ADCTemple Touch Digital LCD Fever Thermometer, Non Invasive and Quick Read, Suitable for Babies, Newborns, Kids, and Adults, Adtemp 427, White

Accurate readings

I love how small this thermometer is. I actually got this one to compare to my other one and they read the same exact temperature. So id say it’s very accurate!

For the price, this is a very decent thermometer. Best way to acclimate and get comfortable using- is to try this on a few people a handful of times!! BUT.. listen to me when I say- try this when it arrives, before you ever need!! That way, you can eliminate added stress of learning to use at the worst time possible- When you or someone is ill!Sure! It’s not full proof… But, if you take the time to learn by taking same person‘s temperature x3-4 in a 10min period and do the same with another willing participant- you can get a good feel for it. This will become easy to use/read/navigate. Once you know the creature comfort’s… You should be able to get an accurate read the first time.Personally, I always double check any thermometer read- I will take a temperature, wait a few minutes and do it again as a rule of thumb- just for peace of mind!! ** Also, as a mom… I know when to go with my gut! It may sound crazy but it’s true. if, person feels feverish/warmer than their normal temp. Better to be safe than sorry and act on it. (I have a Dr. Dad from Stanford- with all his medical training, he advised me nothing is more certain than what you know to be true as a parent! If you think fever- you act.. and 9/10... you’re right!) I know- not all users are parents- sorry, bear with me!!So, how to practice/trouble shoot:You need- thermometer, 2+ willing participants-1. person #1 gets temperature taken x3-4 within 10min. Time frame, and should produce the same or, slight .01 variation. The specifics of trial/error of where to place on temple will reveal themself. I call this spot the “sweet spot” on the temple..Think where you rub when tension headache happens- place and HOLD (no swipe!) till beep sounds.. A little practice and this will let you know how to work/how long to leave in place etc., and it will show you by results.. that it works, and with the repeated results, it will assure that it’s accurate read-2. Person #2 you will do the same thing in between testing your first person.. why? Most likely.. neither of these 2 have the exact temp. as the other- therefore, giving you accuracy that it can read different people/temperatures and do so quite easily!Sorry- trying to be clear I may have made that more of a mess?!! Follow instructions, practice for ease of use when needed.. it works and if you do as it says, you shouldn’t be disappointed!** I Purchased for $12.99- ive seen this fluctuate in cost- FYI, if purchasing keep an eye on price!!

This was being used by the home health nurses assisting my husband so I finally asked what brand it was thinking if professional healthcare staff were using it, it must be good. BINGO. I threw out 5 other almost useless digital thermometers and now have one that actually is simple to use and works all the time. Those point-n-shoot ones are notoriously inaccurate and it’s inconvenient to have to place a sheath on oral thermometers. It cleans quickly with an alcohol prep pad. Would buy it again.

How much easier is this to use! Roll across the forehead and done! Perfect!

The ADC Temple Touch Digital Thermometer has been a bit challenging to use with a wiggly baby. I hoped it would offer more accuracy than a touchless thermometer, but I keep getting varying results each time. It might be better suited for a more stable situation, but for now, it's been somewhat inconsistent.

So finicky that you basically can't trust it.I just took my kid's temperature 7 times with this thing, being careful to press the sensor in the dimple of her temple each time. Then I took her temperature in the surrounding areas near her temple. All readings showed 97°.She's visibly feverish so I took her temperature my backup thermometer and got 102.4°.This backup thermometer seems accurate since the other, healthy, members of my family are showing normal temperatures on it. So I do think that this issue is related to this forehead thermometer - It's not accurate.

This is absolutely the best thermometer I have ever owned. All I have to do is touch this to a forehead and I receive a temperature. I don't have to place it in an ear or a mouth and it is very fast.
