Frequency Asked Questions (FAQ)
About ThermoSensor
1. Why do we place the ThermoSensor on the left or right side of the lower abdomen and not
elsewhere?
It is well known that the temperature of blood in a major artery closely reflects body
temperature, so measuring temperature from an area close to a major artery will give
readings that are more accurate than those measured from an area far from a major
artery. We recommend measuring temperature from the middle of the left or right lower
abdomen because that area is near a major artery called the external iliac artery.
2. How do I know whether ThermoSensor is working?
Take out ThermoSensor from its casing and the LED light will start to blink about every 5
seconds. If it is not blinking, it is likely to have run out of battery or faulty. In that case,
contact Technical Support to purchase a replacement.
3. The ThermoSensor is correctly contacted but the temperature seems to be lower than
expected. Why?
•
Whenever a ThermoSensor is contacted to the skin, it will take about 10 minutes to
give an accurate temperature reading.
•
If the ThermoSensor is not held closely against the skin, the temperature reading will
generally be lower than normal. Do ensure that the sensor is properly contacted with
the application area.
•
If the ThermoSensor is placed in the incorrect application area, the temperature
reading will generally be lower than normal.
•
The ThermoSensor may give lower readings for obese people because the thicker
layer of tissue between the iliac artery (see FAQ # 1) and the skin surface may affect
the transmission of heat from the artery to the skin surface. If you suspect this is
happening, we recommend that you check your child's temperature with an ear
