Non-Contact Thermometer Review
Non-Contact Thermometer Review

I really appreciate technology that is accurate,
easy-to-use, and reliable. My children are 7, 3 and one on the way. Only my eldest is in school, and when she
gets sick we all get sick. You would
think that as a teacher I would bring home more illnesses, but thankfully it
usually starts with my daughter. Prior
to getting the VeraTemp Non-Contact Thermometer I was using an oral (7) and
rectal thermometer (3). As you can
imagine it was wonderful to get a new thermometer that was non-invasive and reliable. My youngest gets fevers of unknown origin,
and it can be really scary when her temperature gets up to 103 and 104 without
any known reason. The last thing I want
to do when she feels that awful is take a rectal temperature. Thankfully, this thermometer is
non-contaminating, and I no longer have to designate thermometers to owners. All you have to do is hold the VeraTemp 2-3
inches from the center of your patient’s forehead, making sure to remove any
hair and hold the SCAN button. Within seconds the patient’s temperature is
displayed on the screen. I really think
this is an amazing product and that everyone should check it out.
