Product Description
The Safety 1st Accu Scan Ear Thermometer lets you take your baby''s temperature accurately in just one second. Thermometer takes 16 measurements and averages the highest four to give you a precise reading. Your little one''s fever should be monitored closely and meticulous. This thermometer gives you a hand with nursing your baby back to feeling better.

Editorial Review
If you envy the ease with which the doctor can take a squirmy baby's temperature, this is the thermometer for you. Simply place the soft end of this easy-to-handle tool in the ear, press a button, and receive an accurate reading in one second. The Accu-Scan comes with a five-year lithium battery and disposable covers, so the whole family can use it without spreading germs. The LCD screen lights up for easy nighttime readings, and the memory recalls the last eight measurements. --Trilby Cohen

2 out of 5 stars Waste of Money!!!!   August 12, 2005

I bought this Thermometer when my second son was born, thinking it would be easy to use and good for the money. My husband and I tested it on ourselves to see how accurate it was. We both got 5 different readings. I didn't see what the need of the plastic covers were for, since we ran out of them quickly.(Not to mention, you can't find replacements anywhere.) My biggest complant was that after a month, the product completely stopped working, even after changing the batteries. I would suggest paying the extra money to get a better thermometer.

I bought this item in preparation for my first child. I tried it 8 times on me and my husband and got a different reading each time, from 94.2 - 102.3!! I returned it the next day, don't bother!!

Every single time, the reading is way low - around 94.9 or something like that. It is extremely unreliable. Don't waste your money!

I don't usually bother complaining about products, but this thermometer was such a waste of $, I just wanted to save someone else the trouble. The temperature readings on this are SOOO inaccurate. EVERY time that we check a temp. it is different, it varies alot. Just to see if it worked we tried 8 times in a row on ourselves to see what we got. Every time it was different sometimes by a few degrees. It reads low sometimes, so you may have a temperature and not be aware. And we couldn't even take it back to the store. Do yourself a favor by the regular digital thermometer.We didn't have any luck with a diffferent brand either, the ear ones are all off, but not as bad as this one.

I bought this thermometer for my daughter when she was first born. It is AWFUL! It gives strange readings like 94.5 and 95.1, when in fact I know that she has a fever! I bought just a regular digital rectal thermometer at the pharmacy and it gives more accurate readings. Don't buy this, its a waste of time and $$$$$$!
