Product Review: TURNED A SKEPTIC INTO A BELIEVER!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This product was recommended to me by a friend that is a nurse. IT WORKS GREAT!! Maybe the person that wrote the negative review has a defective one (because I have never had any problems). It's very accurate. One night I had my 6 month old in the ER with a fever and the nurse looked at me like I was an idiot when I showed her this thermometer. She proceeded to tell me that the most accurate way to check a baby's temperature is rectally (which used to be the only way that I would check my kids' temperatures when they were babies). Well, my thermofocus and her rectal thermometer gave the same reading!!!! She admitted that she had been very skeptical and that she wouldn't have believed me if she hadn't seen it for herself (which I don't blame her because I felt the same way before testing it out for myself).
The ABSOLUTE best thing about this thermometer is that you can check the temperature of your baby when they're sleeping. Seriously, HOW GREAT IS THAT????
Also, in my experience, the ear thermometer and the one that you scan across the forehead are WORTHLESS---they always give very different readings.
Product Review: Takes a little study, but a lifesaver when it counts
Summary: 5 Stars
Got this just in time for our daughters first bad fever. Certainly need to read the instructions, store it in the room you are most likely to be using it and then you will be really happy with it. I couldn't have imagined having to disrupt her every time we wanted to know how she was doing! We still used a rectal thermometer at changing times, and used readings of our own temperatures as a test. If you don't like technology or reading instructions, you might not like this thermometer. I found that if you follow the directions and can trouble shoot the reason behind an occasional errant reading you will learn to love this thermometer when you really need it!Product Review: The coolest thermometer ever!

My husband is a paramedic and this is the thermometer they use on the ambulances: quick, easy, painless, silent, non-contact (don't need to clean or use covers). When I found it here for ~$55 we were stoked - we have a busy 3 yr old and a 1 month old...so much easier than traditional and more accurate than the ear or forehead thermometers!Product Review: Thermal temp

This is wonderful. I am an RN and bought it for many patients I see each day. I wanted something fast and not have to disinfect each time or use covers. It is awesome. You do have to wait for it to come to room temp is the only drawback in the winter time.Product Review: Thermofocus themometer

I have the original model and this one. I am a school nurse and am using both of these in my office and just love the ease and quick accurate readings I get using them. The instructions say to use it on the forhead and that the forehead needs to be dry or it will reflect the laser light. In darkness you just hold down the laser light button until it is one circle on the forehead (dry) and let go and get the temp. Use the memory button to get your reading once you are in a lit room. It reads low when kids have not eaten breakfast or have drank something cold. It can be used on the carotid artery in the neck area also. I have a backup B&D digital mouth thermometer to get a second reading if I have any questions. This might be needed once or twice a day max. Love this as there is no spit to be touching and my severe disable kids are not bothered with it. I have used this for 6 hours a day for the last 10 months and all I had to do was change the battery. Love love love this product. KMRN
