old, frail, or have a weakened immune system. Please seek professional advice immediately when there is
a temperature elevation and if you are taking temperature on:

37.4 °C [99.4 °F])
• Patients over 60 years of age (Fever may be blunted or absent in older patients)
• Patients having diabetes mellitus or a weakened immune system (e.g., HIV positive, cancer
chemotherapy, chronic steroid treatment, splenectomy)
• Patients who are bedridden (e.g., nursing home patient, stroke, chronic illness, recovering from
surgery)
• A transplant patient (e.g., liver, heart, lung, kidney).
This thermometer is not intended for pre-term babies or small-for-gestational age babies.
