Thermofocus Non-Contact 5 in 1 Thermometer

This is the best thermometer for babies, kids, and anyone else for whom keeping a thermometer under their tongue is a challenge. The ear thermometers HURT and are only as accurate as the user's ability to really seat them deep into the ear canal. The temporal thermometers are dependent on one's ability to follow the path of the temporal artery. This thermometer is very visual in nature. You press a button, point it at the forehead (there are alternative sites as well) and two lighted circles appear. Then you move it closer or further away until the two lighted circles merge into one and release the button. Voila`! Instant temp reading! Because it never touches the "patient", there is no cross contamination; no covers to constantly buy! I have purchased over 20 of these for use at a residential facility where they are used several times a day. The batteries have lasted well over 6 months with frequent use. The Thermofocus I bought on this site was a gift for a relative who swears by it for their 8mo old and 5yr old. I love these thermometers!

Useful product for taking temperatures of infants.

i still don't know how to use this thing properly. it's the latest technology, but not reliable. very accurate, but not usable. I put money into it and will make it work, but I was hoping it wouldn't have to be so hard.

great product, easy to use, point /push instant results. only downside is there is no backlight, making it a little difficult to read in a dim/dark room.. my kids (who gag with an oral temp) are appreciating this product also.

The temperature readings appear to be low and sometimes not very accurate.
