5-
Second 3-Way Digital Thermometer. This
thermometer will provide you with safe, quick, and
accurate temperature readings.
Our thermometer is designed to measure body
temperature in three ways – orally, rectally, or
under the arm (axillary). It will provide you with
an oral or rectal reading in 5 seconds and an
axillary reading in 20 seconds. Please keep in
mind that body temperatures will differ based on
a person’s age and the time of day it is taken. If
you are monitoring your child’s temperature, please
be sure to use the same method of measurement
when comparing several readings.
Important: the use of this thermometer should
not replace a visit to your doctor. It is
recommended that you advise your doctor
any time a temperature is above 100˚F/37.8˚C.

Temperature Ranges
Normal body temperature varies from person to
person and depends on factors such as age,
gender, physical activity, environmental
temperature, and time of day. Normal oral
temperatures may range from 95.9˚F/35.5˚C to
100.4˚F/37.8˚C. An oral temperature can also
be as much as 0.9˚F/0.5˚C lower than a rectal
reading and 0.9˚F/0.5˚C higher than an axillary
reading. Please keep this in mind when monitoring
your child’s temperature.
Instructions
Please follow these instructions to insure the most
accurate reading possible.
