Thermometers Are an Essential Part of Every Home Medicine Cabinet
Medicine offers countless indicators to assess health — one of the most fundamental is body temperature. Normally ranging between 36.3°C and 37.4°C, it can be measured using classic thermometers placed under the arm, orally, or rectally. Modern thermometers, available from medisana, also offer convenient infrared technology for taking readings from the ear or forehead.
If speed and comfort are your priority, you’ll find a selection of modern thermometers in our online shop — always ready when you need them. These advanced models are particularly helpful when taking the temperature of children, who often resist traditional thermometers. Ear or forehead readings, on the other hand, are quick and nearly unnoticeable.
Thermometers: Tips & Tricks for Accurate Readings
Taking a person’s temperature is one of the most effective ways to check for fever — but accuracy is key. Especially in diagnosis and treatment, precise readings matter. Here are a few important tips for reliable results:
- Choose the right thermometer: From digital to ear, forehead, and rectal thermometers — select based on your needs, desired precision, and the patient’s age.
- Use the correct placement: For rectal measurements, insert gently into the anus; for oral readings, place under the tongue; and for underarm use, keep the arm close to the body.
- Respect the timing: Digital thermometers take about 10–30 seconds, while traditional mercury ones may need 3–5 minutes. Always follow the recommended duration.
- Repeat if necessary: If results seem unusually high or doubtful, take a second reading to confirm accuracy.
- Consider external factors: Physical activity, eating, or drinking can influence readings. Always measure in a calm state for best results.
With the right thermometer, proper placement, correct timing, and awareness of influencing factors, you can ensure reliable measurements every time.
