Temperature taking hints
It is important to know each individual's normal temperature when they are well . This is the only
way to accurately diagnose a fever . Take multiple readings when healthy to determine normal
temperature .
A child's normal temperature can be as high as 37 .7 °C (99 .9 °F) or as low as 36 .1 °C (97 .0 °F) . Be sure
to note this unit reads 0 .5 °C (0 .9 °F) lower than a rectal digital measurement .
An individual must be inside for 30 minutes before taking a measurement.
Hold the thermometer flush against the forehead and swipe slowly from above the eyebrow down
to the temple, and back again . Swiping too slow or too fast may impact your reading .
Swipe down the temple to the ear and back again . Use the beeps to help pace your swiping so that
you are in the starting position when the long beep is heard .
DO NOT remove the thermometer from the forehead before hearing the final beep .
Nursing mothers should not take a temperature measurement on themselves or have their
temperature measured by another individual while or immediately after nursing a baby, as nursing
can affect body temperature .
DO NOT use the Sensian™ Swipe 5 thermometer in high humidity environments .
Individuals should not drink, eat, or be physically active before/while taking the measurement .
Before placing the thermometer sensor onto the forehead, remove dirt, hair, or sweat .
Use an alcohol swab to carefully clean the sensor and wait for 5 minutes before taking a
measurement on another Individual . Wiping the forehead with a warm or cool cloth may impact
your reading . It is advised to wait 15 minutes before taking a reading .
ALWAYS take the temperature in the same location, since the temperature readings may vary from
different locations on the forehead .
In the following situations, it is recommended that three temperatures be taken and the highest
one used as the reading:
• Infants within the first 100 days of their birth .
• Children under three years of age with a compromised immune system and for whom the
presence or absence of fever is critical .
• When the user is learning how to use the thermometer for the first time until he/she has
familiarized himself/herself with the instrument and obtains consistent readings .
