Description:
This non-contact infrared forehead thermometer from Berrcom offers quick temperature checks for adults and children, with additional modes for measuring milk, food and room temperatures, making it practical for families and childcare settings. It gives an instant reading and uses a colour backlit LCD and audible fever alarm to help identify elevated temperatures at a glance.
Key Points
The thermometer is designed for contactless use, which reduces cross-contamination and keeps checks hygienic. Readings are supplied in about one second using infrared sensing, according to the manufacturer, and results can be displayed in either °C or °F for convenience. The large LCD with backlight makes night-time measurements easier, and a 32‑reading memory stores recent values for tracking trends over time. There is also an automatic power-off after around 30 seconds to preserve battery life.

Benefits
Using infrared technology enables rapid, non-invasive temperature measurement that is less disruptive for sleeping children. The colour-coded backlight gives an immediate visual cue; green for normal, orange for low-grade fever and red plus an audible alert when temperature exceeds 38°C, according to the manufacturer. The ability to switch between temperature units and to record past measurements simplifies monitoring over several hours or days.
Usage Recommendations
Point the sensor at the centre of the forehead, keeping the device a short distance away as described by the manufacturer, and press the scan button for an instant reading. Clean the forehead of sweat or oils before taking a measurement to help maintain accuracy. For milk or food temperature checks use the dedicated non-contact mode and allow the sensor to stabilise briefly before recording the result.
Notes on performance and limitations are useful to consider. While infrared thermometers are fast and convenient, ambient temperature and distance can influence readings, so follow the instructions closely for consistent results. The device is practical for quick checks and monitoring trends, but for clinical evaluation rely on professional medical guidance when necessary.
