AccuTherm™
MEDI-Scan Clinical Forehead Infrared Thermometer
FDA Cleared
Non-Contact Forehead IR Thermometer is specially designed to take the body temperature of a person regardless of room temperature.
Ensure accurate and stable body temperature readings, which is particular efficient for quickly screening the temperature of groups of people, newborns and very young children.
From a distance of around 5cm all you have to do is point toward the forehead and read the temperature on the LCD screen.

Q. What Body Temperature should I expect with an IR?
A. The average normal oral temperature is 98.6°F (37°C). ... An armpit (axillary) temperature is usually 0.5°F (0.3°C) to 1°F (0.6°C) lower than an oral temperature. A forehead (temporal) scanner is usually 0.5°F (0.3°C) to 1°F (0.6°C) lower than an oral temperature.
The National Institute of Health research said that a forehead thermometer's readings can become inaccurate if the child's forehead is sweating or if the child is moving. These two variables can be rather difficult to control when it comes to children. Multiple attempts of obtaining a temperature on same patient will not result in the exact same readings. This is normal. The likely hood of taking a subject temperature in the exact same, precise, position on the forehead, from the exact same distance will vary on multiple attempts.
