Amazon.com Review:
With over 500 scanning sequences per second, the Lumiscope inner-ear thermometer provides a precise, mercury-free way to read core body temperature. Plus, the ergonomic design matches the ear's contours, so it's even comfortable for children. The unit boasts one-touch functionality, a reading speed of one second, and the choice of a Fahrenheit or Celsius scale. The display includes a memory feature that stores up to the last 10 readings. Along with the numerical reading, the display pops up visual and verbal icons if a temperature is unusually high or low. A beep signals when the reading is ready, and an auto-safety feature shuts off power after one minute. Lightweight and compact, the device comes with a long-life battery and its own storage case. Sanitizing is easy--just wipe the waterproof probe with rubbing alcohol and a soft cloth.--Emily Bedard

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Bueno
Buen equipo. Rapido para medir. Bastante preciso. Rudo (se me cayo un par de veces y no se hizo nada.).

Su estuche es resbaladizo cuidado al abrirlo rapido, el termometro puede resbalar (por eso se me cayo 2 veces).



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Low Battery
I don't know if it works or not - I just received it and all I get on it is a low battery reading.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Unpredictable
The Lumiscope ear thermometer worked fine the very first time - I think. But after using it about three times within three weeks, the longlasting battery is low on power. So, I am not even sure if it is working. And, I get conflicting temperatures, so I am not inclined to trust it yet. Maybe a new battery would help? I guess I should have read the other reviews before I purchased this pricey item.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Don't waste your time or money
I bought this item and had it shipped to a friend out of state. It NEVER worked. She replaced the batteries when it arrived, but that didn't help. It was a complete waste of time and money.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - It works
I recently bought 3 items from this brand - Lumiscope. Actually this is the only item that works among them. Though I am kind of suspicious about it's inconsistent readings from time to time.

I think Braun IRT452 is a much better product, which I bought one for my parents in China. During SARS epidemic it never failed and provided consistent readings.
