Instructions for use of the article Aponorm Clinical Thermometer Basic The Aponorm Clinical Thermometer Basic provides a precise measurement result in only 60 seconds. It has a fixed tip and an automatic signal tone. The thermometer stores the last measurement and has an automatic switch-off function. The replaceable long-life battery allows approx. 3,000 measurements. To switch on the thermometer, press the on/off button. A long beep indicates that the thermometer is switched on. A display test is performed and an "L" and a flashing "°C" are displayed if the ambient temperature is less than 32 °C. The thermometer is now ready for measurement. After switching on, the thermometer automatically performs a function test. In the event of a malfunction, "ERR" is displayed and the unit can no longer be used. During the measurement, the current temperature is displayed and the "°C" sign flashes. When the signal tone sounds and the "°C" stops flashing, the measurement is completed. Depending on the measurement location, it may be necessary to continue the measurement after the signal tone. The thermometer can be switched off directly by briefly pressing the on/off button. To display the last measured value, press and hold the On/Off key for 3 seconds when switching on the thermometer. The last measured value is displayed together with an "M" for memory. For measurement under the arm (axillary), the thermometer should be inserted with the measurement sensor as far up as possible into the armpit and clamped firmly against the body with the arm. The axilla should wait at least 5 minutes, regardless of the signal tone. For the measurement in the oral cavity (orally), you should not eat or drink anything warm or particularly cold for 10 minutes. The thermometer is placed with the measuring sensor in one of the two tongue pockets, directly at the root of the tongue. The lips should be pressed firmly together and the mouth kept closed during the measurement. The minimum measurement time is 1 minute. For rectal measurement (in the anus), it is recommended to insert the thermometer into the rectum/after while the patient is lying on his/her back or side with the legs bent. The measuring tip can be additionally greased to avoid injuries. Here, too, the minimum measuring time is 1 minute. For cleaning and disinfection, the thermometer probe is wiped with a cotton cloth moistened with 70% isopropyl alcohol. The measuring probe should then be immersed in 70% isopropyl alcohol for 5 minutes to a maximum of 24 hours. The display should not be immersed or wiped to avoid damage. The Aponorm clinical thermometer Basic is available in different colours and can be purchased at your mail-order pharmacy.
