Measuring body
temperature from the ear
There are people who present different measured
values in their left and right ear. To factor in tem-
perature changes, always measure the same ear
for the same person.
The integrated ear thermometer may only be used
by children under adult supervision. Measurement
is usually only possible from the age of 6 months
and up. For infants under 6 months old, the ear
canal is often still too small for the temperature to
be measured and this may lead to measurement
results which are too low being displayed.
Measurement may not be carried out on an ear
suffering from an inflammatory disease (i.e. inflamed
with pus, secretions), after potential injuries to the
ear (i.e. eardrum damage) or during the healing
phase after a surgical operation. Please speak to

may be unsuitable due to potential bacterial con-
tamination, even when the thermometer has been
