The temperature of the human body varies throughout the day. It can also be
influenced by numerous external factors: age, sex, type and thickness of skin…
Advantages of temporal artery (ta) temperature
Infrared arterial temperature can be measured using a device placed on the
forehead, in the temporal artery region. It has been demonstrated that this relatively
new method of measuring temperature is more precise than tympanic thermometry
and better tolerated than rectal thermometry.
The JXB-178 thermometer has been designed to produce an instant forehead
temperature reading without any contact with the temporal artery. As this artery is
quite close to thesurface of this skin and therefore accessible and given the blood
flow is permanent and regular, it allows precise measurement of the temperature.
This artery is linked to the heart by the carotid artery which is directly linked to the
aorta. It forms part of the main trunk of the arterial system. The efficiency, speed and
comfort of taking a temperature from this area make it ideal compared with other
temperature measurements methods.
Normal temperature according to age
Practical considerations when taking a temperature
-
In order to ensure that precise and accurate temperature
measurements are
obtained, it is essential that each user has received adequate information on and
training in the temperature measurement technique when using such a device.
- It is essential to remember that although procedures such as taking a temperature
may be simple they must not be trivialised.
-
-
Temperature should be taken in a neutral context. The patient must not have
undertaken vigorous physical activity prior to taking his/her temperature and the
room temperature must be moderate.
Be aware of physiological variations in temperature which must be taken into
consideration when evaluating the results: temperature increases by 0.5°C between
6 am and 3 pm. Women have a temperature that is higher, on average, by around
0.2°C. Their temperature also varies in accordance with their ovarian cycle. It rises
by 0.5°C in the second half of the cycle and at the early stages of pregnancy.
- When sitting, temperature is lower by about 0.3°C to 0.4°C than when standing.
How to take a temperature
Aim at the middle of forehead,
from a distance of about 3cm~5cm,
press the thermometer’s measurement
button and the temperature
is instantly displayed.
The reliability of the measurement cannot
be guaranteed if the temperature is measured
over another part of the body (e.g.arm, torso…)
Constraints
Please observe the following before any temperature measurement to ensure a
stable and reliable result:
- Push back hair from the forehead.
- Wipe away any perspiration from the forehead.
- Avoid any drafts (e.g. from nasal specs, air conditioning…)
- Allow a 3~5 seconds interval between two measurements.
-
Each time there is a significant change in the ambient
temperature due to a
change in environment, to allow the JXB-178 to acclimatise to this ambient
temperature for at least 15 minutes before using it.
VI. Basic instrument
The type BF applied part: Sensor.
II. Intended use
The device is an infrared thermometer intended to measure forehead temperature of
infants and adults without contacting human body. It can be used by consumers in
household environment and doctor in clinic as reference.
III. Introduction
The JXB-178 Non-contact Infrared thermometer has been developed by using the
latest infrared technology. This technology allows temporal artery (TA) temperature
to be taken at a distance of about 3cm~5cm away from the forehead. Precise,
Instantaneous and without Contact, the JXB-178 is, up to now, the most suitable
thermometer for no risk on temperature measurement. It has been demonstrated
that this method of TA temperature measurement is more precise than the tympanic
thermometry and better tolerated than rectal thermometry (1).
However, as with other types of thermometer, it is essential to use the JXB-178
properly in order to obtain reliable and stable results. You are therefore advised to
read this instruction manual and the safety precautions carefully before use.
(1)Greenes D, Fleisher G. Accuracy of a Noninvasive Temporal Artery Thermometer
for Use in Infants. Arch Pediatr Adolesc Med 2001;155:376.
IV. Precautions before use
In order to obtain reliable and stable results, you are advised each time there is a
significant change in the ambient temperature due to a change in environment, to
allow the JXB-178 to acclimatize to this ambient temperature for 15 to 20 minutes
before using it.
It is important to allow 3~5 seconds interval between two measurements.
V. Operating principle
All objects, solid, liquid or gas, emit energy by radiation. The intensity of this energy
depends on the temperature of the object.The JXB-178 infrared thermometer is
therefore able to measure the temperature of a person by the energy the person
emits. This measurement can be taken thanks to anexternal temperature probe on
the device which permanently analyses and registers the ambient temperature.
