 very good basic rectal thermometer February 23, 2005

A thermometer is a thermometer. This one has a few great features in comparison though. It folds in to itself to store so there's no cap or cover to lose. The tip is flexible and rubberized so you don't accidentally injure or poke the baby while he's squirming around trying to get it out of his bum. The digital display is easy to read and the start button easy to press (you'd be surprised at how many other thermometers I went through simply because I couldn't get it to start). It auto shuts off.

I am a pediatric nurse for a large childrens hospital, specializing in ages 1 day-5 years. If you have a child you suspect is running a high fever, check the temp rectally. None of our docs accept tympanic "ear" temps because they are NOT ACCURATE. So many times we've gotten 101-103 temps with the ear scanner then 99-100 rectally. They won't even allow the hospital to purchase any more and have removed them from the hospital.
Hope this helps!

I received this thermometer as a shower gift. After reading the reviews posted here, I decided to find out if mine was accurate. I tested it on myself against my other digital thermometer, finding 1/10 of a degree difference orally, then against my Braun Thermoscan Plus (finding 4/10 of a degree difference, orally vs. ear). As my other digital is very old, I don't know if the degree difference was from quality or age. While the difference with the Braun may seem alarming, it is actually quite normal. Body temps read differently when taken axillary, orally, rectally, and by thermoscan. There can actually be as much as one degree difference in the readings (with axillary and oral reading lower than rectal and thermoscan). Read your product info cards, take a few readings, and realize that thermometers do not read the same temp from different body locations. I am KEEPING my Safety 1st Thermometer. It's accurate and extremely affordable! I will not use my Braun on my infant until she's much older - nearly all pediatricians want a rectal temperature anyway.
 Not accurate at all July 26, 2003

Don't waste your money, very inaccurate. Spend a couple more $$ and get the Braun Ear Thermoscan...works great in 1 second.
This is going in the garbage can, worthless.

I got this as a shower gift and it is so inaccurate that I am better off just trying to guess. My daugter had a low grade fever when we went to the doctor but the thermometer read 97. Don't waste your money or time.
