Practical Considerations When Taking Temperature
• To ensure accurate temperature measurements, it
is essential that each user has received adequate
information about the device and its proper use.
• Take temperature in a neutral context. The patient must
not have undertaken vigorous physical activity prior to
temperature measurement. Also the room temperature
should be moderate 10°C to 40°C (50°F to 104°F) .
• When evaluating results consider the potential for daily
variations in temperature:
