Product Overview
The tympanic membrane (eardrum), and
the hypothalamus (the part of the brain
which controls body temperature) share
a common blood supply , so tympanic
readings rise and fall rapidly with core
temperature (deep-body temperature).
This makes ear temperature one of the
best indicators of internal body (core)
temperature.
What are normal temperature values?
Human body temperature varies from
person to person, and body temperature
uctuates throughout the day . Because of
this natural variation, you should become
familiar with your normal body tempera-
ture range by measuring it yourself when
healthy , in order to establish reference
temperatures which will make you feel
more condent of the measured tempera-
ture when it is abnormal.
Using the Ear Thermometer correctly
1. T ry the 2215 Ear Thermometer on
yourself rst to become familiar with its
operation.
2. T aking the temperature immediately
after waking up may cause the reading
to be higher than normal as a result of
sleeping on the ear .
3 It is common for the right and left ear
readings to be slightly different; use
the same ear consistently to obtain
temperature readings.
4. Straighten the ear canal before and
during measurements:
For Children under 12 months:
Straighten the ear canal by pulling the ear
back as shown below .
For Children over 12 months and Adults:
Straighten the ear canal by pulling the ear
back and up as shown below .
5. This ear thermometer automatically
converts measured ear temperature
reading to oral temperature.
