Temperature Taking Hints

1. The right ear reading may differ from the reading taken at the left
ear. Therefore, always take the temperature in the same ear.
2. The ear must be free from obstructions or excess earwax buildup
to take an accurate reading.
3. External factors may influence ear temperatures such as:
• lying on one ear or the other
• having had the ears covered up
• having been exposed to very hot or very cold temperatures
• having been recently swimming or bathing.
In these cases, remove the individual from the situation and wait
20 minutes prior to taking a temperature.
4. For persons wearing hearing aids or ear plugs, remove the device
and wait 20 minutes prior to taking a temperature.
5. When using the thermometer on infants under age 1, pull the ear
up making sure the sensor faces the eardrum.
(See Figure 5)
6. When using the thermometer on individuals over the age of 1,
pull the ear back making sure the sensor faces the eardrum.
(See Figure 6).
