II. INTRODUCTION
The tia NC-9900 no contact thermometer has been developed with the latest
infrared technology which allows temporal artery (TA) temperature to be taken
at a distance of approximately 2 – 6in (5-15cm) from the forehead.
Precise, instantaneous and without contact, the tia NC-9900 is the most
suitable thermometer for no risk temperature measurement. Studies show
that TA temperature measurement is more precise than tympanic (ear)
thermometry and far more comfortable and better tolerated than rectal
thermometry. (
