature should be between 59°F and 95°F (15°C and 35°C).
• The ambient temperature around the test person should be stable. DO NOT take human temperature measurements near air flow from fans, air-conditioning vents, etc.
• Wait at least 1 second for the next measurement. If measuring continuously five times, it is recommended to wait at least 30 seconds and then continue the measurement.

General Setup and Use

Start measuring
Align the device to forehead at a distance of 1-5cm (0.4-2.0 inches), then press the On (Trigger) button to start the measurement and read the data. The thermometer will perform a self-test with all segments displayed for 2 seconds.

Note:
After the full display is over, you will hear a single “beep” for a normal temperature or 4 “double beeps” for an elevated temperature, which means that the measurements have been completed. The target value of the measured temperature is displayed on the LCD, while the backlit displays one of three colors red, green, and yellow.

Green means ready for the next measurement. If 99.3°F – 101.1°F (37.4°C-38.4°C), yellow is displayed, which means a slight fever warning. Please pay attention to body temperature. When the body temperature is above 101.1°F, red is displayed, which means high fever. Please take action to cool down or go to a doctor. 2) To ensure the accuracy of the measurement, wait at least 30 seconds after 5 consecutive measurements.

Mode conversion
When the device is on, press the MODE button to cycle conversion between “body” mode and “surface” mode. “body” mode is used for measuring human body temperature, and the “surface “ mode is used to measure the surface temperature. (The factory default is “body” mode).

Advanced Settings:

Fever Alert Set – F2
This setting will change at what point the backlight color of the temperature reading turns to red. After entering the screen for changing the temperature scale, F1, press the “SET” button to enter F2. Press the “MODE” button to decrease this value by 0.1°C The factory default and highly recommended temperature to have this set at is 38.5°C (101.2°F)

Sound Settings – F3
This setting will change the buzzer to be on or off. While in Fever Alert Setting, F2, press the “SET” button to enter F3. Press the “MODE” or the “MEMO” button to turn the volume on or off. Press the “SET” button to save this setting. This can also be changed using the directions outlined in “Turning the Sound On/Off”.

Replacing the Battery

1. Open and release the battery cover following the indicator on the surface of the battery cover.
2. Remove the battery and replace it with 2 new ones, type AAA. Make sure to align properly as indicated inside the battery cover.
3. Slide the battery cover back in until it snaps in place. Do not dispose of used batteries in household waste. Take them to special local collection sites.
4. Just take off the batteries, wait 30 sec, then load the batteries again.

Cleaning, Care, and Storage

• The lens is very delicate.
• It is very important to protect the lens from dirt and damage.
• Use a clean, soft cloth to clean the surface of the device and LCD. Do not use solvents or immerse the device in water or other liquids.
• Always keep the thermometer within the storage temperature range (-4°F to 131°F or -20°C to 55°C) –and humidity range (≤93% non-condensing).
• When the ambient temperature of the thermometer changes too much, such as moving the thermometer from one place of lower temperature to another place of higher temperature, allow the thermometer to remain in a room for 30 minutes where the temperature is between 59°F- 95°F (15°C to 35°C)
