Questions & Answers

What if you want to use this on an adult?

I guess so, in theory. Nevertheless, I would think that positioning it would be difficult, as the bulb (part your hand holds) would have to be placed right up to where it will be inserted. To get the best temperature reading you should buy a rectal thermometer.

When the temperature is read, does the temperature beep in a different pattern? What are the two distinct patterns I am observing?

My ears have not been able to distinguish between different patterns of beeping. When it starts, I hear a beep, and when it is done I hear another beep. Is it possible that the batteries are

Do I need to replace the disposable probe cover each time I use it?

As for the cover, I did not use it. To lubricate and clean the tip, we used KY Gel, wiped it with a baby wipe after use, swabbed it thoroughly with alcohol on a cotton pad, and dried it with an air compressor Is dried out.

Applied the thermometer to the rectal area
3/5

This is disgusting. It wasn't working for me after it came opened. There was evidence that the battery area had already been tampered with. Can anyone tell me why they would send you a rectal thermometer that was opened?.

The only thing I would change is the length of the backlight
4/5

There is no better termometer than this one. The first fever my son has ever experienced occurred just a few hours ago. The first time I used it, but he didn't mind having his temperature taken. I've used it a few times before, but this was my first sickness with it. You don't need to worry about how far it's in or how far it's too far, since it slides in easily. A beep is also emitted when it is There is only one thing I wish you could do leave the backlight on all the time, or have it come on automatically once the reading is completed.

When it stopped working, it worked well
3/5

When it stopped working, it worked well. Within a few months of using the device, temperatures started reading abnormally We were waiting in an urgent care and found that my son's temperature was much higher on their equipment than this one. For a thermometer of such high cost, this is disappointing!.

I don't care
3/5

Though you'd think that the design would be easier to use, it isn't. The temperature can be read at the same time it is being recorded, but it is harder since the sensor is right next to Whether it's hot or cold, we always use the Vicks.

An error in the design
3/5

The design of the site is poor. The pieces of plastic fit together right at the end, but the gap in the plastic is too large. It's easy to see that these are going to collect a lot of poop, so I am returning them.

The information is wildly inaccurate
3/5

A reading that is not accurate. It is ridiculously low in some cases. I was not too worried about my baby's health when he was in septic shock low.

With our small and gentle instruments, there is no feeling like you are taking a recital temperature as a monster
5/5

I used this after we were battling our first fever after we got the baby's shots. With our small and gentle instruments, there is no feeling like you are taking a recital temperature as a monster. She hasn't even noticed that I am changing the diaper. It was wonderful that the backlight was on during the night as well, so you didn't have to struggle to see what the reading was when it was.

Spending money on something you don't need is a waste
3/5

I was not satisfied with the product. A reading would have been far off if it got one. It cost quite a bit, so I was disappointed. The Vick's 3 in 1 oral, rectal, and axillary is a better option. The above is a much more accurate translation.
