The thermometer is equipped with a CR 2032 lithium battery. We recommend you take the old battery with you when buying a new battery. Microlife does not sell batteries. They can be purchased in any electronic shop, pharmacy, appliances store, photo shops or gas stations.
No, never immerse the thermometer into water or other liquids.
Essential, it is true the measured body temperature always depends on where it is measured. Therefore, contrary to the popular consensus, there is no simple “normal temperature”. Furthermore, a healthy person’s body temperature will vary with activity and time during the day. IN a rectal temperature measurement, a typical temperature difference of 0.5°C between the […]
Generally patients determine their own personal best value. This is the highest value the patient can achieve under optimum conditions (free of symptoms, feeling well). [Example: 500 l/min.] The green area usually reaches 80% of the personal best value. [Example: 500 l/min x 0.8=400 l/min] The yellow area usually reaches 50% of the personal best […]
The “traffic light scheme” allows a patient to self-assess measured values to follow the progression of the illness. Self-assessment empowers patients to control their asthmatic illness in close co-operation with their physician. The physician determines a green, a yellow and a red area for the patients peak flow readings. As long as the values are […]
Measurements can be performed while standing, or sitting upright. For better comparability of your data you should always perform the measurement in the same position. Hold the monitor with both hands. Inhale deeply and hold your breath for a moment. Cover the mouthpiece tightly with your lips. Exhale into the measuring tube as strongly and […]
The most reliable core temperature is obtained by inserting a thermometer into the rectum (rectal measurement). This measurement is accurate and has low scattering in the results. The normal range is approx. 36.2°C – 37.7°C. In women, vaginal temperature measurement yields a slight underestimate of temperature by an average of 0.1°C to 0.3°C in comparison […]
Essentially a distinction must be made between the technical accuracy of the thermometer itself and the clinical accuracy in use in taking a temperature. The former is determined under idealised conditions to guarantee the quality of the instrument, taking the relevant technical standards into account. An accuracy of + 0.1°C can be considered state of […]
It is of great medical importance to measure body temperature. The reason is that a number of diseases are accompanied by characteristic changes in body temperature. Likewise, the course of certain disease can be monitored by measuring body temperature, and the efficiency of a treatment initiated can be evaluated by the physician. Fever is a […]
Your physician is only interested in the HIGHEST peak flow value achieved during a measurement session. Please repeat the measurements until you feel you have gotten the best possible result for that session. In the event of declining results at each successive measurement, talk to your doctor. It may be a sign of unstable asthma. […]
