4TO INTERPRET MEASURED RESULTS

4.1 Temperature measurements taken within the ear

The GentleTemp 510® instant ear thermometer detects the infrared heat given off by the eardrum and surrounding tissues, and it converts this heat into an equivalent ear temperature.

The GentleTemp 510® is less threatening to a child than a rectal thermometer. It’s faster, safer and easier to use than an oral thermometer. Being digital, there’s no worry about the hazard of broken glass or mercury ingestion. Measurements can even be taken while a child is sleeping.

For adults, the GentleTemp 510® Instant Ear Thermometer offers fast, convenient and accurate readings without the delay of a conventional thermometer.

Clinical research has shown that the ear is an ideal site for taking body temperature. The eardrum shares blood vessels with the hypothalamus, the part of the brain that controls body temperature. Therefore, the ear is an accurate indicator of internal (core) body temperature. An ear temperature, unlike an oral temperature, is unaffected by factors such as talking, drinking, and smoking.

4.2 Normal and raised temperature

We recommend that you practice with the GentleTemp 510® on yourself and family members.

This way you can improve your technique and feel more confident of the measurements you take when a family member is ill. You will also be able to tell when a reading is higher than normal.

As ambient temperature, sweat, or saliva easily affects body temperature measured under the arm or the tongue, readings may be lower than the core temperature.

Tympanic temperature measurement accurately reflects the brain temperature and can lead to a quicker detection of fever.
