The Hushtemp is a no-touch infrared forehead thermometer for babies and kids. Hold it 3-5 cm from the forehead (about the width of two fingers) and press the button. The reading takes 1 second, so a child can stay asleep during a check.
A color light shows the result: green for 37.4°C and under, yellow for 37.5°C to 37.9°C, and red for 38.0°C and above. Sounds can be turned off completely in silent mode, and the color light still shows the result.
It also checks the temperature of a bottle of milk, bath water and room air. It stores 32 readings so past results can be reviewed. For babies over 3 months, the reading can be used; for newborns under 3 months, doctors still prefer a rectal reading.
