Is the Microlife ear thermometer as accurate as hospital devices?
The accuracy of Microlife ear thermometers has been proven in clinics. Microlife ear thermometers are at least as accurate as the more expensive hospital devices. The Microlife Ear Thermometer is manufactured to meet the same international standards as hospital devices. The difference to a hospital unit is the design. Hospital devices are more robust and thus less sensitive against falling down. They are delivered with solid wall brackets, comprehensive probe cover supply devices, etc. Some professional thermometers offer the feature to display the results alternatively compared to rectal or oral readings. We think that this very confusing and we prefer to display the real, reliable ear temperature. Up to our knowledge, there is no medical basis which allows to “transfer” the data to rectal or oral results.
