In fact, it is necessary to replace the earmuffs of ear thermometers. Changing earmuffs can prevent cross-infection. Ear thermometers with earmuffs are also very suitable for medical units, public places, and families with high hygiene requirements. Now I will tell you about ears. How often should the warm gun earmuffs be changed? Parents should understand this aspect in detail. How often should the ear thermometer be changed?
First, one earmuff can be used 6-8 times, and there is no need to change it at a time, which is too wasteful; different people suggest using different earmuffs, which is cleaner and more particular. Wipe the earmuffs with alcohol and cotton to increase the frequency of using the earmuffs.
Second, there are 2 types of earmuffs: repetitive earmuff type: after each use, wipe the earmuffs with a cotton swab dipped in medical alcohol.
The advantage is that the earmuffs can be used repeatedly, but the disadvantages are: ①If the earmuffs are stuck with grease or dirt, the accuracy of the next temperature measurement will be affected; ②The earmuffs will be worn or scratched after repeated wiping. Traces, which will affect the accuracy of temperature measurement; ③It takes a long time (about 5min) to perform the second measurement after wiping the medical alcohol, so multiple measurements cannot be performed in a short time;
Third, disposable earmuffs: change the earmuffs immediately after each use. Its advantages are: ①There is no need to worry about temperature measurement inaccuracy due to wear or dirt of the earmuffs; ②The second measurement can be performed 15s after the first measurement. The only disadvantage is that the matching earmuffs are consumables.
Fourth, there is another type of ear thermometer without earmuffs: this kind of ear thermometer will invade its optical path system (waveguide) in daily use, which will cause permanent temperature measurement of the ear thermometer. This type of ear thermometer is designed by some manufacturers to cater to the consumption concept of the Chinese people. There is no need to change the earmuffs. The advantage is that it is convenient. The disadvantage is that the measurement results cannot be guaranteed to be accurate. Therefore, earphones from world-class brands such as barun, omron, etc. There is no earmuffs design for warm guns.
Advantages of ear thermometer
1. Fast: As long as one second or less, accurate body temperature can be measured from the ear.
When the baby continues to have a fever, it can be measured at any time to quickly know the change in body temperature.
2. Gentle: It is comfortable to use, so gentle that the baby does not have any uncomfortable feeling, even when measuring while sleeping, there is no need to worry about waking the baby?
3. Accurate: Detect the infrared heat emitted by the tympanic membrane and surrounding tissues, and then use the built-in microcomputer chip to quickly calculate the accurate body temperature, and display it to one decimal place, which solves the difficulty of recognizing the traditional thermometer scale.
The new one-second thermometer can scan the body temperature eight times in one second and display the highest temperature reading, which ensures the accuracy of the measurement.
4. Safety: The traditional mercury thermometer is easy to break when exposed to heat or improperly placed, and mercury is emitted. If the mercury thermometer breaks in the human body, the mercury vapor will be absorbed by the human body.
It has been found that children’s long-term exposure to mercury will cause nerve damage, and pregnant women who eat fish contaminated with mercury will cause damage to the fetus. Moreover, the measurement time is long, and the ear thermometer overcomes the shortcomings of the above mercury thermometers.