Therefore, as soon as the operator holds the thermometer near the body and
activates the radiation sensor, the measurement is taken instantly
by detection of the
infrared heat generated by the arterial blood flow. Body heat can therefore be
measured without any interference from the heat of the surrounding environment.
THE DIFFERENT METHODS OF TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT
Core temperature
Core temperature is the most precise measurement and involves measuring the
temperature in the pulmonary artery by means of a catheter equipped with a thermal
probe which can read the temperature in situ. The same method is employed for
probes measuring the oesophageal temperature. However, such invasive
temperature measurement methods require specific equipment and expertise.
Rectal thermometry
Rectal temperature adjusts slowly in comparison to the evolution of the
body’s
internal temperature. It has been demonstrated that rectal temperature
remains raised
long after the internal temperature of the patient has started to drop and vice versa.
Furthermore, rectal perforations have been known to occur as a result of this
method and without appropriate sterilisation techniques, rectal thermometry can
spread germs often found in faeces.
Oral thermometry
Oral temperature is easily influenced by recent ingestion of food or drinks and by
breathing through the mouth. To measure oral temperature, the mouth must remain
closed and the tongue lowered for three to four minutes which is a difficult task for
young children to accomplish.
Axillary (armpit) temperature
Although it may be easy to measure axillary temperature, it has been proven that it
does not provide an accurate measurement of the child’s internal temperature. To
take this type of temperature, the thermometer must be wedged tightly over the
axillary artery. Despite the low sensitivity and relative inaccuracy of axillary
temperature in detecting fever, this method is recommended by The American
Academy of Pediatrics as a screening test for fever in newborns.
Tympanic thermometry
In order to obtain a precise temperature reading, good command of the
measurement technique is required. The thermometer probe must be placed as
close as possible to the warmest part of the external ear canal.

spread germs often found in faeces.
Oral thermometry
Oral temperature is easily influenced by recent ingestion of food or drinks and by
breathing through the mouth. To measure oral temperature, the mouth must remain
closed and the tongue lowered for three to four minutes which is a difficult task for
young children to accomplish.
Axillary (armpit) temperature
Although it may be easy to measure axillary temperature, it has been proven that it
does not provide an accurate measurement of the child’s internal temperature. To
take this type of temperature, the thermometer must be wedged tightly over the
axillary artery. Despite the low sensitivity and relative inaccuracy of axillary
temperature in detecting fever, this method is recommended by The American
Academy of Pediatrics as a screening test for fever in newborns.
Tympanic thermometry
In order to obtain a precise temperature reading, good command of the
measurement technique is required. The thermometer probe must be placed as
close as possible to the warmest part of the external ear canal.

The temperature of the human body varies throughout the day. It can also be
influenced by numerous external factors: age, sex, type and thickness of skin…
Advantages of temporal artery (ta) temperature
Infrared arterial temperature can be measured using a device placed on the
forehead, in the temporal artery region. It has been demonstrated that this relatively
new method of measuring temperature is more precise than tympanic thermometry
and better tolerated than rectal thermometry.
The JXB-178 thermometer has been designed to produce an instant forehead
temperature reading without any contact with the temporal artery. As this artery is
quite close to thesurface of this skin and therefore accessible and given the blood
flow is permanent and regular, it allows precise measurement of the temperature.
This artery is linked to the heart by the carotid artery which is directly linked to the
aorta. It forms part of the main trunk of the arterial system. The efficiency, speed and
comfort of taking a temperature from this area make it ideal compared with other
temperature measurements methods.
Normal temperature according to age
Practical considerations when taking a temperature
-
In order to ensure that precise and accurate temperature
measurements are
obtained, it is essential that each user has received adequate information on and
training in the temperature measurement technique when using such a device.
- It is essential to remember that although procedures such as taking a temperature
may be simple they must not be trivialised.
-
-
Temperature should be taken in a neutral context. The patient must not have
undertaken vigorous physical activity prior to taking his/her temperature and the
room temperature must be moderate.
Be aware of physiological variations in temperature which must be taken into
consideration when evaluating the results: temperature increases by 0.5°C between
6 am and 3 pm. Women have a temperature that is higher, on average, by around
0.2°C. Their temperature also varies in accordance with their ovarian cycle. It rises
by 0.5°C in the second half of the cycle and at the early stages of pregnancy.
