Temperature Measurement Methods

Rectal Measurement

From a medical point of view, rectal measurement is the most accurate measurement method because it best approximates the body's internal temperature. For this, the tip of the thermometer is carefully inserted into the rectal opening (maximum 2 cm). The measurement time is approximately 10-15 seconds.

Axillary Measurement

An axillary measurement establishes a surface temperature, which, unlike the temperature measured rectally, can differ in adults by approx. 0.5 °C - 1.5 °C. The measurement time for this method is 10-40 seconds. In this case, it must be taken into account that, for example, in the case of a cooled axillary area, an exact measurement result cannot be established. To obtain the most accurate possible measurement result, which corresponds as closely as possible to the body's internal temperature, we recommend extending the measurement time by 5 minutes.

Oral Measurement

The temperature in the oral cavity is not homogeneous. Oral temperature is usually 0.3 °C - 0.8 °C lower than the temperature measured rectally. For measurement accuracy, place the tip of the thermometer to the left or right of the root of the tongue. The measuring tip must have permanent contact with the tissue during measurement and must be placed under the tongue, behind one of the two cavities beneath it. Keep your mouth closed and breathe evenly through your nose. Do not consume food or drinks before measurement. The usual measurement time is approximately 10-30 seconds.

Note:

Please note that Thermoval rapid/kids/kids flex is a maximum measurement thermometer, which means that the displayed temperature may increase if the measurement continues after the acoustic signal. For determining internal temperature, rectal measurement is recommended as the most accurate method, as well as extending the measurement time by 3 minutes after the acoustic signal.
