Chicco DigiBaby pediatric digital thermometer

The number that matters on a baby thermometer isn't the stated accuracy: it's the measurement time. A child with a fever stands still for a few seconds, and every movement that detaches the probe from the skin starts the count again. This model closes in 60 seconds, which is the difference between a successful measurement on the first attempt and three failed attempts.

Le three ways they are not interchangeable, and it's worth knowing before reading the issue. The rectal it is the closest to the true internal temperature and is the one used in the first months. Theoral it generally reads a few tenths less. Theaxillary it is the most comfortable and least invasive, and it is also the one that underestimates the most, because it measures the skin and not the inside. This is why the instructions show a different reference for each method: comparing an axillary measurement with a threshold designed for the rectal one leads you astray.

The acoustic signal It has two tasks: it tells when the reading is finished and it warns when the value exceeds 37.8 degrees. The water resistant probe it's not a catalog detail, because it's what allows you to really clean it between one use and another: before measuring, just wipe it with a cotton wool soaked in alcohol.

In the package there are the thermometer, the custody and the LR-41 battery already inserted. When not in use it should be stored away from children: it is not a toy.
