Baby Products Reviews of Safety 1st Hospital's Choice 8 Second Digital Thermometer
Customer Review: Very good thermometer
Summary: 5 Stars
This thermometer seems faster then most thermometers I have used before, but I have not verified the 10 seconds claim ;-) I have only used it rectally on my baby because it is the most accurate way to get her temperature. The fact that the tip bends is very helpful because babies move a lot when you are trying to get their rectal temperature (it must not be very pleasant). The thermometer folds quite compactly and the display is very clear and has a light. This is a great buy.Customer Review: Pediatric Nurse
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a pediatric nurse for a large childrens hospital, specializing in ages 1 day-5 years. If you have a child you suspect is running a high fever, check the temp rectally. None of our docs accept tympanic "ear" temps because they are NOT ACCURATE. So many times we've gotten 101-103 temps with the ear scanner then 99-100 rectally. They won't even allow the hospital to purchase any more and have removed them from the hospital.
Hope this helps!
Customer Review: cannot get rectal temp with it
Summary: 2 Stars
this thermometer beeps when it is done taking the temperature and works fine under the arm or orally. but, for some reason, when done rectally, it has never beeped to let me know the temp taking is complete - it just shuts itself off after 10-15 seconds. very frustrating as i'm trying to get newborn's temp to know if i need to take her in or not and i'm never assured that i'm getting an accurate reading. for oral or underarm it is fine.Customer Review: Very accurate
Summary: 5 Stars
My son is 4 months old and I've used this thermometer at least 10 times and found it to be very accurate. I don't know if the other users are taking into account the fact that you need to add and subtract a few degrees when using it rectally, orally and underarm. I've heard that the ear thermometer isn't accurate for infants, but is better for older children. I think this one is great for infants.Customer Review: Quickly Inaccurate
Summary: 1 Stars
According to my new 10 second digital thermometer, I have died recently and am rapidly cooling off. I have found that it is inaccurate by several degrees and is inconsistent. I was attracted by the quick reading time and other good reviews. Unfortunately, I won't bother using this thermometer on my son since I can't trust the temperature it tells me.
