Commissioning and operation:
Actually, commissioning and operation are absolutely easy and intuitive, but in the instructions are very useful information not only for the proper use and interpretation of the thermometer, but also information on the subject of temperature in humans. Very good, I find that for certain patient groups warning limits are called, in which action is needed.
Not recommended is the thermometer for premature babies and for their gestational age small babies, and the assessment hypothermic temperatures.
Measurement: The measurement is absolutely simple; it sets the thermometer switched on the point between the eyes, or keeps it at a distance of about 5 cm in front of and pushes the button to start the measurement shortly. After 2-3 seconds, the measurement result is displayed. Even at first glance displays the backlight of the display if the temperature in the green, yellow or red area. An interpretation of the temperatures is in the manual.
The measurement accuracy is +/- 0.2 ° C in the field 35 '42 ° C. The measuring range is from 34.4 '42.2 ° C. These are the details of the package leaflet and I have not once questioned, until I had a gripalen infection recently and got in quick succession off each display at several measurements at different temperatures. To confirm this, I asked my husband to carry out the measurements, because I myself indeed may not always be completely accurate, the "AF" meet. These measurements gave each a different temperature. The fluctuations were not as great as some wrote here, but still not satisfactory. Therefore, I have revised my review again.
I have measured the old mercury thermometer: 38.3 C, 38.0 C, 38.1 C
with a small electronic ear thermometer: 38.0 C, 38.0 C, 37.9 C
with the Brown NTF: 37.9 C, 38.5 C, 38.7 C, 38.2 C
Thus, the precision of the device in these measurements must be mentioned not very good.
Conclusion: The Brown NTF3000 No-Touch and forehead thermometer while providing a simple temperature measurement, which displays the current body temperature not only in babies and young children quickly and without contact in a very short time, but I would because of the detected non-satisfactory precision the measured value at best as see tendency.
