Omron MC 514 Ear Thermometer with Advanced Temperature Scanning Review

Omron MC 514 Ear Thermometer with Advanced Temperature Scanning
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This thermometer works like this:
you press a button to turn it on, you'll hear 1 beep to signal battery is ok. Then you stick it in the ear, and wiggle it around until you hear two beep which signals that you've positioned it correctly. Once you hear the two beeps, hold it in that position and press the button again to mark the result.
Ignore the other reviewers' comments on inaccuracy.
The key to this and *ALL* ear thermometers is you have to practice getting it placed correctly in the ear channel. At least this model tells you that you've put it in the correct position, with the 2 beeps sequence. Once you've practiced getting it right, I get fairly consistent readings.
The difference between this and a $10 rectal thermometer reading is 0.2*F. The difference can easily be accounted for because you're measuring two different parts of the body.

This model is spec'd to be accurate within +/- 0.5* F, (same as the $10 rectal thermometer, by the way).
Even though I don't know how accurate other brand's are spec'd to be, but I'm pretty sure you can't get much better than this in terms of accuracy. For goodness sacks, temperature readings could be thrown off by 1 or 2*F by the earwax in your ear or whether you had a cold beverage in the past couple of minutes.
Expecting any more is unreasonable in my opinion.

Samsung Healthy Living TET-01BN Digital Ear Thermometer Review

Samsung Healthy Living TET-01BN Digital Ear Thermometer

I am very glad I got this as there have been many flues around this year. Why I wrote a review: Mine will not read poperly unless I wipe it every single time I use it. This advice is written right on the thing but I thought (for my own crazy reasons) it was being facetious. It works perfectly when you wipe it with a dry cotton swab every single time you use it. I think this is probably the main reason its receiving poor reviews. Hope this review helps so that when one needs it to work it will.

FeverWatch Professional Clinical Non-contact Infrared Thermometer - Forehead Review

FeverWatch Professional Clinical Non-contact Infrared Thermometer - Forehead
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
As an RN working at two hospitals, I have tried this unit for a week, so far it has been great and the other nurses and aids I have shown it to, most of them are going to buy one. It is so easy and fast to use I feel I am really saving time, as for accuracy it is better than any oral thermometer I have ever used, the real mean average body temp is 98.2 not 98.6 so this one reads closer to the correct temp. I picked up a mild fever with this unit that the hospitals $450.00 thermometer could not pick up due to the client not being able to close his mouth all the way. Every hospital should use these to save time and money. This one works on all ages unlike thermofocus. The only negatives are that for me it is too big to comfortably put in your pocket and feels like the typical Chinese plastic that if dropped may destroy it. Have not dropped it yet so I am not sure how tough it really is.

The FeverWatc non-contact infrared (IR) clinical thermometer provides a simple, expedient, and accurate way for initial fever screenings by taking the surface temperature of areas on the face such as the forehead or tear ducts. It obtains the body temperature reading with 0.3 degree accuracy in less than 1 second through a click. The FeverWatch IR thermometer features an intuitive guidance system to secure positioning and confirm accurate readings. Temperatures (Fahrenheit or Celsius) are displayed on a huge back-lit LCD screen for easier reading even in total darkness. Adjustable audio alarm will alert you if the temperature is too high. Since there is no contamination risk, one can immediately start again to scan the temperature of other family members or individuals without having to disinfect or changing the tip. FeverWatch was designed specifically for forehead temperature detection from a 1"-4" (5-15cm) distance with an 89-109 F(32.0-43.0C) temperature range. Unlike other IR thermometers that only measure surface temperature, FeverWatch is clinically calibrated to convert the forehead temperature reading(external surface) into internal body temperature which is one of the most important vital signs for human being. It can also store 32 temperature readings for future reference. The bright back-lit LCD screen displays readings even in darkness. A sleeping baby or patient will not be disturbed by the FeverWatch as it is used nor will it cause any discomfort if they are awake. For public health authorities, it provides a simple, quick, Non-contact, and non-invasive way to perform preliminary mass-screening for H1N1 fever (swine flu) infection symptoms (body temperatures above 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit or 37 degrees Celsius). FeverWatchTM can take over 100,000 readings on a single set of 2 AA batteries (included). With its rugged, impact and water resistant design, FeverWatchTM is able to take over 3,000,000 measurements in the product's lifetime.

Temperature Check 4-in-1 Digital Infrared Thermometer (Ear/Forehead/Ambient/Clock) Review

Temperature Check 4-in-1 Digital Infrared Thermometer (Ear/Forehead/Ambient/Clock)
Average Reviews:

We purchased this thermometer at the recommendation of our doctor's office.
We love how quick, easy, and accurate it is. We don't even have to wake up
our son to get the reading. Just a simple scan of the forehead and presto!
The best feature of this unit is its ability to display in both Centigrade
and Fahrenheit. We are used to using the Centigrade scale at home, and our
doctor uses Fahrenheit, so it's great to easily convert between the two. I
would recommend this unit to anyone and thank for [...]

Prestige Medical Single Hand One, Tube Aneroid Review

Prestige Medical Single Hand One, Tube Aneroid
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I'm an LPN, 4yrs experience, work in homecare so I travel from house to house, up to 12 patients per day. That's alot of BPs! I wanted to eliminate the "tubes everywhere" feeling I get when I whip out my old school bp cuff, so I thought a bulb with gauge attached would be the best instrument for me.
It is. It's the best for trimming down your equipment and never having the patient hold anything for you:)
But it's cheap. You get what you pay for. The first one I received, had to be sent back due to it not calibrated upon arrival. The second one was calibrated, but boy does it take quite a bit of pumping action in order to take a normal person's bp. Seriously. Patients look scared after a solid 30-40 seconds of me pumping up the cuff... they think I'm going to pump too much and their arm is going to fall off. It takes alot to get it up to 120mmhg.
So, Good Enough...for now:)
