| I have the original model and this one. I am a school nurse and am using both of these in my office and just love the ease and quick accurate readings I get using them. The instructions say to use it on the forhead and that the forehead needs to be dry or it will reflect the laser light. In darkness you just hold down the laser light button until it is one circle on the forehead (dry) and let go and get the temp. Use the memory button to get your reading once you are in a lit room. It reads low when kids have not eaten breakfast or have drank something cold. It can be used on the carotid artery in the neck area also. I have a backup B&D digital mouth thermometer to get a second reading if I have any questions. This might be needed once or twice a day max. Love this as there is no spit to be touching and my severe disable kids are not bothered with it. I have used this for 6 hours a day for the last 10 months and all I had to do was change the battery. Love love love this product. KMRN |
Excellent non-contact thermometer

This product arrives in packaging with a manual and an instructional CD-ROM. I would advise the company to forget the expense of the CD-ROM and just stick with the manual. A simple flash video on their website could illustrate use of the device.
Essentially one takes temperature by holding down a button and bringing the thermometer towards the surface to read. When the two projected red dots converge, the button is released and an infrared reading is obtained and stored in memory as well.
The converged dot ends up being only about 1.5 cm in diameter at the correct reading distance - under an inch and it is not hard to find an area to read. The correct reading distance is about 2 inches away.
The manual recommends the central forehead, but I have gotten temperatures matching true core temp a little better by measuring a little to the side in the temporal area, possibly due to better temporal artery perfusion.
Note that alternate reading sites are recommended for those with heavy sweat on the forehead or makeup. Also, immediately after heavy physical activity, readings may be less reliable.
The genius of a noncontact thermometer is that there is no part that contacts a sick child or patient, and thus reduced risk of spread via the thermometer. Also, there are no little plastic covers to have to re-buy (and hope that they still make them), unlike the ear thermometers and many of the digital oral thermometers. Finally, no contact means that it can be performed on sleeping children and the degree of cooperation necessary is less.
A great product for cold and flu season. It replaces an ear thermometer for us that was not always fun to use in fussy children and we always regretted waking them at night to use the ear thermometer. Moderately expensive, but as a home-use consumer (and as a physician) I recommend this. |
I use this in my health office as a school nurse

| I was given this infrared thermometer as a tester equipment for my school health office. I service the medically fragile students and this has been a very nice, accurate, fast temp taking thermometer. It reads in less than 3 seconds and is quite accurate if used properly. Just read the directions. I like that it never touches a student's body/mouth therefore no spread of germs between patients. I may buy one for my home use. KMRN |

| i love this thermometer! i love the fact that i don't have to wake my baby up to take his temperature or invade his personal space when he's feeling sick, and that it only takes about 3 seconds to give you a reading. i tried different thermometers; the pacifier, the ear therm., the underarm therm. and they were not for me. the pacifier took too long to give a reading & when your baby is fussy w/ a fever, he really doesn't want to have a pacifier in his mouth, not to mention he doesn't want to stay still for the ear therm. and especially not for the underarm therm. i think i disliked the underarm therm. the most as it would always give me two completely different readings under each arm & the temperature was always way too low. this thermometer is very accurate and really easy to use. the only flaws? i wish that you could get a reading from a little further away, as you have to hold it pretty close to your child's forehead, & i wish it would come with a protective case, as it's a pretty expensive thermometer & it can be damaged pretty easily if dropped. i definitely recommend this for anyone to buy & use, especially for those who have children, as it's a life saver when it comes to getting an accurate and fast reading (very fast). |

One of the greatest frustrations as a parent is reading the temperature of a sick and cranky child. So assume that you finally got your cranky and sick child to sleep. The last thing you want to do is wake your child by touching a cold thermometer to their skin. So buy this thermometer! It doesn't touch the skin to do a reading. While this is pretty cool, the coolness doesn't stop here. You can read temperatures from the forehead, naval, or armpit. It also measures the temperature of the baby's bottle, temperature of the bath water, and room temperature.
So from parent speaking to all others out there in Internet-land, "Buy this thermometer! You will not regret it." |
