Reviews FeverWatch Professional Clinical Non-contact Infrared Thermometer Forehead

Anyone with kids knows that even a surface thermometer can cause angst. This FeverWatch Professional Clinical Non-contact Infrared Thermometer Forehead is great - no on/off button or complicated process. Just aim it at your child's (or anyone's) forehead and press the trigger. 1 second later you have the temperature. I have tested it numerous times on myself comparing it to our trusted name brand digital thermometer and I always get accurate results.

Someone mentioned everyone having 102 degree fevers in their home you need to point the device squarely in the middle of the forehead. I highly recommend this FeverWatch Professional Clinical Non-contact Infrared Thermometer Forehead or an infrared thermometer in general if you have small children. Great for general use but especially handy to take kids' temps or when traveling.

• Accurate and quick reading (less than 1 second)
• Intuitive guidance system
• Adjustable audio alarm for high temperature
• Memory of the last 32 temperature recordings
• Low energy consumption: 100,000 on 2 AA batteries

It's extremely easy to use (just pull the trigger) but do insure that it is the correct distance from the forehead. The FeverWatch Professional Clinical Non-contact Infrared Thermometer Forehead measures the temperature of the blood flow in the skin at the particular spot at that particular moment that you pulled the trigger.

Thus, as you move the thermometer around various locations on the forehead, you are going to get slightly different readings because the blood flow in the skin will vary from location to location. As the instructions indicate, the most accurate temperature will be over or near an artery, so the ideal is over the temporal artery. Great deals on a huge selection FeverWatch Professional Clinical Non-contact Infrared Thermometer - Forehead.

You can get a good screening on a sleeping child, for instance, by taking several readings on the forehead and then recording the highest one. Always use the highest reading upon which to base your decisions and actions. The simplicity of operating this device removes the element of "did I do it right?". Highly recommended.
