NIRA Temp FAQs

The NIRA Temp App is available for download on the App Store for iOS devices or Google Play Store for Android devices.

Place NIRA Temp on a fresh adhesive patch. Once it is attached, place the bandage on clean, dry skin in the FDA suggested placement: on your side, below your armpit. The arm should be relaxed along your side to enclose the device in the armpit. This placement gives you the most accurate temperature reading.

That’s it! Set it and forget it.

To ensure correct placement, the sensor side on the device (the side with the round metal part) must in direct contact with the skin. This sensor will measure temperature and send the reading to the NIRA Temp app.

To register the device, you must first install the NIRA Temp app onto your smartphone. Once installed, the NIRA Temp app will ask you to scan the QR code on the device for pairing. If that does not work, you can also pair via Bluetooth.

Follow the directions in the app to successfully pair your device. Detailed instructions can be found on our Instructions for Use page here.

If the device has been paired successfully, the NIRA Temp App will display your device ID and real-time temperature in the app dashboard.

The lights on the device will also flash red, green, or yellow depending on your temperature and alert limits. Normal temperature ranges will be green.

It is suggested that you wear your NIRA Temp when out in public and at your place of school or work. This allows you to know that you are staying healthy during your social interactions.

It is also suggested that you put it on at least 30 minutes before you leave your home. This way, your thermometer can notify you if you are a health risk to others, so you can socialize responsibly keeping the people around you safer.

No, NIRA Temp does not need to be turned off. Once the thermometer is removed from the skin, it will go into standby mode. When re-applied to the skin, the thermometer will turn on when the nominal temperature is reached.

No, NIRA Temp only needs to be paired once and will turn on once applied to the skin.

Yes! NIRA Temp feels just like wearing a bandage. Once you put it on, you will forget that it’s even there.  

This is the placement recommended by the FDA. When NIRA Temp is placed here, you get an accurate reading of temperature to more accurately track your health.

Your temperature is an indicator of a fever, which is a symptom of many infectious diseases, including but not limited to COVID-19. This is one way we can closely monitor and protect ourselves from illness.

You can purchase NIRA Temp directly through our website and/or the NIRA Temp App.

NIRA Temp comes with one month supply of Classic Patches (30 adhesive patches). If you need to purchase additional adhesive patches, you can do so through our website and/or the NIRA Temp App.

Yes, the adhesive patches have been tested and proven to allow light to penetrate so users can see the LED indicators on the NIRA Temp thermometer.

You do! NIRA does NOT sell or share data with any outside sources.

You have total control over who has access to your data. You can choose to share your data with friends and family, so you can keep track of each others’ temperature.

You can also choose to share with your school and/or workplace. This allows you and your organization to know that the population is healthy, and that it is safe to be at school and/or work.

NIRA Temp only tracks your temperature. In some cases, the user may turn on location tracking so that your organization knows if you are on their campus or off their campus so they may determine action for those who need medical attention while on campus.

Yes, NIRA Temp is not a replacement for social distancing practices. It simply makes social situations safer, bringing more awareness into the health status of the people socializing.

A health warning is NIRA Temp letting you know that it senses a change in your health status and that you should be proactive and aware.

A health alarm means your current health status is within the health risk threshold set by the FDA and that you should take immediate action.

NIRA Temp will walk you through the steps you can take to get the help that you need and keep the people around you safe.

Not necessarily - NIRA Temp does not test for infectious diseases. It monitors one of the major symptoms of disease, which is fever.

Health officials are still learning a lot about COVID-19, and some people have been infected without showing symptoms. Having no fever is a good indicator of health but it is not a guarantee.

Follow the health and safety guidelines from your local health officials. Wear a mask, social distance, and consult your doctor.

You should take action immediately. Wear a mask (if you don’t already have one on), social distance, and seek immediate attention from a health practitioner.

If you are registered with an organization (a school or workplace), NIRA Temp will tell you exactly where to go and who to report to within that organization. For example, “See nurse in room 201 immediately.”

Contact that loved one to make sure they are taking the necessary steps to stay healthy, seek medical attention, and prevent the spread of disease.
