Normal temperature varies with the individual & also changes depending on the time through the day.
To find out one's normal temperature, therefore we recommend performing regular measurements under the following conditions:
- Measure with the same thermometer
- Measure at the same area
- Measure at the same time of day

Normal body temperature is in the range of 36.5–37.5 °C on the average, although it varies somewhat among individuals (gender, age). Additionally, temperature can vary according to physical activities, throughout the day, & due to external factors, e.g. with the change of seasons. Normal body temperature may change during any given day. It is usually highest in the evening. Body temperature is typically elevated after physical activity.
Body temperature is a basic condition for the proper operation of the cells. It is configured by many internal organs with the control of the nervous system on the delicate balance of heat production & heat loss. This mechanism (called thermoregulation) ensures the stable operation of vital functions by keeping the body at optimum operating internal temperature.
Yes! The most accurate optimal values derive from rectal measurement: 37.0-37.5 °C (98.6-99.5 °F), while oral measurement produces slightly lower results: 36.8° ± 0.4 °C (98.2° ± 0.7 °F). Measurements taken on the skin (armpit, ear, forehead) gives the lowest values out of these types: 36.5 °C (97.7 °F), since these correlate relatively poorly with the core body temperature.

Fever is a medical sign characterized by an increased body temperature above the normal range. Fever is not considered medically significant until body temperature is above 38°C.
Fever is caused by the release of certain chemicals by the immune system, usually as a result of an infection or inflammation. Not every fever needs medical attention, but in young children, if the temperature continues to rise or if there are other worrying symptoms, a doctor should be consulted.
It can be caused by a number of reasons: in most cases by infectious diseases (such as flu & pneumonia), less frequently by hormone imbalance, metabolic disorders, certain inflammatory conditions (such as rheumatoid arthritis) or even extreme sunburn or certain medications & immunizations (vaccines).
Sometimes the cause of a fever can't be identified. If you have a temperature of 38.3 C or higher for more than three weeks & your doctor isn't able to find the cause after extensive evaluation, the diagnosis may be fever of unknown origin.
Sterilization with chemical (including alcohol) might transform the surface of the product. Do not sterilize it with any chemical.
You can clean the pencil thermometer with a cloth containing neutral detergent.

Omron is my favorite brand. I have the blood pressure monitor as well as oximeter. But initially found this thermometer not as responsive. Guess was not familiar with the instructions n needed to google for it. Now working fine though found the metal pieces connecting to the battery a bit rusty
Easy to use, good design, fitted in with my price range.
Very happy with this device . The app is great for keeping track of blood pressure. I give my doctor a print out to examine

My main reason for completing the warranty registration one month ago was to access the provisions of the warranty for a product I purchased in September 2022. The original product had stopped functioning which I thought the cause was a flat battery but a replacement battery filed to bring it back to life. I mailed it to Port Melbourne for warrany attention. The team there were very helpful both in emails and their work in attending to the faulty unit. The end result was supply of a brand new replacement temperature measurement unit which was appreciated. Probably not the best review in terms of product reliability but it does tell the story of excellent customer service. Thank you.
