How Does it Work?

This thermometer is based on R.A.T.E™ (Rapid, Accurate, Temperature,
Establishment) technology. The accurate measurement is obtained by
using a unique probe, which measures the heat flow from the blood
vessels to the skin and converts it to body temperature.

Body Temperature

What is "normal" body temperature? "Normal" body temperature
varies from person to person and changes according to time of day and
body location. Hot or cold baths, physical exercise, smoking and
drinking hot or cold drinks may change body temperature by one degree
or more.
The following table shows the temperature ranges:
Forehead Over 100.0°F / 37.8°C 97.0°F - 100.0°F / 36.1°C – 37.8°C
Rectal* Over 100.4°F / 38°C
Oral * Over 100.0°F / 37.8°C 97.0°F - 100.0°F / 36.1°C – 37.8°C
