Digital Non-Contact Ear and Forehead Thermometer for Adults and Kids with Fever Alarm

With two young children, a good quality and accurate thermometer is a must have in any first aid kit, irrespective of whether it's likely to get frequent or infrequent use. I chose this one because it's non-invasive - meaning no intrusion and more importantly no spreading of germs. Also because it's supposed to take accurate readings in 1-second measurement, with zero waiting time. Inside the box is the thermometer and a grey velvet like drawstring bag, and the instruction manual. A quick start guide too. This particular thermometer focuses all its efforts on taking infrared readings by pointing at the forehead or in ear readings, assuming this works and works accurately. Also, as it is non-invasive, you can take temperature readings whilst the child is asleep. Thankfully, the manufacturers have seen fit to supply two AAA batteries so all you need to get started is to fit the two batteries in the back of the thermometer. It has a fairly large and easy to read LCD display window whether the display is illuminated or not. Within the display are also some icons - a house (room temperature), ear (indicating ready for in ear reading), a baby (differentiating between 0-6 years, 6-12 years) and adult (12 years +). There are three actual buttons on the thermometer - measurement button on top of the display (the trigger button), baby - adult button (to reflect the age of patient) and an "M" which is used to switch between room and forehead or ear readings (keeping the M pressed down for 5 seconds enables the memory - the checking of earlier readings). To measure, press the trigger button, point and release the trigger button. It does indeed provide a reading after 1 second. Suggested distance between reader and forehead is 1cm - 3cm. Forehead readings : - Readings between 32° - 37.5°C, the thermometer display will light up green and beep - Readings below 32°C, the display will indicate "Lo" (red illumination) - Readings between 37.6° - 38°C, the thermometer display will light orange and beep - Readings above 38.1°C and the display will illuminate and flash red. The fever warning This range is pre-programmed. Other points of note - Pressing down the trigger for 5 seconds will turn the volume either on or off. - Can alternative between Fahrenheit and Celsius - Also, the thermometer automatically shuts down after some seconds, so battery should last ages. According to the manual, forehead readings tend to read between 0.2° - 0.8° lower than rectal (I intend to believe this and definitely no plans to prove it 😊). Also that a woman's body temperature generally is 0.3° higher than a mans. So far so good, but the real test is how do results compare ?? Very well actually. Based on a sample set, and not uncommon for these types of thermometers, I got to an average 0.3-0.4°C difference when comparing forehead to in ear readings, which I am led to believe is on par forehead vs in ear. In ear constantly consistently delivering a higher reading but not materially different from the forehead reading. Overall I am very satisfied. It does indeed does its job well and quickly and therefore I cannot ask for more !!

Had the item for a couple months and the device started to become faulty and started giving false and inaccurate readings so we returned back for a full refund. Seller did not respond to my messages

Great product for babies and putting my mind at ease. It’s small enough to carry around, and I’m happy the readings have been correct. Easy to use and value for money

I need to take my son's temperature three times a day and the thermometer I currently have is one of the organic ones, which are super good, but they take a while to rise, so I bought this one that measures in an instant by infrared, from the brand The outer casing of the thermometer is made of plastic material, measures 5x5x17 and weighs about 110 grams. It has two modes of use, for the ear or for the forehead, to use it on the forehead you have to use it as it comes, to use it in the ear you have to remove the cover from the front so it is more anatomically shaped. It has a screen that indicates the temperature, the screen changes color depending on the measured temperature, white (start), green (normal), orange (mild fever), red (high fever). I really like it, you can measure the temperature in a second and even without touching your forehead, which is great.

Took my baby to nursery and to the doctor after just having taken his temp, which showed in a normal range. Both the nursery and the doctor said he had a very, very high fever. There’s no way the spike happened that quickly, there’s clearly an issue with the device (he felt flushed and hot, even while showing no temp)

Works fine, what more can I say, it does the job it's designed to do.

We bought this because we needed one with a backlit screen. This one is simple and easy to use, and offers ear, forehead and room temp options. However, having used it a few times alongside another ear thermometer and an armpit one, I seriously question the accuracy of it. It was adamant that me and my wife both had a temp of 36.8 even though I could feel she was burning up - sure enough the armpit thermo said she was well above 38. When measuring room temp it also read 1.5-2 degrees colder than the room thermometer in my daughters room. Clearly more testing would need to be done but I’m pretty sure it under-reads by enough to be significant.

Funktioniert sehr gut und misst auch sehr genau!

Siempre había utilizado termómetros digitales pero sin mucha confianza en su precisión y fiabilidad, y dada la situación sanitaria actual y la próxima "vuela al cole", me planteé comprar uno de infrarrojos que de verdad me diera confianza. Encontré este que, además de tomar la temperatura en la frente sin contacto, lo hace en el oído e incluso toma la de los objetos, alimentos, etc, cosa muy importante sobretodo para usar en bebés. Cuando lo recibí, me sorprendió su tamaño que lo hace muy manejable y ergonómico pero, sobretodo, su facilidad de uso pues sólo debemos seleccionar si queremos tomar la temperatura de un niño menor de 6 años, de 6 a 12 o mayor, o de un objeto, acercarlo a su frente (o introducirlo en su oído quitando la tapa imantada) y en apenas un segundo nos indicará el valor numérico con una color de fondo de la pantalla que nos indica si es normal, fiebre baja o fiebre alta. Funciona con 2 pilas ya incluídas y, además de su manual de instrucciones, incluye una funda protectora para guardarlo. Personalmente, lo recomiendo sin lugar a dudas, ya que es preciso, fiable y muy cómodo de usar.

Arrivato prima del previsto, credo merito di amazon, è comodo, tascabile, funziona bene senza contatto, preso per la verifica della temperatura su cantiere. Preciso, ha e istruzioni in italiano ma è semplice capire da soli come funziona: ha tre posizioni di temperatura (0-6 anni; 6-12 anni; sopra i 12 anni) credo sia per i range di temperatura, regolato quello con il pulsante con la persona di profilo si preme quello con la temperatura e appare la lettura. L’ultima rimane memorizzata, ci sono altre funzioni, ma devo dire che non le ho studiate: a me serve rilevare la temperatura e segnarla su un foglio, e per lo scopo è perfetto! Prodotto consigliatissimo!
