When Taking a Reading
In order to ensure that precise and accurate temperature measurements are obtained via
your
Activ8rlives
Contactless Thermometer
Bluetooth 4.0, it is essential that each user have
received adequate information and training in the temperature measurement technique
when using such a device.
It is essential to remember that although the procedure such as taking your
temperature may be simple, it must not be trivialised.
Body temperature should be taken in a neutral context, i.e. the person must not have
undertaken vigorous physical activity prior to taking their temperature and room
temperature must be moderate (i.e. 10
-40
C).
Be aware of physiological variations in temperature which must be taken into
consideration when evaluating the results:.
Temperature increases by 0.5
C between 6am to 3pm.
Women have a temperature a little higher, on average, by around 0.2
C.
Women’s temperatures also varies in accordance with their ovarian menstrual cycle
and the early stages of pregnancy, rising by 0.5
C.
When sitting, your temperature is lower by about 0.3
C to 0.4
C than when standing.
Use on Infants?
Yes it can be used for infants because it does not require contact so it is more readily
tolerated by young infants and babies.
