Normal Body Temperature And Fever; How Temple Thermometers Work - Veridian Healthcare 09-332 Instrucciones

NORMAL BODY TEMPERATURE & FEVER
Body temperature can vary from 97°F and 100.4°F and still be considered normal.
The medically accepted 'normal' body temperature is 98.6°F. Body temperature is
commonly lower in the morning than at any point during the rest of an
individual's waking hours.
Temperature readings will vary based on the body location point of the reading.
Average 'normal' temperature ranges by measurement location site:
Forehead 97.0°F–100.0°F (36.1°C–37.8°C) Oral
Rectal 97.3°F–100.4°F (36.3°C–38.0°C) Axillary 95.4°F–99.0°F (35.2°C–37.2°C)
A fever is defined as a body temperature that is elevated above the normal for that
person. It is important to determine what is normal for an individual before
determining if a fever is present. Tracking an individual's temperature on a
consistent basis, at the same body site and at the same time everyday when the
person is well or healthy, will help determine an individual's normal temperature.

HOW TEMPLE THERMOMETERS WORK

RAPID ACCURATE TEMPERATURE ESTABLISHMENT R.A.T.E.™
97.0°F–100.0°F (36.1°C–37.8°C)
HOW THE TEMPLE TOUCH
THERMOMETER WORKS
Patented R.A.T.E.™ technology utilizes a
unique sensor which rapidly samples the heat
flowing from the blood vessels to the skin's
surface. The measurements are then
converted to a comparable body temperature.
