| Dosage | Thermoval® Standard is a digital thermometer with a sensor at its tip to measure by direct contact the local temperature from the rectum, the mouth or the armpit areas that is reflecting from the core body temperature. In the rectum (rectal) This measurement site is considered to be accurate from a medical point of view because it comes close to the core body temperature. The thermometer tip is inserted carefully into the rectum to a maximum of 2 cm. The usual measurement time is approximately 40 to 60 seconds. In the mouth (oral) There are different heat zones in the mouth. As a general rule, the oral temperature is 0.3 °C to 0.8 °C lower than the rectal temperature. To ensure that the reading is as accurate as possible, place the thermometer tip under the tongue to the left or right of the root of the tongue. The sensor must have constant contact with the tissue during the reading and be placed under the tongue in one of the two heat pockets at the back. Keep the mouth closed during the reading and breathe evenly through the nose. Do not eat or drink anything before the measurement. The usual measurement time is approximately 60 seconds. Under the arm (axillary) Placing the thermometer in the armpit provides a measurement of surface skin temperature that can fluctuate by around 0.5 °C to 1.5 °C from rectal (internal) temperature readings in adults. The usual measurement time for this method is approximately 90 seconds. It should be noted, however, that an exact reading cannot be obtained if, for example, the armpits have been allowed to cool. If this is the case, we recommend extending the measurement time to 5 minutes in order to obtain the most precise possible reading. |
