Measure exposed skin:
 Brush the hair and bangs aside if covering the area to be measured.
If an abnormally high or low reading is obtained:
 Repeat the reading with the same Temp scanner; a correct reading will be reproducible.
 Repeat the reading with another Temp scanner. Two Temp scanners with the same reading
will confirm the reading.
 Sequential readings on the same patient in rapid succession will cool the skin; it is best to
wait about 30 seconds for the skin to recover from the cold probe.
