GentleTemp 510 English
4 TO INTERPRET MEASURED RESULTS
4.1 Temperature measurements taken within the ear
The GentleTemp 510
®
instant ear thermometer detects the infrared heat
given off by the eardrum and surrounding tissues, and it converts this heat
into an equivalent ear temperature.
The GentleTemp 510
®
is less threatening to a child than a rectal
thermometer. It’s faster, safer and easier to use than an oral thermometer.
Being digital, there’s no worry about the hazard of broken glass or mercury
ingestion. Measurements can even be taken while a child is sleeping.
For adults, the GentleTemp 510
®
Instant Ear Thermometer offers fast,
convenient and accurate readings without the delay of a conventional
thermometer.
Clinical research has shown that the ear is an ideal site for taking body
temperature. The eardrum shares blood vessels with the hypothalamus,
the part of the brain that controls body temperature. Therefore, the ear is an
accurate indicator of internal (core) body temperature. An ear temperature,
unlike an oral temperature, is unaffected by factors such as talking, drinking,
and smoking.
4.2 Normal and raised temperature
We recommend that you practice with the GentleTemp 510
®
on yourself and
family members.
This way you can improve your technique and feel more confident of the
measurements you take when a family member is ill. You will also be able
to tell when a reading is higher than normal.
As ambient temperature, sweat, or saliva easily
affects body temperature measured under the arm
or the tongue, readings may be lower than the core
temperature.
Tympanic temperature measurement accurately
reflects the brain temperature and can lead to a
quicker detection of fever.
