How Does a Stiora Digital Thermometer Work?

In general, fever is usually a symptom that is present in various diseases that cause infections, such as flu, colds, otitis ... Raising body temperature is an indication that something is wrong, so it is very important to keep a thermometer at home.

Electronic thermometers work differently than traditional mercury and glass thermometers. The electronic body temperature checker has the same probe (point of contact for temperature) as traditional thermometers, but it is not used to expand mercury. Instead, digital thermometers available online use a resistance thermometer to measure resistance as the temperature changes.

If you use it well, the flexi tip thermometer is a perfect tool to determine if the fever is present quickly and safely. In addition, it can be used in different areas of the body, but depending on where you do it, the result can vary slightly. You can take your body temperature in these areas: the rectum - when you take a rectal temperature, it is considered that there is a fever of 37.6ºC. This area is recommended for children and children under 6 years; in mouth - we can consider the fever when the temperature marked rises from 37.3ºC. This area is best suited for teenagers and adults; armpit - it is considered a fever of 37.2ºC. You can measure the temperature in this area in children from 6 years. It is also the most common where most people measure their body temperature.

First of all, make sure that the body temperature checker device is in good condition and not broken or without batteries, otherwise, the result will be reliable. The thermometer bulb should also be cleaned with a cotton swab soaked in antiseptic alcohol before and after use. When you turn on the thermometer, place it in the area when no measurements appear on the screen. Finally, monitor the measurement by holding the thermometer when placing it in your mouth or rectum, otherwise, it may give an erroneous reading.

Depending on the type of flexi tip thermometer, you need to check if you take the temperature following the instructions in the letter. These are the most obvious signs that the digital thermometer is failing: "LO" appears on the screen. This means low temperature and has nothing to do with the battery, so you don't have to worry. This is because the ambient temperature is about 21ºC, while the body temperature should be between 35.8ºC and 36.9ºC. Thus, any value higher than 37 ° C will indicate fever, and a value lower than 35.6 ° C will indicate an error. If you take your body temperature in your mouth, don't forget to put it under your tongue before turning it on. The battery is exhausted. If the thermometer does not sound or does not start, read the instructions for changing the battery.
