It speaks to me ... - and yet can not convince

FIRST IMPRESSIONS
So far, I have always had a rod thermometer for oral temperature measurements. Even purely visually, the Beurer device differs from this. With a slight bow, it fits comfortably in your hand to put it on the forehead or ear.
Batteries are included and already used and a manual is included. This explains in 16 pages the proper use and the manner of settings.
The thermometer has a voice addition function, which represents the measurements. Who can do without the background music: The Speaker feature can be turned off as well. Otherwise the thermometer outside reminds a bit of a talking Wii Remote.

FACTS
The measuring range of the thermometer is in the ear / forehead thermometer mode at 34 to 43 ° C, in the object temperature mode at 0-100 ° C. The measuring accuracy is specified by the ear with plus / minus 0.2 ° C, at the end of plus / minus 0.3 ° C and the objects with plus / minus 1.5 ° C. All temperatures can also be measured in Fahrenheit. In addition, the thermometer has 10 memory locations at which the last measurement are stored.

Measurement in the ear
Here, the front cap is removed and aligned the sensor tip in the ear directly to the eardrum out. Then pressed to the "ear-button" and within seconds receives the measurement result. Test measurements (same) ear succession have in my results in one ear from 36.8 to 37.4 ° C result with an accumulation in the central region and three times the result of 36.9 ° C. In the other ear, the measured temperatures were 36.5 to 37.1 ° C. In both test measurements, therefore yielded results of up to 0.6 ° C difference.

Measurement on the forehead
In order to perform the measurement on the forehead, this must be free of sweat and cosmetics. Here is measured with the cap. The corresponding button "Forehead" must remain pressed while the sensor is performed uniformly over the end of one to the other temple. I do not know what is the role here friction, at least the temperature at me here mostly grown in the measurements and was in line with 36.7 to 37.1 ° C, 37.0 ° C were measured six times. Here the deviations with a maximum of 0.5 ° C were therefore lower than in the ear, but still higher than indicated.

[However, all different values ​​are currently under clinical repeatability, the plus / amounted to ear in adults minus 0.7 ° C and at the front plus / minus 0.8 ° C.]

OBJECT MEASUREMENT
When measuring temperature of objects you can easily switch the measurement mode on the device. To measure it should be noted that the distance of the sensor to the object should be about three centimeters.

CLEANING
Cleaning the sensor tip is recommended before each use. To this end, a soft cloth or cotton swab can be used, which may be moistened with disinfectant, alcohol or warm water. This is achieved with the cloth, however bad the outer edges of the sensor, which is easier with the cotton swab.

MY IMPRESSION
Measurements can vary succession that at each thermometer is actually clear. Nevertheless, I was disappointed by the dimensions of the variations in this expensive equipment. Well it is certainly applicable for children, since it is actually a matter of seconds the temperature measured. But nevertheless, I think such a high variation in a fever thermometer actually for the question.
The lighting of the display is insufficient. After this test tone is turned on briefly, then disappears very quickly. Here one must therefore either set the tempo of the day or pay attention to good lighting for reading.

To be honest, I'm disappointed with such a costly product with high angepriesenem "7 in 1" I would have expected much more. - Above all, a more accurate measurement accuracy!
