GENERAL WARNINGS
1) Self-measurement means control, not diagnosis or
treatment. Unusual values have always to be discussed with
one's own physician.
Do not modify, in any case, dosages of any drug prescribed
by your doctor.
2) This thermometer is a sensitive instrument. Handle it with
care and do not expose it to mechanical bumps. Do not
press, bend, let fall or break into pieces the thermometer.
3) Keep out of reach of children.
4) Do not expose the thermometer to extreme temperatures,
direct sunlight and do not store it close to heat sources.
Store in a dry and clean place.
5) Do not touch the probe with the fingers and do not
disassemble the thermometer.
6) Do not immerse the device in water or other liquids.
7) Do not use the ear thermometer to take rectal, oral or
axillary temperature.
8) Measurement accuracy may be jeopardized by: taking
vasoconstrictive medicines and ear irritations.
9) Before each measurement, clean the ear where the probe
will be positioned.
10) Take the temperature away from direct sunlight and wind.
11) This thermometer has to be used to measure ear
temperature as shown in figure 1.
12) Keeping the thermometer in hand for too long can cause the
probe to measure a lower body temperature.
13) Do not take the temperature for thirty minutes after sports
activity or having had a bath.
A HIGH TEMPERATURE
A high temperature should be considered a symptom and not an illness.
Usually it is the sign that our organism is fighting against an infection.
In fact, it represents a defensive reaction of our organism that is
characterised by an increase in body temperature above 37°C and by an
increase in heartbeat and breathing frequency.
The normal temperature inside our organism is around 37.5°C, which is the
value read with the rectal method, the temperature in the mouth is lower by
about 0.5°C (37°C), while that under the armpit is lower by 1°C (36.5°C).
Therefore it is very important that the temperature is correctly measured
using the most effective method, and preferably not in those moments when
body temperature could be higher (on waking, after meals).
The temperature of a healthy person is also affected by the following factors:
• The person’s individual level (individual metabolism).
• Age (body temperature is higher in babies and small children and falls
with increasing age. Greater temperature fluctuations occur in children
faster and more often.).
• Clothing.
• The outside temperature.
• The time of day (Body temperature is lower in the morning and rises
as the day goes on).
• Preceding physical activity.
• Measuring method.
• Phase of the menstrual cycle.
It is necessary to consider that skin temperature can be affected particularly
by the room temperature. Underarm temperature measurement is, in fact,
less reliable than oral and rectal measurement.
The temperature measured in the ear is reliable because the thermometer
detects the heat produced by the eardrum. It detects the temperature of the
nervous centre located in the brain, the area regulating body temperature.
This measurement method is very appreciated as it is non-invasive,
accurate and reliable.
Please remember, that the thermometer must be in the room
where the temperatures is to be taken at least half an hour
beforehand, while the person must be present at least 10
minutes beforehand. The table below is a eist of querage temperatures
"normal".
However, we recommend that you learn to recognise your normal
body temperature when you are well, to correctly interpret the
different readings.
MEASURING METHOD NORMAL AVERAGE
ARMPIT 36.5°C
ORAL 37°C
RECTAL 37.5°C
EAR 37°C
These different thermometers are suitable for measuring the temperature in
different parts of the body: forehead thermometer: measurement only on the
forehead, ear thermometer: measurement only in the ear, rod thermometer:
rectal (conventionally in the back passage), axillary (under the arm) or buccal
measurement (inside the cheek) and under the tongue (sublingual). The
