Temperature taking hints
It is important to know each individual's normal temperature when they are well. This is the
only way to accurately diagnose a fever. Take multiple readings when healthy to determine
normal temperature.
A child's normal temperature can be as high as 37.7 °C (99.9 °F) or as low as 36.1 °C (97.0 °F). Be
sure to note this unit reads 0.5 °C (0.9 °F) lower than a rectal digital measurement.
Before having temperature measured, individuals should be indoors for at least 30 minutes.
Hold the thermometer flush against the forehead and swipe slowly from above the eyebrow
down to the temple, and back again. Swiping too slow or too fast may impact your reading.
Swipe down the temple to the ear and back again. Use the beeps to help pace your swiping so
that you are in the starting position when the long beep is heard.
DO NOT remove the thermometer from the forehead before hearing the final beep.
Nursing mothers should not take a temperature measurement on themselves or have their
temperature measured by another individual while or immediately after nursing a baby, as
nursing can affect body temperature.
DO NOT use the TempleSwipe™ Thermometer in high humidity environments.
Individuals should not drink, eat, or be physically active before/while taking the measurement.
Before placing the thermometer sensor onto the forehead, remove dirt, hair, or sweat.
Use an alcohol swab to carefully clean the sensor and wait for 5 minutes before taking a
measurement on another Individual. Wiping the forehead with a warm or cool cloth may
impact your reading. It is advised to wait 15 minutes before taking a reading.
ALWAYS take the temperature in the same location, since the temperature readings may vary
from different locations on the forehead.
In the following situations, it is recommended that three temperatures be taken and the
highest one used as the reading:
• Infants within the first 100 days of their birth.
• Children under three years of age with a compromised immune system and for whom the
presence or absence of fever is critical.
