Note: The temperature measurement yields a measure-
ment value which provides information on an individual‘s
current body temperature.
If you are unsure how to interpret the results or abnor-
mal values appear, you should consult your physician.
This also applies for lower temperature changes if
other symptoms are present i.e. restlessness, excessive
sweating, skin redness, high pulse rate, tendency to
collapse, etc.
Temperatures measured using different thermometers
cannot be compared with each other. Therefore, you
should tell your doctor (or consider, for self-diagnosis)
which thermometer you used to measure your body
temperature and in which part of the body.
The temperature of a healthy person is influenced by
many different factors: their individual metabolism
which varies from person to person, age (body temper-
ature is higher for infants and toddlers and decreases
with age. For children, higher temperature fluctuations
occur more readily and more frequently due to growth
spurts, for example), clothing, external temperature,
time of day (body temperature is lower in the morning
and increases throughout the day and in the evening),
physical, and to a limited extent, mental activity.
The temperature value varies depending on the part
of the body it is being measured from. For healthy
