Tympanic measurement of body temperature with FirstTemp tympanic thermometer was compared with mercury rectal thermometers in 155 adult patients in a department of abdominal surgery. The tympanic thermometer did not correlate well with the mercury rectal thermometer with a correlation coefficient of 0.70. The median rectal temperature differed from the median tympanic temperature by 0.34 degree C, a factor which could be corrected by changing the temperature shown on the display from the "oral" mode into the 0.40 degree C higher rectal "mode". Care should be taken not to measure the temperature in an ear, on which the patient has been lying recently.
在腹部外科的一个科室中，对155名成年患者使用FirstTemp鼓膜体温计测量体温，并与水银直肠体温计进行比较。鼓膜体温计与水银直肠体温计的相关性不佳，相关系数为0.70。直肠温度中位数与鼓膜温度中位数相差0.34摄氏度，这一差异可通过将显示屏上显示的温度从“口腔”模式更改为高0.40摄氏度的直肠“模式”来校正。应注意不要在患者近期躺过的那只耳朵测量体温。
