EAR & FOREHEAD THERMOMETER 201

1INTRODUCTION

The Ear & Forehead thermometer uses infrared technology to measure infrared energy emitted from the forehead or eardrum and surrounding tissue, and then converts it into temperature value.

2ABOUT BODY TEMPERATURE

Normal human body temperature fluctuates throughout the day; generally, lowest in the morning, highest in the evening.

Different parts of human body also have different temperatures. Therefore, the standards of measuring oral, axillary, rectal and ear temperatures are different. The human body temperature is controlled and adjusted by the hypothalamus in the brain. As the veins flow through the hypothalamus, they also flow through the ear-drum in the mid ear. Thus, measuring the ear temperature (the temperature of the ear drum membrane) can best reflect the body temperature.

Normal body temperature is a range, not a fixed value.

When using an IR ear thermometer to take temperature, the normal body temperature range is 35.8 °C - 38.0 °C. Also, people's normal temperature ranges tend to decrease with their age.

However, the normal range is also different from person to person. To determine your and your family members' normal temperature ranges is very important. It can be done easily by using our Infrared Thermometer. Please practice to take temperatures on yourself and your healthy family members to determine their normal temperature ranges.
