Rating of the top 10 non-contact thermometers

1. Sensitec NF-3101

The non-con­tact infrared ther­mome­ter Sen­sitec NF 3101, which doc­tors con­sid­er one of the best, opens our rat­ing. It is used to mea­sure the tem­per­a­ture in adults and chil­dren in the fore­head area. Thanks to such a device, it will be pos­si­ble to find out the tem­per­a­ture of even the most active kids, because you can use the device even while play­ing or bathing in the bath (with­out immer­sion) and sleep­ing. Many par­ents also use a ther­mome­ter to mea­sure the tem­per­a­ture of baby food, to find out how many degrees the room is.

The result is dis­played instant­ly on the screen. The mea­sure­ment speed is only half a sec­ond. This indi­ca­tor is very impor­tant for mea­sur­ing tem­per­a­ture in chil­dren. The mea­sure­ment range is also cor­rect — it is nec­es­sary that the pyrom­e­ter cov­ers the pos­si­ble indi­ca­tors of the tem­per­a­ture of the human body, from 32 to 42.5 degrees. Here just from 32 to 42.5.

2. Berrcom JXB-178

In sec­ond place in our rank­ing was the BERRCOM JXB-178 infrared ther­mome­ter. This is a med­ical device that has a reg­is­tra­tion cer­tifi­cate from Rosz­drav­nad­zor. As our expert points out MD, ENT doc­tor Kon­stan­tin Dobretsovwhen choos­ing ther­mome­ters, you must def­i­nite­ly pay atten­tion to this.

You need to mea­sure the tem­per­a­ture with this ther­mome­ter at a dis­tance of 3–5 cm, the read­ings will instant­ly appear on the screen. The device has a built-in mem­o­ry that can store up to 32 mea­sure­ments.

There are three modes — “Body”, to mea­sure the tem­per­a­ture of a per­son, “Sur­face” — sur­faces and “Room” to deter­mine the air tem­per­a­ture in the room.

The pres­ence of three col­or sig­nal modes is very con­ve­nient: green — the tem­per­a­ture is with­in the nor­mal range, orange — too high, red — dan­ger­ous­ly high tem­per­a­ture.

3. Hoco KY-111

The Hoco KY-111 non-con­tact ther­mome­ter is ide­al for office, hos­pi­tal and home use. The device has a col­or back­light dis­play that changes depend­ing on the tem­per­a­ture.

How to choose a non-contact thermometer

The choice of a non-con­tact ther­mome­ter must be approached respon­si­bly. Our expert — MD, ENT sur­geon of the high­est cat­e­go­ry Kon­stan­tin Dobretsov will tell you what you need to pay atten­tion to when buy­ing.

— A non-con­tact ther­mome­ter (pyrom­e­ter) is a med­ical prod­uct, so it must have a reg­is­tra­tion cer­tifi­cate (cer­tifi­cate) and instruc­tions in Russ­ian. Do not trust your health to non-cer­ti­fied devices, even if they are cheap. It is also worth pay­ing atten­tion to the main char­ac­ter­is­tics of the pyrom­e­ter:

1. Mea­sure­ment range. It is nec­es­sary that the pyrom­e­ter cov­ers the pos­si­ble indi­ca­tors of the tem­per­a­ture of the human body, from 30 to 45 degrees.
2. Mea­sure­ment error. It is very impor­tant that the mea­sure­ment error is not more than 0.2 degrees, oth­er­wise the indi­ca­tors will be unre­li­able.
3. Mea­sure­ment speed. This indi­ca­tor is very impor­tant for mea­sur­ing body tem­per­a­ture in chil­dren and should not exceed a few sec­onds.
4. Mea­sure­ment mem­o­ry. It is very con­ve­nient when the ther­mome­ter remem­bers past data, which makes it pos­si­ble to mon­i­tor changes in body tem­per­a­ture for sev­er­al days.
5. Dis­play illu­mi­na­tion. This option allows you to take ther­mom­e­try at night with­out turn­ing on the light, which is very con­ve­nient when mea­sur­ing tem­per­a­ture in chil­dren, the expert says.
