EMPERATURE READINGS
Temperature readings vary from person to person. Although there is no one “normal” temperature reading, a temperature, taken orally, ranging between
97°F and 100°F is considered normal. A rectal temperature is generally 1° higher and an underarm (axillary) temperature will be 1° lower.
The best method to determine your own normal temperature is to use the thermometer when you are feeling well. Record your
reading twice a day (early morning and late afternoon). Take the average of the two temperatures. This is considered your normal
body temperature. Any variation from it may indicate some sort of illness and you should consult your physician.
BEFORE USE
Your VICKS
®
ComfortFlex™ Digital Thermometer is a 3-in-1 thermometer for oral, rectal, or underarm use.
Whichever method is used, it is recommended that for 15 minutes prior to use, avoid eating or drinking any liquids,
exercising, taking showers or baths, or smoking.
P
ROBE COVERS

2. SELECTING A TEMPERATURE LOCATION
Oral Use
It is suggested to use a probe cover for Oral Use. Discard the probe cover after taking a
temperature.
It is important to place the tip of the thermometer well under the tongue to get a good, accurate
reading. (Fig. 5) Place sensor tip in areas marked with “”. Keep mouth closed and sit still to help
ensure an accurate measurement.
When the peak temperature is reached (usually 12 seconds), 2 beep signals will sound and the “°F”
sign will stop flashing. The temperature is now ready to read and will not change when the
thermometer is removed.
Dispose of used probe cover and wash the thermometer as recommended
Under-the-arm (Axillary) Use
This method is used for babies and young children.
1. Wipe the underarm with a towel.
2. Place the probe tip under the arm so the tip is touching the skin and position your arm next to your body (Fig. 6).
With a young child, it is sometimes helpful to hug the child to keep their arm next to their body. This ensures that
the room air does not affect the reading.
3. When the peak temperature is reached (usually 11 seconds but sometimes longer for this method), 2 beep
signals will sound and the “°F” sign will stop flashing. The temperature is now ready to read and will not change
when the thermometer is removed.
Note: This method produces a temperature 1° lower than a temperature taken orally.
4. Wash the thermometer as recommended.
Rectal Use
Commonly used for babies, young children, or when it is difficult to take an oral or underarm temperature.
1. Cover the thermometer’s tip with a probe cover and lubricate with a water-soluble jelly for easier
insertion. Do not use petroleum jelly. Read the label of the lubricant to be sure you are using the
right kind.
2. Lay the patient on his/her side. If the patient is an infant, the proper position for a baby is to lay on
its stomach with legs hanging down, either across your knees or at the edge of a bed or changing
table. This positions the infant’s rectum for safe and easy insertion of the thermometer.
3. Gently insert the tip of the thermometer NO MORE THAN 1/2 inch into the rectum. If you detect resistance, stop. Hold the thermometer in place
during measurement.
4. When the peak temperature is reached (usually 10 seconds) 2 beep signals will sound and the “
°
F” sign will stop flashing. The temperature is
now ready to read and will not change when the thermometer is removed.
NOTE: This method produces a temperature 1
°
higher than a temperature taken orally.
5. Dispose of used probe cover and wash the thermometer as recommended.
3. READING THE MEASUREMENT
The Vicks
®
ComfortFlex™ Digital Thermometer comes with the patented “Fever InSight” feature offers a color indicator with the temperature readout
to better understand the temperature measurement.
For readings between 97.0-98.9°F, the LCD will display green as the backlight color indicating the measurement is within an acceptable range.
For readings between 99.0-100.9°F, the LCD will display yellow as the backlight color indicating a slight elevation in temperature measurement.
For readings 101.0°F and above, the LCD will display red as the backlight color indicating possible fever.
The Fever InSight feature continues for about 7 seconds.
4. TURNING THE UNIT OFF
Turn the thermometer off by pressing the On/Off button. If you forget to turn it off, the thermometer will automatically turn off after approximately 3.5
minutes.
