side, then temperature
should always be taken
from upper ear. For high
degree of exactness and to avoid cross
contamination, a new
probe cover should be used
for each patient. If you
want to measure the
temperature again from the same ear, must wait
at least for two minutes
for accurate result. If a
patient is using some
device for proper hearing,
remove it and then always wait for 10
minutes before measuring
the temperature. By following these simple
