The temperature is the measurable extent of hotness or coldness. It is a mathematical representation of heat. There are different units to measure temperatures, like Celsius (˚C), Kelvin (K), and Fahrenheit (˚F).

There are different Body temperature is a great indicator of health. Knowing how to use a digital thermometer properly will ensure you are able to take your temperature and see if something is wrong. Generally speaking, humans should have a temperature of 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit. If you find that your temperature is off by more than a degree or two, you may need to see a doctor. These steps will help you take your temperature correctly. You can get fast and accurate readings with AccuSure digital thermometers. They are available in many shapes and sizes. that are classified according to their needs. For example, there is one set of Hard Tip thermometers that are used to measure body temperature while another set of TRANSPARENT thermometers measure boiling point and freezing point during experiments.

The thermometer rsc healthcare 08 Oval Omax Mercury thermometer Clinica is washed with water at a normal temperature.

It is given a few jerks. We notice that the jerks bring the level of mercury down. We ensure that it falls below the 37⁰C mark or the 98⁰F mark, the normal human body temperature.

The MT 1027 thermometer is then kept under the tongue or the arms to get the reading on the Hard Tip thermometer.

The thermometer is then held close to the eye, as shown in figure 3, to see the correct reading.

The temperature difference indicated between the two bigger marks is noted. Also, the number of divisions (shown by smaller marks) between these marks is noted. For e.g. the bigger mark reads 10 and the number of divisions is 5, then each division reads the value equal to 10/5 = 20.

We note the value of the bigger mark that the mercury thread crossed (98 in Fig.4 Example 1). Then the number of the division of the mercury thread has crossed is noted (3 in this case). Now, this value is multiplied by the value of one division (which is 0.2 in this case). Hence, the temperature reading is 98 + (3×2) = 98.6.

How to use rsc healthcare 08 Oval Omax Mercury thermometer Clinica Thermometer?

Turn on the Hard Tip thermometer and click till the number zero appears on the display.
Place the tip of the thermometer under the armpit.
Wait for a few seconds before you hear the alarm from the TRANSPARENT thermometer.
Remove the thermometer and check for the temperature on the display.
After use, clean the tip of the thermometer with cotton and alcohol.

Ways to Take a Temperature using rsc healthcare 08 Oval Omax Mercury thermometer Clinica

Rectal. The thermometer is placed in the child’s bottom. It is thought to be the most accurate temperature.
Oral. The TRANSPARENT thermometer is placed in the mouth under the tongue. Note: Pacifier digital thermometers are not recommended. They can be inaccurate.
Axillary. The thermometer is placed in the armpit.
Tympanic. The Hard Tip thermometer is placed in the ear.
Temporal artery.M The thermometer scans the surface of the forehead. These are sometimes used to screen for fever. If the temperature is higher than normal (greater than 101° F), it needs to be taken with a more accurate kind of MT 1027 thermometer. Temporal artery thermometers should not be used on infants.
