may be simple they must not be trivialized.
- Temperature should be taken in a neutral context. The patient must not have
undertaken vigorous physical activity prior to taking his/her temperature and the
room temperature must be moderate.
- Be aware of physiological variations in temperature which must be taken into
consideration when evaluating the results: temperature increases by 0.5°C
between 6 am and 3 pm. Women have a temperature that is higher, on average, by
around 0.2°C. Their temperature also varies in accordance with their ovarian cycle.
It rises by 0.5°C in the second half of the cycle and at the early stages of pregnancy.
- When sitting, temperature is lower by about 0.3°C to 0.4°C than when standing.

HOW TO TAKE A TEMPERATURE

Aim at the FOREHEAD over the right temporal
region from a distance of about 3cm~5cm,
press the thermometer's measurement button,
and the temperature is instantly displayed.
The reliability of the measurement cannot be
guaranteed if the temperature is measured over
another part of the body (e.g. arm, torso, etc.)
Please observe the following before any temperature measurements to ensure a
stable and reliable result:
- Push back hair from the forehead
- Wipe away any perspiration from the forehead
- Avoid any drafts (e.g. from nasal cannulas, air conditioning, etc.)
- Allow a 1 minute interval between each measurement.
- Each time there is a significant change in the ambient temperature due to a change
in the environment, allow the AT2102 to acclimatize to this ambient temperature
for at least 15 minutes before using it.
