Discover why I gave it a 4-star rating.
Its also available atAmazonat a regular price of$37.
The Amazon price is similar toiHealths No-Touch Forehead Thermometer, which has a list price of$35.
Exergens price is comparable toBrauns Thermoscan 7, which has a list price of$51 at Amazon.
The thermometer is an elongated shape and is easy to hold in the hand.
Above, youll find the LCD screen.
The 9V battery is housed at the reverse in the battery compartment.
I did find the battery hard to remove, so I wouldnt suggest removing and replacing it between uses.
However, Exergen suggests doing this if the thermometer is used infrequently to save the battery from leaking.

There is also a QR code which it’s possible for you to scan for instructions.
But, before taking your first temperature, Id recommend going through the parameters on the thermometer.
Firstly, you might switch between using Fahrenheit or Celsius, although Fahrenheit is the default setting.

A beep will indicate the setting has been changed.

A beep will indicate that the setting has been changed.
Press the button twice, and the number 2 will appear before the second most recent temperature is displayed.

Release the button and read the temperature.
Each time I took a temperature, I took about 2 seconds to swipe a forehead.
I was pleased that the LCD alerted me that the temperature readings were either high or low.
However, the probe will need cleaning.
The rest of the casing can be cleaned with a cloth with alcohol.
It also has options to reduce the light and sound to avoid disturbing young children and sleeping patients.

Plus, just a sweep of the forehead gives an instant temperature reading without any fuss.
