Product Reviews of THERMOSCAN 1-SEC RD THERMOMETR Size: IRT3020

Product Review: DANGEROUS = Choking Risk
Summary: 1 Stars

Yes all the Braun ear thermometers are great when it comes to taking a child's temperature. It is unrealistic to try to take an oral temp when a toddler is feverish.

The problem lies with the disposable covers "lens filters". They are cone shaped: 25mm deep, with a 27mm diameter. Unfortunately somewhat collapsible. Inhaled it would fit neatly into a trachea or mainstem bronchus.

So the real potential exists that a misplaced cover may be inhaled by a child. Thus blocking the airway. Leading to acute respiratory arrest.

I feel compelled to offer a safer alternative. There are Temporal Scanners which obtain the temperature by gently caressing across the forehead. No covers no danger.

Product Review: Not reliable
Summary: 1 Stars

I don't understand this thing. It gives me drastically different readings in the same ear several times in a row as well as my baby. One minute it shows I have a fever of 100 degrees then in the same ear a moment later I'm 97.6 degrees. I don't trust this to read my baby's temperature. VERY disappointed after what I spent on it.

Product Review: Terrible.
Summary: 1 Stars

Waste of money. It worked decent for about 2 months. It's ridiculous now.

I might not be the most technologically advanced, but I know how to take my own temperature and follow instructions. Wayyy too inaccurate for the price. I'd rather have an accurate reading of my child's tempertaure even if it means less convienance.
