The Rycom Infrared Forehead Thermometer provides convenience, accuracy and precision when taking a temperature. The infrared technology used in this thermometer takes the temperature of people and objects without any physical contact between the thermometer and the person or object. The thermometer measures body temperature from approximately 1-inch from the forehead, making it less invasive and threatening than other thermometers, as well as more sanitary. This thermometer also measures the temperature of objects and liquids, making it useful for determining if a baby’s milk or bathwater is ready.
