Do I have a fever?
The normal body core temperature varies from person to person and during
the day. Similarly, the body temperature drops with age but as a general
rule the normal body core temperature remains between 36.5 °C and 37.5
°C - lower for elderly people, higher for young people. Consequently, it is
a good idea to know your own normal body core temperature as a point
of reference.
The body core temperature of a healthy human being is additionally
influenced by the following factors:
•
The person’s individual temperature (individual metabolism)
•
Clothes
•
Outdoor temperature
•
Preceding physical activity
If insecurities arise concerning measurement interpretation or if abnormal
measurement readings occur, contact your doctor. Similarly with small tem-
perature deflections with concurrent symptoms such as sweating spells, skin

immersed in water, diluents, or other chemical liquids. Avoid using scouring
powder or other abrasive cleaners.

expiry date on the batteries. Remember to remove the batteries before
disposing of the product.
