Note: Always disinfect the thermometer before use.
Note: In Step 2, if the room temperature is greater than 90.0°F (32.0°C), it will be displayed rather than
Lo°F (°C).
Note: In Step 3, you may put a sanitary plastic probe shield on the sensor tip to help prevent cross
infection and contamination. Use of the probe cover may result in a 0.2°F (0.1°C) difference from actual
temperature. Dispose of any used probe shield and store the thermometer in a safe place.
Reliable Methods to Measure Temperature
Measuring Body Temperature:Changeinbodytemperatureisoneofthemostimportantindicatorsof
illness.Itisimportantthataccuratetemperaturesbetaken.Eventhoughthedigitalthermometerisused
insimilarmannertotheglassthermometer,instructionsforuseofthisthermometermustbefollowed
closely,andthepersontakingthetemperaturemustunderstandbodytemperature.
Body Temperature:Apersons’sbodytemperatureisusuallyseveraltenthstoonefulldegreelowerin
themorningthaninthelateafternoon.Therefore,ifyourtemperatureinthemorningis97.9°F(36.6°C),it
couldbe98.4°F(36.9°C)ormoreinthelateafternoonandstillbenormal.Todeterminewhatyournormal
bodytemperatureis,youshouldtakeyourtemperaturebothintheearlymorningandlateafternoonover
severaldays.Childrenhavethesamenormaltemperaturerangeasadults.Afeverborbothchildrenand
adultsintypicallydenedasanoraltemperaturehigherthan99.5°F(37.5°C).Exercise,excessivecloth-
ing,hotbath,hotweather,andwarmfoodanddrinkcancausemildelevationsofupto100.4°F(38°C)

possiblecauseandretakethetemperatureinhalfanhour.
Oral Use
Placetheprobewellunderthepatient’stongue.Instructthepatientto
keeptheirmouthclosedwhilethethermometerismeasuring.Anormal
oraltemperatureisusuallyconsideredtobebetween96.8°F–98.6°F
(36.0°C–37.5°C).
Rectal Use
Ifrectaltemperatureisrecommendedbyyourdoctor,youmayuseaprobecover.Insertthermometer
tipintotheprobecover.Lubricatetheprobecoverwithawatersolublejellyforeasierinsertion.Donot
usepetroleumjelly.Inserttipofprobenomorethan½inchintorectum.Stopifyoumeetanyresistance.
Thesensingdeviceisontheverytipoftheprobeandthereisnoneedtoinserttheprobedeepinto
therectum.Rectaltemperatureisusuallyapproximately1.0°F–2.0°F(0.5°C–1.0°C)higherthanoral
temperature.
Axillary Use (Armpit)
Wipearmpitwithadrytowel.Placeprobeinthepatient’sarmpitandkeepthepatient’sarmpressedrmly
againsttheirside.Axillarytemperatureisusuallyapproximately1.0°F–2.0°F(0.5°C–1.0°C)lowerthan
oraltemperature.Note:Inordertoachievebetteraxillarytemperaturemeasurementresult,aminimum
measuringtimeof3-5minutesisrecommendedregardlessofthebeepsound.
Note: Children should be attended by an adult during the entire temperature recording process. After
use, the digital thermometer should be stored in a safe place, out of the reach of children. If you compare
temperatures between two thermometers, it is possible to have two different readings, even if both
thermometers are within their accuracy tolerances. Differences in how you take each reading and the
thermometer’s tolerance range can account for nearly 0.2°F (0.1°C) variability.
Remember: Find your normal temperature and watch for changes.
