Thus Visiomed created a thermometer without contact with the body taking the infrared temperature using a "flash" (therefore invisible to the naked eye). Increasingly acclaimed by the medical profession (my GP has the gun-shaped version), this multifunction thermometer is a real revolution.
As stated in the booklet accompanying the product, other temperature measurement modes (rectal, armpit, in the ear, ...) has all the drawbacks (random temperature measurement, possible injuries, ... ). With this device, the temperature measurement is no longer a concern in children, especially when it is sick. The device is placed towards the front (right hemisphere side) and presto, the temperature appears instantly. If the process is amazing and can worry about in terms of reliability, the few controls carried out with a thermometer "old" appear consistent in terms of accuracy. The LCD screen allows for its part a quick temperature reading, displaying different colors depending on whether the temperature is in the standard or not. A voice, loud dissonant, can complete visual information, but it is my opinion that you quickly choose silent mode ...
Regarding other functions (surface temperature measurement (eg bath water) and temperature in a room), they appear pleasantly complementary, without justifying to themselves, only purchase. Again, no distortion with the checks carried out with an internal thermometer and a bath.
Nevertheless, some points appear painful to wear. First, the obligation to leave the thermometer "fit" for ten minutes at room if you move and there is a temperature difference between rooms (typical example: the bathroom and rooms are often heated differently). So if you want to check the bath temperature but have forgotten to put the thermometer in the first bathroom, damn it. Another point "painful", mandatory interval between temperature measurements (between one to two minutes) when my child has an abnormal temperature, I often rebuke him immediately to make sure of the data. There, it is not possible, and it is therefore not very practical ...
Made these reservations are not sufficient to spoil the very positive impression of this new generation thermometer. Allow to take the temperature reliably and without entering an object in any port of the child, that should reconcile these with technology!
