The Multiscan Thermometer is a delicate electric device designed
for reading either body temperature within the inner ear or for
reading the temperature of liquids, foods, or other surfaces.
Body Temperatures: When reading the inner ear body
temperature, accurate and reliable readings are obtained by the
infrared sensor. The temperature in the ear reflects the body’s
core temperature, since veins in the eardrum connect to the part
of the brain that regulates body temperature, the hypothalamus.
The thermometer converts the infrared energy measured into a
temperature value, however, one must take into account that
body temperatures vary depending upon age and the time the
reading is taken.
Any body temperature readings obtained from other then the
ear canal are simply for reference.
Surface Temperatures: This device may also be used to
measure surface temperature, for instance, liquids, food, etc.
It is important to point out that when measuring liquids or foods,
it is not necessary for the thermometer to be in direct contact
with the material. The optimum distance between the object and
the thermometer is approximately 0.2-0.39 inches (0.5-1.0 cm)
