his/her temperature and the room temperature must be moderate.
- Be aware of physiological variations in temperature which must be
taken into consideration when evaluating the results: temperature
increases by 0.5C° between 6am and 3pm. Women have a
temperature that is higher, on average, by around 0.2C°. Their
temperature also varies in accordance with their ovarian cycle. It
rises by 0.5C° in the second half of the cycle and at the early
stages of pregnancy.
- When sitting, temperature is lower by about 0.3 to 0.4C° than
when standing.
The reliability of the
measurement cannot
be guaranteed if the
temperature is meas-
ured over another part of the body (e.g.arm, torso…)
!
CONSTRAINTS
Please observe the following before any temperature measurement
to ensure a stable and reliable result:
- Push back hair from the forehead
- Wipe away any perspiration from the forehead
- Avoid any drafts (e.g. from nasal specs, air conditioning…)
- Allow a 1 minute interval between two measurements.
- Each time there is a significant change in the ambient temperature
due to a change in environment, to allow the RC008 to
acclimatise to this ambient temperature for at least 15 minutes
before using it.
