4. Information about this thermometer

The temperature measurement varies depending on the part of the body where the measurement is taken. In a healthy person, the variance can be between 0.2°C and 1°C (0.4°F and 1.8°F) in different parts of the body. Normal temperature range with various thermometers: Measurements Thermometer used Forehead temperature 35.8°C to 37.6°C (96.4°F to 99.7 °F) Forehead thermometer Ear temperature 36.0°C to 37.8°C (06.8°F to 100.0°F) Ear thermometer Oral temperature 36.0°C to 37.4°C (96.8°F to 99.3°F) Conventional thermometer Rectal temperature 36.3°C to 37.8°C (07.3°F to 100.0°F) Conventional thermometer Beurer tip & + Temperatures measured with different thermometers should never be compared with one another. + Tel your doctor winat type of thermometer you used to take your temperature and on what part of the body. Also bear this in mind if you are diagnosing yourself. AN Molina the termometern your hand for 00 long before taking a measurement can cause the device o warm up. This means the measurement could be incorrect.

Influences on body temperature + A persons individual metabolism + Age Body temperature is higher in babies and toddlers than in aduits. Greater temperature fluctuations occur faster and more often in children. Normal body temperature decreases with age. + Clothing + Outside temperature + Time of day Body temperature is lower in the moming and increases throughout the day towards evening. Activities + Physical and, to a lesser extent, mental activities increase body temperature. Beurer tip Taking the body temperature provides a current measurement of a person's temperature. 1f you are uncertain about in- terpreting the results or if the values are abnormal (e.g. fever), please consult your doctor. This also applies in the case of slight temperature changes if there are other symptoms of ilness such as agitation, heavy sweating, flushed skin, fast puise rate, tendency to collapse, etc.
