6. What you should know about using this thermometer
There are diff erent thermometers for taking temperature measurements in diff erent parts of the body:
• Ear/forehead thermometer (this thermometer, for measuring in the ear or on the forehead area)
• Rod thermometer (for rectal [in the back passage], axillary [under the arm] or oral measurement [in the mouth])
Taking the temperature gives a measurement that provides information about a person’s current body tempera-
ture. If you are uncertain about interpreting the results or if the value is abnormal, please consult your doctor.
This also applies in the case of slight temperature changes if there are other symptoms of illness such as agita-
tion, severe sweating, fl ushed skin, fast pulse rate, tendency to collapse, etc.
Temperatures measured with diff erent thermometers cannot be compared with one another. You should there-
fore tell your doctor (or bear in mind if you are diagnosing yourself) what thermometer you used to take your
temperature and in what part of the body.
The temperature of a healthy person is infl uenced by various factors: individual metabolic rate, which depends
on the person, age (body temperature of infants and small children is higher and decreases as they age). Greater
temperature fl uctuations occur faster and more often in children, e.g. due to growth spurts), their clothing, the
ambient temperature, the time of day (body temperature is lower in the morning and increases throughout the
day towards evening), the preceding physical and, to a lesser extent, mental activity.
