Safety 1st Model 49501A Instructions

The Safety First model 49501A is an ear thermometer. The human eardrum shares the same blood source with the hypothalamus, which is the part of the brain that controls body temperature. The Safety First 49501A obtains 36 readings in just three seconds of the infrared heat given off by the eardrum and surrounding tissue. Normal temperatures can range from 96.4 degrees Fahrenheit to 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit depending on the size, gender and age of the individual. Consult your doctor to determine at what temperature you should be concerned for your or your child's health.
