Some Useful Information 6.1 Temperature measurements taken within the ear The Gentle Temp 520 Digital 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 Gentle Temp 520 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 Gentle Temp 520 Digital Ear Thermometer offers fast, convenient and accurate readings without the delay of a conventional thermometer. EN 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. 6.2 Normal and raised temperature We recommend that you practice with the Gentle Temp 520 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. 17 6. Some Useful Information 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. Infrared sensor Infrared rays Eardrum/Measure point Eardrum External auditory canal In order to make a correct judgement of suspected fever conditions, it is important to learn the normal temperatures of family members by measuring their temperatures when they are in good physical condition. The temperature measured in the ear is different to that measured rectally. Please use the normal as the standard for understanding the temperature difference during fever. One speaks of normal body temperature if the measurement value lies within a certain range. Body temperature varies however according to age. 18 Age Normal ear temperature in °C and °F Babies 36.4°C - 37.5°C 97.5°F - 99.5°F Children 36.1°C - 37.5°C 97°F - 99.5°F Teens/Adults 35.9°C - 37.5°C 96.6°F - 99.5°F Elderly 35.8°C - 37.5°C 96.4°F - 99.5°F 6. Some Useful Information 6.3 Ear temperature compared to other types of body temperature The normal temperature varies according to different locations on the body. 6.4 EN Questions and answers How many times can I measure consecutively? You can measure consecutively up to three times. The main unit will then be warmed up and may not be able to measure correctly. If you are going to measure more than three times, wait for 10 minutes, then measure again. The temperature indicated is rather high. 1 2 The probe cover may be faulty. You may have used the thermometer that has been stored in a cool or cold place. Measure the temperature after leaving the unit in the room where you are going to use it for more than 30 minutes. If you store the unit in the room where you are going to measure the temperature, you can promptly use the thermometer. 19 6. Some Useful Information Is the temperature measured in the right ear different from that measured in the left ear? Among healthy people, there should be no significant difference in the measurement results. Differences may be caused by the following reasons: 1) The infrared sensor is not inserted in the same way. 2) Measurement is not conducted by inserting the unit in a stable manner in the same angle. Try to measure in the ear that consistently shows a higher measurement. The temperature shown is rather low. 1 2 3 4 5 20 The probe cover is dirty. The infrared sensor is dirty. You removed the unit from the ear before the measurement is finished. The ear is cold. The temperature tends to indicate low when you use an ice bag or an ice pack, or immediately after coming in from the cold in winter. The thermometer is not inserted deep enough in the ear.
