Digital infrared thermometers are much faster and less complicated to use than oral thermometers but not all offer the same level of accuracy.
If you want one that you can trust, the iHealth no-touch forehead thermometer on Amazon has been thoroughly tested on people of all ages, from babies to the elderly, and found to deliver the same readings as manual thermometers. Usually priced at $54.99, it's now been reduced to $19.99, offering you an affordable way to stay safe and look after the health of your friends and family.
With a built-in infrared temperature sensor, the iHealth PT3 thermometer can read a person’s body temperature within 1.18 inches from the center of the forehead without physically touching the person. This is great for measuring kids' temperatures as they don't need to stay still long.
The thermometer reads and shows the temperature in just one second on its easy-to-read, extra-large LED display.
Easy to use: The iHealth thermometer can be used on yourself and will deliver an accurate reading in seconds. It has more than 140,000 five star reviews on Amazon
When you fall sick, it's important to get an accurate temperature reading so you know when to contact a healthcare provider and they need this information to asses your condition and work out what care you need.
The iHealth thermometer ensures maximum reliability every time the temperature is taken thanks to Tri-Point Sensory, taking into account firstly the heat as well as distance from the forehead and environmental factors.
For the reduced price of $19.99, you're getting impressive, cutting-edge technology as the heat reading comes from an ultra-sensitive infrared sensor that collects more than 100 data points per second.
The back of the thermometer has three sensors. The top measures heat, the bottom measures distance and a small sensor on the left records environment factors
More than 140,000 shoppers agree that this is the best thermometer they've ever used with one impressed reviewer writing: 'This is the best thermometer I’ve ever seen or used. It is lightning quick, makes no noise and gives reliable readings every time. Even if you have a pretty good thermometer it is worth it to upgrade to this.'
Another added: 'I found this thermometer to be accurate, easy to use and a great addition to my first aid kit. In these uncertain health conditions it is a must have.'
To make reading a temperature easier, there's a large LED screen display which can even be seen in the dark. As it vibrates when a temperature is recorded without beeping, you can use the device on a sleeping patient without disturbing them and allowing them to rest.
