The probe cover should be removed after each measurement. Use of the thermometer without a cover can result in transmission of germs (unacceptable hygiene). A dirty probe cover can grow germs that can be passed to the next user. Repeated use of the same probe cover results in a loose fitting cover, leading to inaccurate […]
MICROLIFE’s ear thermometer measurements are comparable to an oral temperature from a quality thermometer. Rectal measurements are slightly higher then oral measurements.

Generally, there are no significant differences in ear temperatures. We recommended you practice measuring temperature when well, determine normal temperatures for you and your family, and use the ear that gives you a higher reading.
Temperature can vary slightly from left to right ear because of the amounts of dirt or earwax present or due to individual variations. Please note the position of the probe tip during measurement can have an influence on the results. It is very important to straighten the ear canal and insert the probe tip comfortably […]
