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:
Rektal:
ThermoScan:
• As well, a person's normal temperature range tends to descrease
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 determine
your and your family member's normal temperature ranges. This is
easily done using Braun ThermoScan. Practise 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.
