FAQs
How do I use the thermometer?****
The thermometer can be used rectally or orally.
How do I read the temperature?****
The temperature is displayed in Celsius and Fahrenheit.
How do I turn it off?****
The thermometer has a power switch on the back.
How long does the battery last?****

How long should a rectal thermometer be left in?****
Hold your child still. Leave a digital thermometer in until it beeps (about 10 seconds). Your child has a fever if the rectal temp is above 100.4° F (38° C).
How much more accurate is a rectal thermometer?****
A rectal temperature is 0.5°F (0.3°C) to 1°F (0.6°C) higher than an oral temperature. An ear temperature is 0.5°F (0.3°C) to 1°F (0.6°C) higher than an oral temperature. An armpit temperature is most often 0.5°F (0.3°C) to 1°F (0.6°C) lower than an oral temperature.
What happens if you insert a rectal thermometer too far?****
Too deep an insertion can cause a perforated rectum. A normal rectal temperature should be 100.2 degrees Fahrenheit or less.
What is the main use of the rectal thermometer?****
The rectal thermometer is a device that is used to measure the baby’s internal temperature by placing the thermometer into the baby’s rectum. It is a more accurate method and is used in children less than three months of age.
What position is used for rectal temperature?****
Place your child’s belly down across your lap or on a firm surface. Another way is on the back with the legs pulled up to the chest. Turn the thermometer on and slide it 1/2 inch (for babies less than 6 months old) to 1 inch into the anus. Be gentle.
Can a rectal thermometer be wrong?****
Always use a digital thermometer to check your child’s temperature. Never use a mercury thermometer. For infants and toddlers, be sure to use a rectal thermometer correctly. A rectal thermometer may accidentally poke a hole in (perforate) the rectum.
What can affect rectal temperature?****
An increase in the infant’s age, birth weight, and supine sleeping position all decreased the nighttime rectal temperatures. However, an increase in the nighttime room temperature, weight, and the combination of bottle feeding and parental smoking produced an increase in rectal temperature.
How do you clean a rectal thermometer after use?****
Wash the rectal thermometer with antibacterial soap and lukewarm soapy water twice. Dry with a clean paper towel. Wipe the sensor with a cotton swab or pad dipped in rubbing alcohol or bleach. Wipe dry with a clean paper towel
How deep should a rectal thermometer be?****
Insert the lubricated thermometer into the anal opening about ½ inch to 1 inch (about 1.25 to 2.5 centimeters), or until the tip of the thermometer is fully in the rectum. Stop if you feel any resistance.
Do you need a cover for a rectal thermometer?****
If your thermometer did not come with a probe cover then you can use it without one. Lubricate the end of the probe with a small amount of lubricating jelly. Place your child on his stomach across a firm surface or your lap before taking his temperature.
Can a rectal thermometer be used orally?****
Keep separate, marked thermometers for rectal, oral and armpit readings. Never use a thermometer to take an oral temperature after it has been used to take a rectal temperature – even if it has been cleaned.
