PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Overview
Infrared Thermometer measures the body temperature based on the
infrared energy emitted from the forehead. Users can quickly get
measurement results after properly scanning the forehead.
Normal body temperature is a range. The following tables show that
this normal range also varies by site. Therefore, readings from different
site should not be directly compared. Tell your doctor what type of
thermometer you used to take your temperature and on what part of the
body. Also bear this in mind if you are diagnosing yourself.
