Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I take an oral temperature with this thermometer?

A: Place the thermometer tip under the tongue, close your mouth and breathe through your nose. Wait for the beep signal indicating the reading is complete. Do not eat, drink or exercise for at least 15 minutes before taking an oral temperature as these can affect accuracy. Normal oral temperature is approximately 36.1–37.2°C.

Q: How do I take an underarm (axillary) temperature?

A: Place the thermometer tip in the centre of the armpit with the arm held snugly against the body. Hold in place until the beep. Underarm readings are typically 0.3–0.6°C lower than oral readings — add this amount for an estimate of core body temperature. Normal axillary temperature is approximately 35.9–36.7°C.

Q: What temperature is considered a fever?

A: A fever is generally defined as a temperature above 38°C (oral). In children under 3 months, any temperature above 38°C warrants prompt medical attention. In older children and adults, temperatures above 38.5°C with other symptoms (lethargy, difficulty breathing, rash) should be assessed by a doctor. Always follow your healthcare provider's guidance for specific situations.

Q: How do I clean the thermometer between uses?

A: Wipe the thermometer tip with an alcohol swab or cotton wool dampened with isopropyl alcohol after each use. Allow to dry before storage. Do not immerse the thermometer in water or use harsh cleaning agents. Clean before use if sharing between family members to prevent cross-contamination.
