Is Microlife thermometer accurate?
1. Are Microlife infrared thermometers as accurate as hospital devices? The accuracy of Microlife infrared thermometer has been proven in clinics. Microlife infrared thermometers are manufactured to meet the same international standards as hospital devices.
Which infrared thermometer is the most accurate?
ennoLogic – eT650D. The ennoLogic – eT650D proved to be the most consistently accurate infrared thermometer and is our choice for best overall. It has dual-laser technology with a 10:1 distance-to-spot ratio. Its temperature range is -58 ℉–1202 ℉, one of the broadest of the thermometers we tested.
Is infrared body thermometer accurate?
Research has shown that, when used correctly, infrared or no-contact thermometers are just as accurate as oral or rectal thermometers. No-contact thermometers are popular among pediatricians, as kids often squirm around when trying to get a temperature read, but it also holds true in mass temperature screenings.
Which kind of thermometer is most accurate?
Digital thermometers
Digital thermometers are the most accurate way to measure body temperature. There are many types, including oral, rectal, and forehead, plus many that are multifunctional.
Which thermometer do hospitals use?
TRITEMP™ thermometers are an essential piece of equipment in hospitals but they can be used in a wider range of medical settings, including dentists, care homes and doctor surgeries.
Why does my forehead thermometer give me different readings?

Do infrared thermometers expire?
Thermometers do not expire, but they do have to eventually be replaced.
Can Microlife infrared thermometers be used to measure room temperature?
Yes, Microlife infrared thermometers offer a wide range of measurement from 0 – 100.0 °C / 32.0 – 212.0 °F, meaning the thermometer’s can also be used to measure milk surface temperature in a baby’s bottle, surface temperature of a baby’s bath or ambient temperature. 5. Does room temperature affect readings?
How does the Microlife ear thermometer work?
The Microlife ear thermometer measures infrared energy radiated from the eardrum and the surrounding tissue. This energy is collected through the lens and converted to the correct temperature value. 2. Why may I get different readings when taking many measurements?
Are infrared thermometers accurate?
A: Infrared thermometers are an accurate and convenient instrument to make quick measurements of surface temperatures. The accuracy specification of an IR thermometer depends on each individual model. Most infrared thermometers will have a measurement error of ± 2.0%.
How often should I check the accuracy of my Microlife thermometer?
The Microlife thermometer performs a function check each time it is turned on. So, as long as you do not get an error message (“ERR”) proper technique will result in accurate results. In accordance with international standards we recommend that you ask your authorized Microlife dealer to perform an accuracy check every two years. 4.
