associated with the mouth or rectum. Therefore, no lens
covers are necessary. Cleaning the thermometer is very
easy and can be done by:

body of the thermometer.

From time to time it is advised to use a cotton swab or
soft cloth moistened with rubbing alcohol or water to
wipe clean the sensor head of the thermometer.

temperatures, humidity, direct sunlight or shock.