- When sitting, temperature is lower by about 0.3°C to 0.4°C than when standing.
How to take a temperature
Aim at the middle of forehead,
from a distance of about 3cm~5cm,
press the thermometer’s measurement
button and the temperature
is instantly displayed.
The reliability of the measurement cannot
be guaranteed if the temperature is measured
over another part of the body (e.g.arm, torso…)
Constraints
Please observe the following before any temperature measurement to ensure a
stable and reliable result:
- Push back hair from the forehead.
- Wipe away any perspiration from the forehead.
- Avoid any drafts (e.g. from nasal specs, air conditioning…)
- Allow a 3~5 seconds interval between two measurements.
-
Each time there is a significant change in the ambient
temperature due to a
change in environment, to allow the JXB-178 to acclimatise to this ambient
temperature for at least 15 minutes before using it.
VI. Basic instrument
The type BF applied part: Sensor.
II. Intended use
The device is an infrared thermometer intended to measure forehead temperature of
infants and adults without contacting human body. It can be used by consumers in
household environment and doctor in clinic as reference.
III. Introduction
The JXB-178 Non-contact Infrared thermometer has been developed by using the
latest infrared technology. This technology allows temporal artery (TA) temperature
to be taken at a distance of about 3cm~5cm away from the forehead. Precise,
Instantaneous and without Contact, the JXB-178 is, up to now, the most suitable
thermometer for no risk on temperature measurement. It has been demonstrated
that this method of TA temperature measurement is more precise than the tympanic
thermometry and better tolerated than rectal thermometry (1).
However, as with other types of thermometer, it is essential to use the JXB-178
properly in order to obtain reliable and stable results. You are therefore advised to
read this instruction manual and the safety precautions carefully before use.
(1)Greenes D, Fleisher G. Accuracy of a Noninvasive Temporal Artery Thermometer
for Use in Infants. Arch Pediatr Adolesc Med 2001;155:376.
IV. Precautions before use
In order to obtain reliable and stable results, you are advised each time there is a
significant change in the ambient temperature due to a change in environment, to
allow the JXB-178 to acclimatize to this ambient temperature for 15 to 20 minutes
before using it.
It is important to allow 3~5 seconds interval between two measurements.
V. Operating principle
All objects, solid, liquid or gas, emit energy by radiation. The intensity of this energy
depends on the temperature of the object.The JXB-178 infrared thermometer is
therefore able to measure the temperature of a person by the energy the person
emits. This measurement can be taken thanks to anexternal temperature probe on
the device which permanently analyses and registers the ambient temperature.
Therefore, as soon as the operator holds the thermometer near the body and
activates the radiation sensor, the measurement is taken instantly
by detection of the
infrared heat generated by the arterial blood flow. Body heat can therefore be
measured without any interference from the heat of the surrounding environment.
THE DIFFERENT METHODS OF TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT
Core temperature
Core temperature is the most precise measurement and involves measuring the
temperature in the pulmonary artery by means of a catheter equipped with a thermal
probe which can read the temperature in situ. The same method is employed for
probes measuring the oesophageal temperature. However, such invasive
temperature measurement methods require specific equipment and expertise.
Rectal thermometry
Rectal temperature adjusts slowly in comparison to the evolution of the
body’s
internal temperature. It has been demonstrated that rectal temperature
remains raised
long after the internal temperature of the patient has started to drop and vice versa.
Furthermore, rectal perforations have been known to occur as a result of this
method and without appropriate sterilisation techniques, rectal thermometry can
spread germs often found in faeces.
Oral thermometry
Oral temperature is easily influenced by recent ingestion of food or drinks and by
breathing through the mouth. To measure oral temperature, the mouth must remain
closed and the tongue lowered for three to four minutes which is a difficult task for
young children to accomplish.
Axillary (armpit) temperature
Although it may be easy to measure axillary temperature, it has been proven that it
does not provide an accurate measurement of the child’s internal temperature. To
take this type of temperature, the thermometer must be wedged tightly over the
axillary artery. Despite the low sensitivity and relative inaccuracy of axillary
temperature in detecting fever, this method is recommended by The American
Academy of Pediatrics as a screening test for fever in newborns.

measurement technique is required. The thermometer probe must be placed as
close as possible to the warmest part of the external ear canal.
