The thermometer provides a manual, easy-to-read scale and a reusable, low-maintenance solution for routine fever monitoring in infants, children and adults.

Advantages

The compact size and simple manual scale make the device straightforward to use without electronics or batteries. Its reusable nature and durable glass tube deliver a cost-effective option for regular home checks.

How to use

Before use, clean and disinfect the thermometer according to the manufacturer’s instructions. For oral use, place the thermometer under the tongue and close the mouth until the required measuring time has elapsed. For axillary use, place the tip in the armpit and ensure skin contact by holding the arm firmly against the body. For rectal use, use appropriate lubrication and gentle insertion, especially for infants; follow safe depth and hygiene recommendations. Read the temperature from the manual scale once the thermometer has equilibrated to body temperature. After use, clean and store the thermometer in its protective case.

Usage recommendations

Use the thermometer on a single person at a time or disinfect thoroughly between different users. Do not use if the glass is cracked or damaged. Keep out of reach of children and handle carefully to avoid breakage. Follow age-appropriate measurement sites and timing: axillary checks may take longer to stabilize than oral or rectal measurements. Consult healthcare guidance if readings are consistently abnormal.
