Non-Contact Infrared Thermometer,Forehead Thermometer for Adults， Kids, Instant Readings, Fever Alarm.

I have been tracking our family's temperatures using a digital temple thermometer (DTT) in contact with the forehead as well as this IR unit aimed at the same spot on the forehead. I have recorded both temperatures measured within 30 seconds of each other for two months during which I acquired twenty pairs of measurements at different times of day. The averages differ by only 0.1 degree F in the device's "body" mode.For evaluation of the "surface mode" I used a NASA-calibrated research-grade IRT as the reference and generated thirty-two pairs of measurements for various surfaces ranging from 40 F to 125F. The averages for the two instruments differed by only 0.5 F despite the lack of consistency in the emissivities of the test surfaces and the wide temperature range.The device is point and shoot - the only cautions are to be sure the mode switch is in the body mode and the instrument is pointed at bare skin on the forehead or temple for fever measurements.For reading IR temperatures of objects, set the mode to "surface" and point at the object. Keep in mind that the IR temperature depends both on the thermodynamic temperature and the surface IR emissivity. The two temperatures are the same only if the surface emissivity is one (like a black body). If the emissivity is less than one, the IR temperature will be lower. That's what the "body" mode on the device does- it corrects for the lower emissivity of skin compared to a black body. It does not depend of the visible skin color - only the emissivity in the IR portion of the spectrum.I have made hundreds of measurements with the unit and have not yet had to replace its battery. The manual is small but complete and easy to read. I am delighted I bought it.

Does what it’s supposed to do. Convenient, accurate with color coding.

I needed this to keep a check of my body temperature. I have M.S.Works just fine, very easy to use, just aim it at your forehead or body and turn it around to see the temp.It also keeps memory of your temperatures. And you can change it from head to surface temperature which means, point it at "say" your wall to see how hot or cool it is. That's really cool. Shows up in a green color.I like it and use it often, especially with Covid around these past few years. Good product

Very easy to use no contact thermometer.This is a nice handheld infrared thermometer. We used to have a forehead one that you rubbed across the forehead and our baby wiggles too much I’d have to retake the temperature and was never sure it was accurate! This one is point and shoot and so easy to use on the baby, but can also be used for surface temperatures. Yes I measured the table, the bananas, the lightbulbs. Kinda fun. It took a second to figure out how to cycle through the modes to change from Celsius to Fahrenheit, turn the beep sound off and on, and check the fever alarm. Yup you can set it to go off at a certain temp to fever alert.I have been very happy to have found it at an affordable price point. The led backlight has 3 colors: green, yello and red (changes based on temperature range). This thermometer is very quick and reads the temperature under 1 sec (impressive).

I have purchased three of these now. One for our household, one for my wife's parents and one for her sister's household. In this pandemic, every house should have a 'covid station' where you sanitize yourself before entering the home and you can screen anyone who wants to enter. The cost of this thermometer is nothing, compared to the cost of someone being ill from contacting someone else who has been infected with this horrible virus. The thermometer is very easy to use. Just point at the forehead and squeeze the trigger. Not only will you get a super accurate reading instantly, you will also get a color coded signal, green for safe, yellow for low grade temp, and red for fever. This thermometer is a great investment in the safety of your family. Five stars.
