Tips
for Measuring
Human Temperature
Bear in mind that the thermometer needs to have been
in the room in which the measurement is taken for at
least 30 minutes before use.
•Some people produce different readings in their left
and right ear. In order to record temperature
changes, always measure a person’s temperature in
the same ear.
•The ear thermometer may be used by children only
under adult supervision. Measurement is usually
possible over the age of 6 months. In infants under 6
months, the ear canal is still very narrow so the
temperature of the eardrum often cannot be recorded
and the result displayed isoften too low.
•The measurement must not be taken in an ear
affected by inflammatory diseases (e.g. discharging
pus or secretion), after possible ear injuries (e.g.
eardrum damage) or in the healing period after
operative procedures. In all of these cases, please
consult your doctor.
•Use of the thermometer on different persons can be
inappropriate in the event of certain acute infectious
diseases because of the possible spread of germs
despite cleaning and disinfection. If you have any
doubts, please consult your doctor.
•This thermometer may only be used without a
disposable protective cover.
•If
you have been lying on one ear for some time, the
temperature is slightly raised. Wait a little while or
measure in the other ear.
•As ear wax can affect the measurement, you should
clean the ear before measuring if necessary.
