Thermometers are devices that measure temperature (i.e. heat). The word 'thermometer' is of Greek origin and consists of two parts. 'Thermo' means heat, whilst 'meter' means to measure or a measuring device. Put together, these two words convey a meaning of thermometer, a heat measuring device. Body temperature thermometers are specially designed devices that measure body temperature.
Body temperature is an important indicator of physical condition status, current activity level, overall wellbeing or illness. During fever or illness, body temperature can be elevated. When you do not feel well, it is prudent to check your body temperature and continue to monitor it for the duration of the illness.
There are many different types of personal body thermometers available and choosing the most suitable one for you or for your entire family is very important.
Choosing a Thermometer
When choosing a body thermometer for personal or family use, there are a number of factors to consider. These for instance include the number of people and children that will use the thermometer. Comfort, speed, accuracy, where to measure (i.e. underarm, mouth, rectum, ear, forehead), clarity of reading and overall ease of use should all be considered. Choosing a reputable brand and a value for money price are also important. People with larger families often opt to have more than one thermometer in their home, enabling different ways of taking temperature and for back up, if measurements need verification or when one thermometer is accidentally damaged or lost.
On this page we present a selection of different types of high quality branded digital personal body thermometers suitable for adults, children and babies. Amongst top quality brands that are well recognized for their accuracy as well as excellent value for money are the following brands of body thermometers:

The DT-22 Prestige infrared digital ear thermometer features unique thermopile probe. The thermopile probe does not require use of probe covers. The thermopile probe can be simply wiped clean after each use with soft cloth moistened with alcohol. Alternatively, sterilising moist wipes can be used. However, if the DT-22 thermometer is used more widely and on many different people, disposable covers can be used for consistency of hygiene. Disposable probe covers can be purchased separately if required.
Prestige DT-22 ear thermometer measures the core body temperature through the ear. The DT-22 measures the infrared heat generated near the eardrum. Temperature in the ear reflects the temperature of the inner body very accurately. Changes in core temperature are detectable at the ear drum point earlier than when measured elsewhere. The ear measurements are also more accurate, because there are fewer factors near the ear drum that can influence temperature measurements. For instance, drinking of cold or hot fluids prior to oral temperature taking can affect the readings accordingly and very cold room temperature can influence forehead temperature readings.

- Celsius and Fahrenheit readings
- 10 memory capacity
- Measuring range 34 drees C - 43 degrees C (93.2 degrees F - 109.4 degrees F)
