Temperature taking hints
The right ear reading may differ from the reading
taken at the left ear. Therefore, always take the
temperature in the same ear.
Sleeping on an ear may cause the temperature
to be higher than normal. Therefore, wait a few
minutes if taking temperature after sleeping.
The ear must be free from obstructions or excess
earwax build-up to take an accurate reading.
Note: In the following situations, it is recom-
mended that you take three temperatures in the
same ear. If they differ, use the highest reading.
Infants in the first 90 days of life.
Children under three years of age who have
a condition such as a compromised immune
system and for whom the presence or absence
of fever is critical.
When you are first learning to use the ear
thermometer until you are comfortable with the
technique and are obtaining consistent readings.
Important: As with any type of thermometer, slight
temperature variations (± 0.2–0.3°C/± 0.3–0.5°F)
can occur, if consecutive measurements are taken.
