Learn about the 12 most important facts of Microlife infrared thermometers.
The accuracy of Microlife infrared thermometer has been proven in clinics. Microlife infrared thermometers are manufactured to meet the same international standards as hospital devices.
In accordance with international standards we recommend that you ask your authorized Microlife dealer to perform an accuracy check every two years.
No, never immerse the thermometer into water or other liquids.
Yes, Microlife infrared thermometers offer a wide range of measurement from 0 - 100.0 °C / 32.0 - 212.0 °F, meaning the thermometer’s can also be used to measure milk surface temperature in a baby's bottle, surface temperature of a baby’s bath or ambient temperature.
No, as long as the operating temperature is between 10°C and 40°C (50°F and 104°F)! If the thermometer itself is outside this range no measurements can be performed. The display shows «L» or «H». It may take some time before the thermometer reaches its operating conditions.
Yes, but please note that the operating temperature has to be between 10°C and 40°C (50°F and 104°F)! As long as the thermometer itself is outside this range no measurements can be performed. In this case, the display shows «L» or «H». It will take considerable time to return the thermometer to its working temperature range.
Please note, that patients and thermometer should stay in steady-state room condition for at least 30 minutes.
Microlife thermometers are developed and designed for humans. We do not have experience in animal measurements and do not take any responsibility for data obtained for animals.
We do NOT recommend this, as clinical studies have not been completed to ensure proper monitoring of basal body temperature by ear or forehead measurements.
No, as long as the operating temperature is between 10°C and 40°C (50°F and 104°F)! If the thermometer itself is outside this range no measurements can be performed. The display shows «L» or «H». It may take some time before the thermometer reaches its operating conditions.
Microlife products are designed for a long product life. Components used are of high quality and carefully protected. In spite of careful design & construction, abuse of the Microlife Thermometer can result in product failure.
When designing a new product, we perform stress tests of key components to ensure long-life. Our product is designed to last for 5 to 10 years under estimated 'normal' home use conditions.
The battery has a life-time of at least 1000 measurements.
This depends on the required battery type of the thermometer. Please refer to the instruction manual.
