6. Some Useful Information

Is the temperature measured in the right ear different from that measured in the left ear?

Among healthy people, there should be no significant difference in the measurement results. Differences may be caused by the following reasons:

1)The infrared sensor is not inserted in the same way.

2)Measurement is not conducted by inserting the unit in a stable manner in the same angle. Try to measure in the ear that consistently shows a higher measurement.

The temperature shown is rather low.

1The probe cover is dirty.

2The infrared sensor is dirty.

3You removed the unit from the ear before the measurement is finished.

4The ear is cold. The temperature tends to indicate low when you use an ice bag or an ice pack, or immediately after coming in from the cold in winter.

5The thermometer is not inserted deep enough in the ear.
