Measuring the temperature of older children

For older children and adults, the digital flexible-tip thermometer can also

be used to measure temperature orally (in the mouth) or axially (in the

armpit).
Do not use the flexible-tip thermometer for oral temperature

measurements on babies.
If the thermometer has been used rectally or in the armpit without

hygienic covers, do not use it for oral measurement anymore for

hygienic reasons, not even after cleaning.
