It claims 0.2°C accuracy. Expectation from digitial stick thermometers is half of this, 0.1°C.
Here's a paper about noncontact meters in clinical setting. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/arti...C11046542/
tl;dr—0.2°C is too high of a swing to make clinical decisions. Noncontact meters are good for prescreening, but not making medical decisions.

While it is accurate in perfect conditions and for perfectly fine pts, most environments and patients aren't in perfect conditions.

There are a few variables that result in inaccurate readings:
1. Humidity/sweat from the environment/on the pt.
2. The degree at which the IR thermometer is used to point at the temporal artery (forehead area)
3. The environmental temperature of the room/area - cold environments will lead to colder readings, hot environment, hotter readings.
4. Other things that I forget but this is a slickdeals comment so I'm done.

So yeah, they're good for screening but not for clinical settings/decision making based off of these IR thermometers.

Also available in many trash bins and dumpsters worldwide...complete piece of garbage. Of the 38 units we purchased 2021 Zero work, and honestly never really did.

edit: of the 138 units the taxpayers of America purchased.

I don't need this for Covid, but a thermometer like this can come in handy, pending it's actually worth $120. I can test this out for $13.

Usually we need the non contact ones for 1) Infants/kids 2) someone with contagious disease. Both cases add up to non cooperating for readings and may miss the proper angle to read.
