Nurofen For Children FeverSmart Temperature Monitor Refills - 4

What is Nurofen FeverSmart Temperature Monitor?

Nurofen FeverSmart Temperature Monitor is a baby thermometer to monitor your child’s temperature. This monitor allows continuous real-time temperature monitoring without disturbing your child as traditional thermometers do.

What can cause a fever?

A temperature of over 37.5°C for children younger than 3 months or 39°C for children aged 3-6 months, is classed as a fever. Fevers are typically caused by infections or other illnesses. The high body temperature makes it more difficult for bacteria and viruses that cause infections to survive.

Common illnesses that can cause fever include:

• Upper respiratory tract infections (e.g. a cold).
• Flu.
• Ear infections.
• Roseola- a virus that causes a temperature and a rash.
• Tonsillitis.
• Kidney or urinary tract infections.
• Common childhood illnesses, such as chickenpox and whooping cough.
• Post-immunisation.

What is included with this product?

This product includes four refill patches for your Nurofen FeverSmart meter. These are the adhesive patches that are placed on your child to measure their temperature.

How does Nurofen Feversmart work?

These refill self-adhesive patches are used with the Nurofen FeverSmart monitor, which are placed beneath your child’s armpit whilst they sleep. The metal monitor sits against their skin and accurately reads your child’s temperature every 60 seconds before sending the reading to your smartphone via the FeverSmart app. If your child’s temperature rises to moderate or high levels, you will receive a push notification on your phone to alert you to the change in temperature. It will also send you notifications if the temperature on the monitor drops rapidly, as this could indicate that the monitor patch has fallen off, so you can make the adjustments needed to get the monitor working effectively again. You can also use the FeverSmart app to track the medication you have administered to your child, set up notifications to remind you when to administer another dose and record their symptoms.

What temperature should my child be?

The FeverSmart Monitor is pre-programmed with temperature ranges, which differ depending on the age of your child. If your child’s temperature is within these ranges, the FeverSmart app will show you one of three colours:

  0 – 3 months

  4 – 36 months

  3 years and over

  Normal

  34.7 – 36.9 degrees C

  34.7 – 37.3 degrees C

  35.9 – 36.7 degrees C

  Moderate

  37.0 – 37.9 degrees C

  37.4 – 37.9 degrees C

  36.8 – 38.4 degrees C

  High

  Over 38 degrees C

  Over 38 degrees C

  Over 38.5 degrees C

These ranges should be used as a rule, as your child’s natural temperature may be slightly different.
