Reviews Professional Clinical Large LCD Non-contact Infrared Thermometer Forehead by Santamedical

This has got to be the best thermometer I have used so far. I bought this Professional Clinical Large LCD Non-contact Infrared Thermometer Forehead for my newborn, I wanted something that would be accurate and not bother him too much while taking the readings.

Our son was taken to the hospital ER recently after his 2 day + high fever was not controlled with Tylenol. We brought this Professional Clinical Large LCD Non-contact Infrared Thermometer Forehead, thinking that it might have been inaccurate, like all home thermometers seem to be.

Reviews Welch Allyn Suretemp Plus 690 Electronic Thermometer #01690-200

I am an ICU nurse and in that environment temp is incredibly important. This Welch Allyn Suretemp Plus is the thermometer brand used in the hospital (one of the top 10 in the nation) and they work quite well. The ones in the unit are the 692 model, but there are no additional features those add that anyone really uses except the wall mount. In fact, the 690 and 692 share the same manual.

Temps are taken on each patient 2-3 times per 12-hour shift, and more if there is any concern. We take temps via oral or axillary (armpit) routes. We never do rectal with these. I love this thermometer. Don't get me wrong, it is definitely an expensive purchase. However, the money was well spent. This Welch Allyn Suretemp Plus 690 Electronic Thermometer is the best thermometer I have used. It is common to see in use at medical offices. Quick and reliable.
