7.1 Measuring body temperature
WARNING
• 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 is often 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
