The infra red thermometer is a new product that has been made by a company called Kidz-Med Inc.
So what is the benefit of an infra red thermometer over a regular one?
The answer is very simple, an infra red thermometer is a “non contact” thermometer that takes a temperature reading from a human being or animal without the need for any physical contact.
The thermometer, called “thermofocus”, reads body temperature through a reading taken from the radiated heat that leaves the body, so it requires no thermometer-to-skin contact.
This new thermometer is also very accurate when used properly.
The reading should be taken by pointing the thermometer at the forehead (which has a main artery supplying it) and this produces results that are superior to all non invasive standard thermometer readings.
Naturally, taking the temperature of most people is not a problem, but for babies and young children this device allows clinically accurate and reliable readings without body invasion, or frightening the patient.
Sorry, no link for this one!
