There you are.. you just got your sick baby to sleep and you realize that’s it’s time to take her temperature. You walk into her nice quiet nursery thermometer in hand, you stand above your sleeping baby and wonder.. how am I going to do this without waking her? Will the probing or the beeping noise wake her? Which one will it be? Whichever comes first, in my experience.
Over the last twelve years when taking my kid’s temperature whether while there were awake or asleep, I have often wondered why there wasn’t a non-intrusive, quiet, thermometer available. All I wanted was a thermometer that I wouldn’t have to stick in my child’s ear, mouth, or butt while he/she was sleeping, in order to check his/her temperature. That day has finally come!
No probing. No beeping. No wondering if you’re going to wake your child up. I love it!
I received the Kidz-Med VeraTemp Non-Contact Thermometer at just the right time. My five year old daughter has not been feeling well for about a week. You know the drill.. coughing, stuffy nose, lethargic.. but she doesn’t have a fever. I checked with two thermometers; our old ear thermometer and this new thermometer. Both thermometers read the same 98.4 degrees. Which does my daughter prefer? The “no pokebeeping” thermometer. The entire family affectionately refers to the Kidz-Med VeraTemp Non-Contact Thermometer as the “no pokebeeping thermometer” and we’ve used it a lot this past week.
The Kidz-Med VeraTemp Non-Contact Thermometer has three modes; Body, Room, and Surface. Use Body mode to take your child’s body temperature. Hold the thermometer about 2 inches away from your child’s forehead and push the scan button. The LCD screen lights up with the temperature display right away, no waiting, and you will NOT hear a beeping sound. Hallelujah!
The Kidz-Med VeraTemp Non-Contact Thermometer is great for germaphobes (that’s me!) because we don’t have to worry about coming in contact with germs that may be on the thermometer. I HATE putting things in my mouth or ears. Except food and drinks of course but I don’t put those in my ears.
I am impressed with the accuracy of this thermometer. I tested it next to our thermostat and sure enough, the temps matched.
