measurement technique is required. The thermometer probe must be placed as

close as possible to the warmest part of the external ear canal. An incorrectly placed

probe could lead to a false temperature reading.

TEMPORAL

The temperature of the human body varies throughout the day. It can also be

influenced by numerous external factors: age, sex, type, thickness of skin, etc.

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 AT2102 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 this skin and therefore accessible and given the blood

flow is permanent and regular, it allows 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 receive adequate information on and

training in the temperature measurement technique when using this device.

- It is essential to remember that although procedures such as taking a temperature
