Ok ok I have read your complaints as stated on these previous reviews.
Yes the enclosed instructions may be somewhat confusing. But PEOPLE! are we not level headed adults? Use your common sense here. You simply touch the sensor head to the forehead and gently slide it over a few inches to the side of the forehead (the side hairline) where the temporal artery is. And you get your reading. Easy sqeezy.
Ok ok this vicks product is NOT as accurate as the Exergen Temporal thermometer. But safety is the issue at hand here. Over these past years we have become accustomed to the fast efficient EAR thermometers. Yes they are abit more accurate because the measure closer to the actual inner temperature (right off of the Ear drum capillary supply).
But the covers which are required to protect the sensor are dangerous. Their dimentions 25x27 mm would unfortunately fit too nicely into a childs trachea. Of course we all try to keep these kinda things away from the children. But if one of these clear pliable plastic covers falls onto the carpet.....well the possibility is real.
If its accuracy that is an issue then you have to go with an oral (under the tongue) thermometer. HA - try getting that temp reading in a feverish cranky toddler.
These forehead thermometers give you a good enough accuracy to determine if the temperature is alittle elevated, ie; 99.6 or something to be concerned about and take action, ie; 101.6......... And there are not dangerous caps to worry about.Get more detail about Vicks Forehead Thermometer.
