3.4 Measurement

3.4.1 What is ‘Normal’ temperature

Normal human body temperature is a concept that depends on the place in the body at which the measurement is made. The value

of 36.8 °C ± 0.7 °C is the common oral measurement. Rectal measurements, or measurements taken directly inside the body cavity

are typically about a half degree Celsius higher. The body temperature of an individual also tends to vary during the day and with

activity level, with the lowest value in the middle of the sleep cycle.

3.5 Rectal use:

Commonly used for babies, young children or when it is difficult to take an oral or underarm temperature.

• Clean your digital thermometer tip (1 and 2) by wiping it with soap and water or 70% isopropyl Alcohol before use.

• Lubricate the probe with water-solvable jelly. Do not use petroleum jelly like Vaseline for easier insertion.

• Press the ON/OFF button (4), the unit will beep and the screen will display for about 3 seconds.

• The screen will show the last measured temperature or Lo °C. The Lo with the flashing °C indicates that the thermometer is

ready to use.

• Insert the probe in the rectum about 1 cm until the temperature stabilizes.

– Normal temperature is 37,6°C

• Measurement time usually takes approximately 10 seconds, but sometimes it takes longer, depending on the body size.

• When the peak temperature stabilizes you will hear a beep for 4 seconds to indicate the measurement is ready.

• The thermometer auto shuts-off after 10 minutes.

3.6 Oral use

For children of 4 years and older.

Do not drink hot or cold fluids, exercise or perform other activities that will raise or lower temperature readings when compared to

your normal, average temperature. The mouth should remain closed up to 5 minutes before attempting a reading.

• Press the ON/OFF button (4), the unit will beep and the screen will display for about 3 seconds.

• The screen will show the last measured temperature or Lo °C. The Lo with the flashing °C indicates that the thermometer is

ready to use.

• Place the probe tip well under the tongue. Instruct children not to bite down on the probe.

• The peak temperature should be reached in approximately 10 seconds. Opening the mouth could result in a longer time for a

reading.

– Normal temperature is 37°C

3.7 Axillary use

• Press the ON/OFF button (4), the unit will beep and the screen will display for about 3 seconds.

• The screen will show the last measured temperature or Lo °C. The Lo with the flashing °C indicates that the thermometer is

ready to use.

• Wipe your armpit with a dry towel and place the probe under the armpit. The thermometer should be pointing upward in the

same direction as your body if possible. Keep you arm closed until the temperature stabilizes.

• The peak temperature should be reached in approximately 10 seconds.

– Normal temperature is 36,6°C

Oral, underarm and rectal temperatures vary by approximately 0.5°C.

It is suggested that a rectal used thermometer is separated from an axillary or oral used

thermometer because of hygienic reason.
