Guest guest Posted September 25, 2002 Report Share Posted September 25, 2002 we have anew Braun that has been very effective and accurate for us- I follow up high temps with the butt plug and is it right on target- I also use those forehead strips and when they register a temperature I go another route-lets see what consumer reports says about them.............

Guest guest Posted September 25, 2002 Report Share Posted September 25, 2002 Beck- I think it does make a difference. Those ones look different. Thanks for the info. I think I will try those sticky ones recommended. Those would be great, in theory of course! > You know what we ordered ours through my work and got a healthcare model- iw > wonder if that makes a difference????? > Beck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 26, 2002 Report Share Posted September 26, 2002 It must make a difference because the first thing the nurse at the hospital told me during the overview to be released was, " don't use those ear thermometers, they are never correct " . > You know what we ordered ours through my work and got a healthcare model- iw > wonder if that makes a difference????? > Beck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 26, 2002 Report Share Posted September 26, 2002 i have a newer on..01model..i don't like it..it does the same thing..3 dif reads in 2 min!! hopefully a diff brand will work better...good luck brenda OT- thermometers Sorry to go off topic here. Our ear thermometer broke. I got it in 99. It is a Braun. I was never impressed with it. You take a temperature 3 times in 2 minutes and all 3 are very different. Does anyone have a newer Braun that they like, or that forehead one. My kids won't hold still for me to do the armpit or any other "penetration" sites.TIADane's mom DOC GradFor more plagio info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 27, 2002 Report Share Posted September 27, 2002 Beck- Wow! Thanks for doing all that research. Do you charge a fee? You saved me some bucks. I was thinking of trying the forehead one, but the reviews weren't that good either. > Well, everything ih ave read about ear thermometers says they are crap and > even the hospitalsare going back to the old fashion oral temp-so I don't know > what to tell you have you seen this brand?

Guest guest Posted September 27, 2002 Report Share Posted September 27, 2002 Yeah, my old pediatrician told me that they don't work on little ears. It's impossible for it to read in such a tiny space. She said ear thermometers are ok for older kids with bigger ear canals. I don't trust 'em though.
