FEVER BOSS INFRARED THERMOMETER

Use for Babies -

Forehead and ear infrared thermometers can give a false reading in newborns/babies under 3 months, as infants give off heat mainly from their head, so you usually get a higher reading. For babies under 3 months, we recommend a digital thermometer placed under the arm. 

Forehead Vs Ear Measurements

A forehead measurement is considered more accurate. An ear temperature will usually be 0.5 degree higher than a forehead temperature. 

Forehead No-Touch Temperature: 

• Age: any age over 3 months
• Aim the thermometer at the center of the forehead.
• Stay 1- 3 cm away. Do not touch the forehead.
• Do not move the thermometer during use

Ear Temperature: 

• Age: 6 months and older (not accurate before 6 months)
• Reads the heat waves coming off the eardrum.
• A correct temp depends on pulling the ear backward. Pull back and up if over 6 months
• Then aim the tip of the ear probe between the opposite eye and ear.
