What is normal temperature for TemporalScanner?

97.4 -100.1°F.
At MGH, the TAT is set to ARTERIAL or CORE mode, so a normal temperature is 97.4 -100.1°F. TAT is set to CORE temperature; therefore results are NOT comparable to an oral temperature and are NOT interchangeable with oral temperatures. Precision of the TAT is driven by proper technique.

Why is my exergen thermometer not working?

Do you add a degree to forehead thermometer?

A temporal thermometer will read at about 0.5 to 1 degree lower than an oral thermometer, so you need to add 0.5 to 1 degree to get what your temperature would read orally. For example, if your forehead temperature read as 98.5°F, you could actually have a low-grade fever of 99.5°F or higher.
