Overview Infrared Thermometer measures the body temperature based on the infrared energy quickly get measurement results after positioning properly the temperature probe in the ear canal or forehead. Normal body temperature is a range. The following tables shows that this normal range also varies by site. Therefore, readings from different site should not be directly compared. Tell your doctor what type of thermometer you used to take your temperature and on what part of the body. Also bear this in mind if you are diagnosing yourself.
Measurements
Forehead temperature
36.1 °C to 37.5 °C (97 °F to 99.5 °F )
Ear temperature
35.8 °C to 38 °C (96.4 °F to 100.4 °F)
Oral temperature
35.5 °C to 37.5 °C (95.9 °F to 99.5 °F )
Rectal temperature
36.6 °C to 38 °C (97.9 °F to 100.4 °F )
Axillary temperature
34.7 °C - 37.3 °C ( 94.5 °F -99.1 °F )
Structure The thermometer consists of a shell, an LCD, a measure button, a beeper, an infrared temperature sensor, and a Microprocessor.
Operating principle The infrared temperature sensor collects infrared energy emitted by the eardrum or the skin surface. After being focused by a lens, the energy converted into a temperature reading by the thermopiles and measurement circuits.
Indications for use The Dual-mode Infrared Thermometer is intended for the measurement of human body temperatures. The forehead mode is indicated for people of all ages and the eardrum mode is indicated for people above three months old.
Contraindications Do not use the thermometer if the ear is infected with otitis or suppuration.
