About body temperature
measurement:
How does the thermometer
work?
The accurate measurement is obtained
by using a unique probe,
which
measures the heat flow from the
blood
vessels to the skin and converts
it
to body
temperature.
Information about Body Temperature
What is “normal” body temperature?
Blood
vessels
Energy
Flow
Skin
“Normal” body temperature varies from person to person, changes according to
time
6
of day and body location. Hot or cold baths, physical exercise, smoking and
drinking,
hot or cold drinks may change body temperature by one degree or
more.
The following table shows the temperature
ranges:

/ 95.4°F-99.0°F
*Fever definitions according to the American Medical Association
The thermometer is designed to measure the temperature in the forehead, in
proximity
to the temple area, between the eye socket and the hairline. It is important to
know
that the thermal characteristics of each measurement body location – temporal,
axillar,
oral or rectal - are unique. The variance in temperature measurement in different
body
locations is due to the human body and not the
thermometer.
IMPORTANT: It is recommended to measure the body temperature when
healthy to establish the specific “normal”
temperature
