Body Temperature - Chicco Easy Touch Manual De Instrucciones

Easy Touch
Dear user, thank you for purchasing
our product!
This thermometer was designed by a
very experienced group of engineers
and was produced in conformance to
all the applicable European Standards.
The thermometer measures the in-
frared emission from the forehead
surface and converts these measure-
ments into an oral equivalent tem-
perature.
Keep the product away from children
and don't leave the children alone
while taking measurement. This
thermometer contains small parts
which could be accidentally eaten by
children.
In case of doubts or temperature rise,
consult your doctor

BODY TEMPERATURE

Like blood pressure, body tempera-
ture varies from person to person
and undergoes different fluctua tions
during the course of the day, running
approx imately from 35,5°C to 37,8°C
(95,9°F – 100°F). For these reasons, to
correctly determine the temperature
it is suggested to know one's normal,
healthy forehead temperature at vari-
ous times of the day. This will provide
a valid reference when evaluating any
real rise in temperature. To deter mine
if one has a fever, compare the tem-
perature detected with the person's
normal temperature. Remember, a
rise over the reference body temper-
ature of 1°C (1,8°F) or more is gen-
erally indication of fever. More than
this, different measurement sites
(rectal, axillary, oral, frontal, auricular)
will give different readings and it is
hard to make cor relations which are
significant and objectively valid for
each person. It is therefore absolutely
normal that body temperature taken
orally will be different from an axil-
lary measurement and it is wrong to
compare the two. Here below typical
temperatures for adults, based on dif-
ferent measurement sites:
- Rectal: 36,6 – 38°C / 97,9 – 100,4° F
- Axillary: 34,7 – 37,3°C / 94,5 – 99,1° F
- Oral: 35,5 – 37,5°C / 95,9 – 99,5° F
- Auricular:35,8 – 38°C / 96,4 – 100,4° F
HOW TO MEASURE
TEMPERATURE
Precautions
• The thermometer compensates the
reading of the forehead's tempera-
ture based on the room's tempera-
ture. For this reason, to optimise the
result, before taking the reading, the
thermom eter should be at least 20-
25 minutes in the room where the
temperature will be measured and
the person whose temperature is
being taken should be in the same
room for 5 minutes before the meas-
urement. Avoid direct sunlight, fire-
place heat and direct air conditioner
