The Correct Use of Infrared Forehead Thermometer

An infrared thermometer, of course, can also be called a forehead gun or a forehead thermometer, which is a new type of body temperature measurement method. It seems simple to use a forehead thermometer to measure temperature. What you need to do is just to aim at the person’s forehead, press the button, and read the temperature value, but if you do not grasp the measurement principle and method, the measured temperature result will have a larger error.
 
When using an infrared forehead thermometer, in order to ensure accuracy, the following points should be noted:
 
First of all, make sure the person’s forehead to be free from sweat, hair, dust, hats and other sundries. Second, ensure the normal working environment of the instrument (usually above 16°C). Pay attention, in the case of cold outdoor weather, the temperature measured by the thermometer can not be used as a reference, because it is abnormal work.
 
In addition, when using an imported thermometer, for the mode and unit, some thermometers have two functions: surface temperature and body temperature. Therefore, you must make a correct choice when selecting the mode. The unit of measurement should be Celsius °C instead of Fahrenheit °F, and their difference reflected in the number is staggering.
 
Finally, the daily cleaning of the forehead thermometer is also very important. You should blow off the dust on the probe with an ear wash ball or a headless needle tubing, and then use 75% medical alcohol to clean the inside of the probe, and then wipe the outer surface of the instrument before use.
