How to Use the Ear Thermometer on a Toddler

To obtain the most accurate measurement, gently pull the child's ear upward and backward to straighten the ear canal. Delicately insert the tip of the digital thermometer until the canal is sealed and press the measurement button. A beep will confirm the end of the test. It is important to ensure the ear is free of excess wax, as this could interfere with the infrared reading.

Maintenance and Reliability of the Thermal Sensor

The infrared lens is the most sensitive part of the device. To maintain accuracy, clean it gently with a cotton swab lightly moistened with alcohol after each use if you are not using a probe cover. Always store the thermometer in its protective case. This device is a long-lasting investment for your family first aid kit, offering peace of mind year after year.

FAQ Frequently asked questions about ear thermometers

Why does the temperature vary from one ear to the other?

It is normal to observe slight variations (approximately 0.3°C) due to blood circulation or the angle of the ear canal. It is recommended to always take measurements in the same ear for consistent tracking.

Is this thermometer suitable for newborns?

While usable, doctors often recommend rectal temperature for infants under 3 months for absolute precision. For babies over 6 months, the ear thermometer is considered excellent and very reliable.

Do I need to use a probe cover every time?

The use of a disposable probe cover is strongly recommended to guarantee perfect hygiene between users and to protect the measurement lens from earwax residue that could affect accuracy.
