INTRODUCTION
This Alecto thermometer is a digital thermometer
developed to take your temperature as simply and
accurately as possible. In order to get the most reliable
results, these instructions must be followed accurately.
For the most accurate temperature reading, we
recommend using the thermometer rectally. Although
the generally accepted ‘normal’ temperature is 37.0°C,
body temperature can vary from 36.1°C to 37.2°C.
Fluctuations in temperature can be due to activities
such as sports, smoking, eating and drinking, and also
depend on the part of the body where the temperature
is taken. When measured orally, the body temperature
is generally 0.5°C lower than when measured rectally,
while a temperature measured under the armpit is 1.0°C
lower. Your temperature is lower in the morning than in
the evening.
