Dr. Talbot's Non-Contact Infrared Thermometer

Product Information

Large digital display is easy to read and provides temperature results with no fuss or confusion. The thermometer's simple-to-use design switches easily between Fahrenheit and Celsius with the press of a button. This three-in-one thermometer is designed to measure the body temperature, that of a room, and surfaces. If you are taking the temperature of a child, you don't need to disturb him as you can accurately do it within a distance of 3-5 cm from his forehead. It is fitted with a 3-color changing LCD screen to help the user determine if the subject is normal, has a high temperature, or is just medium. Note: Do not hold the thermometer for an extended period in the hand before taking the measurement. You should only hold the thermometer for as long as it takes to take a measurement.

Infrared thermal imaging cameras: these kinds use cameras to measure the temperature at different points over a larger area to create two-dimensional images called thermograms. The technology applied to the devices is more hardware and software intensive compared to regular infrared thermometers. The construction of infrared thermometers comprises an optical system to collect energy, an emissivity adjustment that matches the calibration of the thermometer to characteristics of the object and a detector (thermopile).

The medical thermometers measure the temperature of your temporal artery blood, which is equal to that of your body. While being very accurate, medical infrared thermometers handle a narrower range of temperatures than the gun-style models and need to be held closer to the skin. A good example of this type is the Withings Thermo – Smart Temporal Thermometer made by a trusted European producer. Best Infrared Thermometers for Humans Compared Fast and Easy Temperatures Readings: Taking your family’s temperature with this digital thermometer is as simple as pointing, and pressing a button. It uses infrared technology, and can show readings in Celsius or Fahrenheit.When choosing your infrared thermometer, make sure that it is made by a trustworthy brand-name company to get a truly reliable device. Among the most trusted brands, Withings and Fluke are to be highlighted. Age Precision Technology: The Fever Guidance System provides a color coded reading based on different levels of fever by age group selected. Used by more pediatricians offices than any other brand

Multi-Mode Thermometer: The digital thermometer is designed for all ages, adults, infants and elders. It not only supports forehead function, but is able to take room/object temperature. ℃ and ℉ are easily switchable. Advanced versions factor is adjustable emissivity for more accurate readings. Experts allow a +1% margin of error when using professional IR thermometers and +2% for less expensive devices. Keep in mind that normal body temperature varies from person to person. Your body temperature might be up to 0.6°C higher or lower than the guidelines above. Identifying your own normal range can make it easier to know when you have a fever. A nine-volt battery powers it and the low-battery indicator should alert the user when it needs to be replaced. Note that the lasergrip 1080 does not measure the internal temperature of the object thus, it can't be used to obtain the temperature of animals and humans. Pros: Its wide temperature range allows application on auto maintenance, cooking, home repair, and barbecuing, among other household tasks. TAs such, users can view the temperature of the surfaces before searing the meat or putting the pizza on a stone. Fluke Corporation is one of the world leaders in diagnostic, test, and measurement equipment, including electronic test tools. Founded in 1948, the company has been producing accurate, portable, and safe test tools for decades. Today, Fluke Corporation headquarters in Everett, WA, and owns production facilities all over the world. The company’s product range includes devices for temperature, RF, pressure measurements as well as measurement software. An efficient infrared thermometer should factor in this feature based on the type of object in question because various surfaces emit radiation differently. After receiving Dr. Talbot’s thermometer in the mail, I couldn’t wait to give it a try. Knowing that everyone in my house was healthy and fever-free, we gave it a whirl to see how accurate it was. For years I’ve been using the thermometer that goes into the ear. As I mentioned above, this can be a nuisance because you never know if you’re doing it right. So, I was more than excited to just be able to aim this at my child’s forehead and get immediate results.

Fast and Accurate Readings: Getting reliable and accurate readings within 1s, and accurate to within 0.1℉. Professional ABS materials, safer than the traditional mercury thermometer. The distance to spot ratio affects the accuracy of the readings from the thermometer. The rate is determined by the size of the area being measured in relation to the distance. No, because air does not emit radiation energy and its emissivity is too low to be detected. However, users can determine its temperature by pointing the thermometer at an item that has the same temperature as the air. Pros and Cons of Infrared Thermometers Complete Features: Practical,easy to use, aim to the body forehead and press the scan button. For your convenience, the tested temperature unit can be displayed in either ℃ or ℉.he Super IR5D has a built-in laser that delivers instant results displayed in the form of Max/Min/Average/Diff values on the LCD screen.
