ferent parts of the body.

Beurer tip
• Temperatures measured with different thermometers should never be compared with
one another.
• Tell your doctor what type of thermometer you used to take your body temperature and
on what part of the body. Also bear this in mind if you are diagnosing yourself.
Holding the thermometer in your hand for too long before taking a measurement can cause
the device to warm up. This means the measurement could be incorrect.
