6. Some Useful Information
Temperature differences between body temperature and forehead temperature
Forehead temperature (°C)
This unit measures the temperature at the surface of the forehead by sensing infrared emission of the skin at the measured
point, and then calculates the oral-equivalent value using a unique algorithm (forehead measurement mode) based on actual
body temperature survey data.
