NORMAL BODY TEMPERATURE & FEVER

Body temperature can vary from 97°F and 100.4°F and still be considered normal.
The medically accepted ‘normal’ body temperature is 98.6°F. Body temperature is
commonly lower in the morning than at any point during the rest of an
individual’s waking hours.

Temperature readings will vary based on the body location point of the reading.
Average ‘normal’ temperature ranges by measurement location site:

Forehead 97.0°F–100.0°F (36.1°C–37.8°C) Oral 97.0°F–100.0°F (36.1°C–37.8°C)
Rectal 97.3°F–100.4°F (36.3°C–38.0°C) Axillary 95.4°F–99.0°F (35.2°C–37.2°C)

A fever is dened as a body temperature that is elevated above the normal for that
person. It is important to determine what is normal for an individual before
determining if a fever is present. Tracking an individual’s temperature on a
consistent basis, at the same body site and at the same time everyday when the
person is well or healthy, will help determine an individual’s normal temperature.

HOW THE TEMPLE TOUCH
THERMOMETER WORKS

Patented R.A.T.E.™ technology utilizes a
unique sensor which rapidly samples the heat
owing from the blood vessels to the skin’s
surface. The measurements are then
converted to a comparable body temperature.

GUIDELINES FOR TEMPLE THERMOMETERS

This thermometer is designed to measure the temperature at the forehead, in
proximity to the temple area between the end of the eyebrow and the hairline.
This model is also suitable for underarm measurements. Consult the ‘TAKING YOUR
MEASUREMENT’ section of this manual for detail instructions for each
measurement site.

• Do not place the thermometer on scar tissue, skin disorder, open sores or
abrasions or patients in trauma.

• Consult your physician when using drug therapies that may elevate skin
temperature in the forehead.

• Do not use skin exposed to direct sunlight, replace heat, air conditioner or
fan air ow, or hot/cold compress therapies.

• WAIT A LEAST TWO MINUTES BETWEEN MEASUREMENTS TO ALLOW
THE UNIT SENSOR TO READJUST TO ROOM TEMPERATURE.

• If the thermometer has been stored in an excessively cold or warm
environment, allow the thermometer to adjust to the ambient room
temperature before use. Performance and operation of this unit may be
compromised if operated outside of the specied temperature and humidity
operating ranges.
