4.1 The Icons and Error Messages

4.2 Questions and Answers

1. The temperature indicated is rather high.

• The unit has been stored in a cold room. When the unit has been stored in a cold room, the measured temperature may be rather high if you measure the temperature shortly after bringing the unit to a room that is at normal temperature. Measure temperature after leaving the unit for 30 minutes in the room where it will be used. It is advisable to store the unit in the room where you are going to measure temperature.
• The probe lens has been exposed to direct sunlight.
• Measurement was taken shortly after the subject cried. Crying can increase facial temperature.

2. The temperature indicated is rather low.

• The body is sweaty. Do not use the unit when wet after swimming, bathing, or through sweating after physical exercise, as skin temperature may have fallen. Wipe away moisture and allow 30 minutes for the body to acclimatize to room temperature before measuring.
• The probe lens is dirty.
• Measurement was taken in surface temperature mode. Use forehead measurement mode.
• Measurement was taken shortly after the subject was outdoors in cold weather. Wait until the forehead has warmed up.
• Measurement was taken at a location other than the forehead. Be sure to measure exactly at the forehead, not surrounding areas such as the hairline.

3. There are variances in the measurement values.

• Measurements were not taken at the same location.
• The probe lens is dirty.

4. The temperature measured on this unit is not equivalent to oral-temperature.

• Forehead thermometers may not always calculate the exact oral-equivalent value. It is recommended to take regular measurements on subjects such as family members, etc., who are in good physical condition, to know their normal temperature.

6. Some Useful Information

How the Forehead Thermometer MC-720 Works
This unit measures the temperature at the surface of the forehead by sensing infrared emission of the skin at the measured point, and then calculates the oral-equivalent value using a unique algorithm based on actual body temperature survey data.

About Body Temperature
Body temperature refers to the stable temperature of the inner body (also known as core body temperature). While temperature measurements at the armpit or mouth provides surface temperature values, holding the thermometer steadily at the measurement point for approx. 10 minutes provides a temperature measurement more closely representing that of core body temperature.

Since forehead temperature measurement involves no bodily support of the thermometer, the resulting measured temperature is typically lower than that of the armpit or mouth.

However, since the forehead has blood vessels that are much less prone to vascular constriction (a natural function of body temperature adjustment), it is supposedly a better measurement area for determining core body temperature, even in a lower
temperature environment. By contrast, temperature measured at the arm or leg, for example, is not a suitable gauge of core body temperature, since such body areas are more subject to vascular constriction. (Note that temperature measured at the forehead may still be influenced by other conditions, such as sweating, or wind from
an air conditioner, etc. It is therefore advised to perform measurement in as stable an environment as possible.)

When measuring the temperature of an infant, note that infant body temperature is generally higher than adult body temperature and easily affected by external factors. For example, body temperature tends to increase after nursing or crying. Therefore, it is recommended to take measurements with the infant in calm and normal condition.

Temperature differences between body temperature and forehead temperature

This unit measures the temperature at the surface of the forehead by sensing infrared emission of the skin at the measured point, and then calculates the oral-equivalent value using a unique algorithm (forehead measurement mode) based on actual body temperature survey data.

Knowing One’s Normal Temperature In order to make a correct judgment of suspected fever conditions, it is important to know one’s normal temperature.
Normal temperature varies with the individual and also changes depending on the time through a day. In addition, measured body temperatures may vary depending on the thermometer or the body part where you measure (see the graph “Variances in core body temperatures obtained at the forehead and mouth”). To find out one’s normal temperature, therefore, we recommend performing regular measurements under the following conditions:

• Measure with the same thermometer.
• Measure at the same area.
• Measure at the same time of day.

FAQ 1
Why are my blood pressure readings sometimes different?
Your blood pressure changes constantly based on your daily activities and time of day. Because of this, some fluctuations can be expected. That’s why it is important to use averages over time to compare readings. Because each person is different, it is important to consult with your physician about what your numbers mean to you.
FAQ 2
Why could my physician’s reading be different than my readings taken at home?
Having your blood pressure measured by a healthcare professional in a physician’s office can cause nervousness and may result in an elevated reading. Because these readings can vary considerably, you should take your blood pressure on a regular basis at home and share your results with your healthcare provider.

TIP 1 
For accurate readings:
– Avoid bathing, drinking alcohol or caffeine, smoking, exercising, and eating for 30 minutes before taking a measurement.
– Rest for at least 5 minutes before taking a measurement.
– Sit quietly with your legs uncrossed and your feet flat on the floor.
TIP 2
Make sure that your blood pressure monitor and smart device are successfully paired, and the app is open on your smart device, before transferring your readings to the app.

