- How accurate is an ear thermometer like this?
- Ear thermometers are accurate when the probe points at the eardrum. Pull the ear back and aim straight in. Readings taken at an angle or in a cold ear run low.
- Does it work without the app?
- It measures and shows readings on its own. The app adds the history and trends, so you need it only if you want the log.
- Can I use it on adults as well as children?
- Yes. Ear thermometers work for all ages, though the ear canal shape differs, so adults should pull the ear up and back.
- What phones does the Bluetooth app support?
- It uses Bluetooth 4.0, which current iOS and Android phones support. Check the Zewa app listing for the minimum OS version before buying.
- Is it better than a forehead thermometer?
- Ear readings are less affected by room temperature and sweat. Forehead scanners are easier on a sleeping child but more sensitive to technique.
- Where is the Zewa Infrared Thermometer Bluetooth 4.0 cheapest?
- At Walmart, for $37.95, as of our latest check.
