Customer Reviews For Safety 1st Hospital's Choice 8 Second Digital Thermometer |
 Pediatric Nurse |
| Review Date: December 13, 2004 |
| Reviewer: Nurse Betty, |
I am a pediatric nurse for a large childrens hospital, specializing in ages 1 day-5 years. If you have a child you suspect is running a high fever, check the temp rectally. None of our docs accept tympanic "ear" temps because they are NOT ACCURATE. So many times we've gotten 101-103 temps with the ear scanner then 99-100 rectally. They won't even allow the hospital to purchase any more and have removed them from the hospital.
Hope this helps! |
Good thermometer, great price

| I received this thermometer as a shower gift. After reading the reviews posted here, I decided to find out if mine was accurate. I tested it on myself against my other digital thermometer, finding 1/10 of a degree difference orally, then against my Braun Thermoscan Plus (finding 4/10 of a degree difference, orally vs. ear). As my other digital is very old, I don't know if the degree difference was from quality or age. While the difference with the Braun may seem alarming, it is actually quite normal. Body temps read differently when taken axillary, orally, rectally, and by thermoscan. There can actually be as much as one degree difference in the readings (with axillary and oral reading lower than rectal and thermoscan). Read your product info cards, take a few readings, and realize that thermometers do not read the same temp from different body locations. I am KEEPING my Safety 1st Thermometer. It's accurate and extremely affordable! I will not use my Braun on my infant until she's much older - nearly all pediatricians want a rectal temperature anyway. |
great for rectal temps

| I have read the other reviews and can't comment on how well it does in other areas, but I have been using it for rectal temps since my daughter was born 15 months ago. I am now pregnant again and plan on buying another one for the second baby (for hygienic purposes, not because anything is wrong with the first) I like that it has a flexible tip and a line to tell you how far to insert so that I don't worry as much about injuring her. For those of you that have a hard time taking rectal temps, I recommend laying your child over your lap with butt up and legs dangling, they can't fight you too much that way. (...). I don't remember specifics, but you of course will not get the same temperature reading from an armpit vs. rectally. Good thermometer overall, I highly recommend it. |
Great thermometer!!

| I've had no problems with this thermometer at all. We regularly use it with our now 8 month old son and have since he was born. We use it primarily for rectal temperatures and it has always been accurate and quick! It has a flexible tip and a raised rim to prevent overinsertion when taking rectal temps. Overall, well worth the low price!! Also, for the reviewer who hadn't even purchased the product, the temperature measured at different parts of the body (rectal, ear, underarm etc) varies from core body temperature, so it is entirely valid to add to a temp taken from underarm, for example, to obtain the true core temperature. This is done routinely - even at my pediatrician's office. It doesn't mean the thermometer doesn't work. Also, several pediatricians I've talked to definitely recommend taking rectal temperatures at least for the first 6 months as this is the most accurate temperature in infants. |
Excellent!!

I've unfortunatly had to use this recently for the 1st time. It's so easy to use!! I've always been scared to use a thermometer rectally but I wasn't nervous with this one at all. The reading was very quick and easy to read. It saves your last reading so you dont have to try and remember what it was last time to know if your baby's temp is better or worse. It also has a backlight on the screen so you can use it in the dark, which is nice if the child/baby is sleeping and you dont want to turn the light on and wake him/her up to take their temp.
And I LOVE the way to folds up inside itself so you dont worry about loosing the cap or cover, which I always do.
This is a quality thermometer and especially for the price!! So easy to use and much more accurate than the ear thermometers (dont EVER buy one of those, theyre a complete waste of money and dangerous to your baby by being so inaccurate!!) |
