Some Useful Information

How the No-Touch Forehead Thermometer Works

This unit measures the temperature at the surface of the forehead by sensing infrared emission of the skin at the measured 
point, and then calculates the oral-equivalent value using a unique algorithm based on actual body temperature survey data.

About Body Temperature

Body temperature

 refers to the stable temperature of the inner body (also known as 

core body temperature

). While 

temperature measurements at the armpit or mouth provides surface temperature values, holding the thermometer steadily at 
the measurement point for approx. 10 minutes provides a temperature measurement more closely representing that of core 
body temperature.
Since forehead temperature measurement involves no bodily support of the thermometer, the resulting measured 
temperature is typically lower than that of the armpit or mouth. 
However, since the forehead has blood vessels that are much less prone to vascular constriction (a natural function of body 
temperature adjustment), it is supposedly a better measurement area for determining core body temperature, even in a lower 
temperature environment. By contrast, temperature measured at the arm or leg, for example, is not a suitable gauge of core 
body temperature, since such body areas are more subject to vascular constriction.
(Note that temperature measured at the forehead may still be influenced by other conditions, such as sweating, or wind from 
an air conditioner, etc. It is therefore advised to perform measurement in as stable an environment as possible.)

When measuring the temperature of an infant, note that infant body temperature is generally higher than adult body 
temperature and easily affected by external factors. For example, body temperature tends to increase after nursing or crying. 
Therefore, it is recommended to take measurements with the infant in calm and normal condition.
