Frequently asked questions about using an ear thermometer
Why is the ear thermometer continuously measured 3 or 4 times, and the temperature will be different each time?
The ear thermometer has just been taken out of the box and has not adapted to the ambient temperature, so there will be different data for continuous measurement. The same situation will occur in rooms with too much room temperature difference. For example, the temperature of a room with a heater is higher than that. Others are much higher. Rapidly changing the ambient temperature is one of the reasons for the inaccurate value of the ear thermometer. Measuring different ears will also result in different data, because the earwax conditions of the left and right ear can affect the measurement results.
Approach:
1. It is recommended that the user first place the ear thermometer in the room, and after about 20 minutes, let it adapt to the ambient temperature.
2. Please measure the same ear. To get the exact temperature.
What is the difference between an earmuff-free type and an ear thermometer that requires a earmuff type?
1. Free earmuff type: This type can be used directly to clean the probe with alcohol cotton, which can save the cost of purchasing the probe cover (commonly known as "ear cover"). It is more suitable for home use or single user.
2. Use the probe sleeve type (commonly known as "ear sleeve"): as long as the probe part is cleaned and disinfected, it is necessary to increase the cost of purchasing the earmuffs later. It can prevent cross infection, and is very suitable for medical units, public places, and families with high hygiene requirements.
Does the ear thermometer need regular maintenance?
The ear thermometer is a health care product. Of course, DIY maintenance should be carried out from time to time. You can use a soft cloth to wipe or a special cleaning agent for plastic cases. Do not use benzene solvent chemicals. The probe lens is the most sensitive part of the ear thermometer, please use a mild detergent or alcohol cotton scrub.
How long does it take for the ear thermometer to change the battery?
When the battery icon on the upper left of the ear thermometer's LCD screen is blank, it means that the ear thermometer battery is dead. Please replace it with a new one. Generally it can be used for about 3-6 months. The specific battery life will vary depending on how often you use it. The battery is a button battery, easy to buy, and the price is only a few dollars.
Does the temperature change in summer and winter affect the measured temperature?
The ear thermometer will be compared and compensated for the ambient temperature. The measured temperature is the same in the normal ambient temperature range of 10 ° C to 40 ° C (or 16 ° C to 40 ° C). However, the human body will have a slight change in body temperature along with the summer and winter ambient temperature. For example, after exercise and after taking a hot bath, the body temperature is usually relatively high.
