The temperature of the human body varies throughout the day. It can also be influenced by
numerous external factors: age, sex, type and thickness of skin...
ADVANTAGES OF TEMPORAL ARTERY (TA) TEMPERATURE
Infrared arterial temperature can be measured using a device placed on the forehead, in the
temporal artery region. It has been demonstrated that this relatively new method of measuring
temperature is more precise than tympanic thermometry and better tolerated than rectal
thermometry.
The AT2103 thermometer has been designed to produce an instant forehead temperature
reading without any contact with the temporal artery. As this artery is quite close to the surface
of the skin and therefore accessible and the blood flow is permanent and regular, this allows for
precise measurement of the temperature. This artery is linked to the heart by the Carotid artery
which is directly linked to the Aorta. It forms part of the main trunk of the arterial system. The
efficiency, speed and comfort of taking a temperature from this area makes it ideal compared
with other temperature measurement methods.

PRACTICAL CONSIDERATIONS WHEN TAKING A TEMPERATURE
- In order to ensure that precise and accurate temperature measurements are obtained, it is
essential that each user has received adequate information on and training in the temperature
measurement technique when using such a device.
- It is essential to remember that although procedures such as taking a temperature may be
