Body temperature
Normal body temperature is a range. The following table shows
that this normal range also varies by site. Therefore, measurements
from different sites should not be directly compared.
• A person’s normal temperature range tends to decrease with age.
The following table shows normal ThermoScan ranges by age.
The range of normal also varies from person to person and fluctuates
throughout the day. It is therefore important to determine normal
temperature ranges. This is easily done using Braun ThermoScan.
Practice taking temperatures on yourself and healthy family members
to determine the normal temperature range.
Note: When consulting your physician, communicate that the
ThermoScan temperature is a temperature measured in the ear and
if possible, note the individual’s normal ThermoScan temperature
range as additional reference.
