Helpful Hints

• For infants, it is best to position infant flat with the ear facing upwards.
• For children and adults, it is best to stand behind and slightly to the
side.
• Always take measurements in the same ear since temperature readings
may differ from ear to ear.
• Readings taken while a child is sleeping should not be compared to
readings taken while awake.
• It is recommended to take three readings in the same ear with the
highest interpreted as the reading for:
- newborn infants in the first 100 days,
- children under three years of age with compromised immune
systems or with conditions where the absence of fever is critical,
- a new user of a Deluxe Instant Ear Thermometer until proper
technique is established.
