Body temperature
• Normal body temperature is a range. The following table shows
that this normal range also varies by site. Therefore, readings from
different sites should not be directly compared.
Normal ranges by site:
1
Axillary :
1
Oral :
1
Rectal :
2
ThermoScan :
• However, the range of normal also varies from person to person
and fluctuates throughout the day. It is therefore important to
determine your and your family members' normal temperature
ranges. This is easily done using Braun ThermoScan. Practise
taking temperatures on yourself and healthy family members to
determine their normal temperature ranges.

Note: When consulting your physician, communicate that the
ThermoScan temperature is a temperature measured in the ear and
if possible, note the individual's normal ThermoScan temperature
range as an additional reference.
In case of questions, call Braun Infoline.