Irregular Heartbeat Symbol (

When the monitor detects an irregular rhythm two or more times during the measurement, the irregular heartbeat symbol will appear on the display with the measurement values. An irregular heartbeat rhythm is defined as a rhythm that is 25% less or 25% more than the average rhythm detected while the monitor is measuring the systolic and diastolic blood pressure. If the irregular heartbeat symbol displays with your measurement results, we recommend you consult your physician. Follow the directions of your physician.

Movement Error Symbol (

The movement error symbol is displayed if you move your body during the measurement. Please remove the arm cuff, and wait 2 – 3 minutes. Take another measurement, remain still during measurement.

Classification of BP (Blood Pressure)

ACC/AHA 2017 Hypertension guidelines define categories of BP in adults as below: Categories of BP in Adults* 

• Individuals with Systolic BP and Diastolic BP in 2 categories should be designated to the higher BP category.

BP indicates blood pressure (based on an average of ≥ 2 careful readings obtained on ≥ 2 occasions). Source: ACC/AHA 2017 High Blood Pressure Clinical Practice Guideline Warning: NEVER diagnose or treat yourself based on your readings. ALWAYS consult with your physician.

1.2 Blood Pressure Measurement Tips

To help ensure an accurate reading, follow these directions:

• Stress raises blood pressure. Avoid taking measurements during stressful times.
• Measurements should be taken in a quiet place.
• It is important to take measurements at the same times each day. Taking measurements in the morning and in the evening is recommended.
• Remember to have a record of your blood pressure and pulse readings for your physician. A single measurement does not provide an accurate indication of your true blood pressure. You need to take and record several readings over a period of time.

FAQ

Why are my blood pressure readings sometimes different?
Your blood pressure changes constantly based on your daily activities and time of day. Because of this, some fluctuations can be expected. That’s why it is important to use averages over time to compare readings. Because each person is different, it is important to consult with your physician about what your numbers mean to you.

Why could my physician’s reading be different than my readings taken at home?
Having your blood pressure measured by a healthcare professional in a physician’s office can cause nervousness and may result in an elevated reading. Because these readings can vary considerably, you should take your blood pressure on a regular basis at home and share your results with your healthcare provider.

TIP

For accurate readings:

• Avoid bathing, drinking alcohol or caffeine, smoking, exercising and eating for 30 minutes before taking a measurement.
• Rest for at least 5 minutes before taking a measurement.
• Sit quietly with your legs uncrossed and your feet flat on the floor.

Make sure that your blood pressure monitor and smart device are successfully paired, and the app is open on your smart device, before transferring your readings to the app.

When the monitor detects an irregular rhythm two or more times during the measurement, the irregular heartbeat symbol will appear on the display with the measurement values. An irregular heartbeat rhythm is defined as a rhythm that is 25% less or 25% more than the average rhythm detected while the monitor is measuring the systolic and diastolic blood pressure. If the irregular heartbeat symbol displays with your measurement results, we recommend you consult your physician. Follow the directions of your physician.

Movement Error Symbol (

The movement error symbol is displayed if you move your body during the measurement. Please remove the arm cuff, and wait 2 – 3 minutes. Take another measurement, remain still during measurement.

Classification of BP (Blood Pressure)

ACC/AHA 2017 Hypertension guidelines define categories of BP in adults as below: Categories of BP in Adults* 

• Individuals with Systolic BP and Diastolic BP in 2 categories should be designated to the higher BP category.

BP indicates blood pressure (based on an average of ≥ 2 careful readings obtained on ≥ 2 occasions). Source: ACC/AHA 2017 High Blood Pressure Clinical Practice Guideline Warning: NEVER diagnose or treat yourself based on your readings. ALWAYS consult with your physician.

1.2 Blood Pressure Measurement Tips

To help ensure an accurate reading, follow these directions:

• Stress raises blood pressure. Avoid taking measurements during stressful times.
• Measurements should be taken in a quiet place.
• It is important to take measurements at the same times each day. Taking measurements in the morning and in the evening is recommended.
• Remember to have a record of your blood pressure and pulse readings for your physician. A single measurement does not provide an accurate indication of your true blood pressure. You need to take and record several readings over a period of time.

Caution:

• Avoid bathing, drinking alcohol or caffeine, smoking, exercising and eating for at least 30 minutes before taking a measurement.
• Rest for at least 5 minutes before taking a measurement.
