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:

Axillary:
Oral:
Rectal:
ThermoScan:
• As well, a person's normal temperature range tends to decrease
with age. The following table shows normal ThermoScan ranges
by age.

Normal ThermoScan ranges by age:

0 – 2 years
3 – 10 years
11 – 65 years
> 65 years
However, the range of normal also varies from person to person
and fluctuates throughout the day. It is therefore important to deter-
mine your normal temperature range. This is easily done using Braun
ThermoScan. Practice 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 additional reference.
