Q & A - FEVER

What is Fever?

Fever is one of the body's defence mechanisms. When bacteria or viruses get into your body and cause it to malfunction, the body goes on the defensive and your immune system is activated. When this happens, a central nerve in the brain allows the heat generated inside the body to be turned up from the usually constant level. This higher temperature level increases the metabolism and prevents the increase of pathogenic agents.

What is the “normal temperature”?

Normal temperature" is usually around 37 °C (98,6 °F). However, normal temperature is not the same for every individual. Temperature can vary with age, and even time of day. Usually it is lowest in the morning, highest in the afternoon and somewhat lower at bedtime.

Why measure body temperature?

It is of great medical importance to measure body temperature. The reason is that a number of diseases are accompanied by characteristic changes in body temperature. Likewise, the course of certain diseases can be monitored by measuring body temperature, and the efficiency of a treatment initiated can be evaluated by the physician. Fever is a reaction to disease-specific stimuli, where the set point of the temperature control centre is varied to promote the body's defences against the disease process. Fever is the most common form of pathological (disease- related) elevation on body temperature.

How accurate are thermometer measurements?

Essentially a distinction must be made between the technical accuracy of the thermometer itself and the clinical accuracy in use in taking a temperature. The former is determined under idealized conditions to guarantee the quality of the instrument, taking the relevant technical standards into account. An accuracy of +/- 0.1°C can be considered state of the art for high-grade thermometers. The user must not confuse technical accuracy with this accuracy in use. The human body temperatures described here, which depend on the measurement location and time, are due to physiological causes and are not due to a thermometer malfunction.

Where should I take the temperature?

Rectal

The most reliable core temperature is obtained by inserting a thermometer into the rectum (rectal measurement). This measurement is accurate and has low scattering in the results. The normal range is approximately 36.2oC -37.7oC.

Vaginal

In women, vaginal temperature measurement yields a slight underestimate of temperature by an average of 0.1°C to 0.3°C in comparison with a rectal measurement with comparable stability.

Ear

Ear thermometers measure the temperature of the eardrum with an infrared sensor. The tip of the thermometer is simply positioned in the ear channel and results are obtained in one second! Next to its convenience this method is very reliable if accuracy can be proven by a clinical validation. Well-designed ear thermometers perform very accurately without great scattering in results. An optimised tip shape is the basis for reliable data obtained with infants and babies.

Oral

The oral measurement can be performed as buccal measurement (in the cheek) or as a sublingual measurement (under the tongue). Both measurements underestimate the rectal temperature by approximately 0.3°C - 0.8° C, with the sublingual measurement being preferable to the buccal.

Forehead

Forehead thermometers offer the least intrusive and therefore most comfortable way to measure body temperature. Simply place the thermometer onto the patient's forehead and an infrared sensor detects the peak reading, while a second sensor measures the ambient temperature. The difference in these readings is analysed, and according to clinically established offsets, a body temperature reading is determined and displayed on the LCD.

Armpit

Body surface temperature measurements used clinically in practice are in the arm pit (axillary measurement) and in the groin. In both cases the respective limb is pressed against the body in order to reduce any ambient temperature influence. However, this is successful only to a limited extent with the disadvantage that the measurement time is long. In adults, the axillary measurement is lower than the rectal by approximately 0.5°C to 1.5°C! In infants, these underestimates in comparison with the rectal temperature are much smaller.

What is important when taking temperature?

Essentially, it is true that the measured body temperature always depends on where it is measured. Therefore, contrary to popular consensus, there is no simple "normal temperature. Furthermore, a healthy person's body temperature will vary with activity and time during the day. In a rectal temperature measurement, a typical temperature difference of 0.5°C between the higher evening temperatures is physiological. Body temperature is typically elevated after physical activity. Roughly speaking, a distinction is made between a core temperature and a surface, where the surface temperature is measured at the skin surface and is a mixed temperature between the body's core temperature and the ambient temperature. The core temperature is measured by inserting a thermometer into a body cavity, which yields the temperature of the mucous tissue.

Quick Guide

How to Use

• Push the On/Off button by the display window. The display will read for 2 seconds and beep sound will be heard.
• Releasing the on/off button, last measured temperature will be shown for about 2 seconds. Then shows the self-test temperature 37.0°C (98.6°F) .And then Lo°C (Lo°F) displays.
• Wipe or dip the probe with alcohol for disinfection. Position the probe in oral, rectal, axillary etc. For oral use, please put the sensor into the position marked by “√” according to the picture. To insure the accuracy, please keep the mouth dosed for 5 minutes before testing.
  • If the temperature <37.8°C (100.0°F), the buzzer will alarm “Bi---Bi---Bi---Bi---”.
  • If the temperature ≥ 37.8°C (100.0°F), the buzzer whose frequency is higher will alarm “Bi-Bi-Bi----Bi-Bi-Bi--” about 10 times rather than ”Bi---Bi---Bi---Bi---”
• Once the degree sign °C (°F) on the display has stopped flashing (usually within 30 to 60 seconds), an alarm signal will sound for approx. 10 seconds, the measured temperature is shown on LCD window. The temperature reading will not change after the unit is removed from testing position.
• The unit will automatically turn off in 10 minutes for energy-saving. However, to prolong the life of the battery, it is suggested to press the On/Off button to turn the unit off once the measurement is done.
• Please dispose of any used battery and the thermometer according to the law.

Note: After step 2, if the room temperature is greater than 32.0°C (89.6°F ), it will be displayed the room temperature.

Note: Usage of the probe cover may result in a 0.1°C (0.2°F) difference from actual temperature.

Note: To clean the probe before and after using the thermometer to ensure an accurate reading and avoid cross contamination approximately.

Oral Use

1. Place the probe well under the patient’s tongue.
2. Confirm the patient to keep his mouth closing for about 1 minute.

Note: The normal temperature by this method is 35.7°C ~ 37.3°C (96.3°F ~ 99.1°F).

Rectal Use

1. Lubricate the probe with the petroleum jelly for easier insertion.
2. Gently insert the probe about one centimeter (less than 1/2 inch.) into the patient’s rectum for about 1 minute.

Note: A normal temperature by this method is about 36.2°C ~ 37.7°C (97.2°F ~ 99.9°F).

Axillary Use

1. Wipe armpit with a dry towel.
2. Place probe in the patient’s armpit and keep the patient’s arm pressed firmly against his side for about 1 minute.

Note: A normal temperature by this method is 35.2°C ~ 36.7°C (95.4°F~ 98.1°F).

Cleaning and Disinfection

1. Clean the unit by wiping it with a dry cloth and sterilize the probe with ethyl alcohol.
2. Don’t let the unit contact any chemical thinner.
3. Not waterproof. Do not soak the display in water. Only the probe is waterproof.

Cautions

• If the unit is stored in an extreme environment before measurement, please make sure it has been firstly adapted in the room temperature, so that the unit can be measured normally.
• Please note that this is a home healthcare product only, and it is not intended to serve as a substitute for the advice of a physician or medical professional.
• Do not use this device for diagnosis or treatment of any health problem on disease. Measurement results are for reference only. Contact your physician if you have or suspect any medical problems.
• Do not change your medications without the advice of your physician or healthcare professional.
• Do not drink hot or cold fluids, exercise, and smoke or perform other activities prior to a reading. These activities will raise or lower temperature readings when compared to your normal, average temperature.
• Please ensure the close contact between the probe and the armpit of the baby or children.
