Customer Reviews:

doesn't give accurate readings

Both my wife (a registered nurse) and I tried using this as specified in the directions, and it consistently gives LOW readings. My son's temperature was 101 (according to two other thermometers used several times) and this said several times it was only 96. Get the Exergen Comfort Scanner for $10 more instead, it is what our pediatrician uses and actually works.

Disregard Three Stars - It's a Waste of Money

I first rated this item about a month ago after three or four uses. I pulled it out today for the first time since then, and it was dead. I tried replacing the battery, and nothing happened.

I can't update the number of stars provided, but it I were to rate it again today, I would give it one.
