Q: Are you supposed to add one degree for an accurate reading??
submitted by HCG - 1 year ago
A: Hello, and thank you for reaching out. When using a forehead measurement, it is expected to be lower, anywhere from 0.5°F to 1°F lower, as it is an external reading. Furthermore, forehead temperature reduces with age, the older an individual, the lower the forehead temperature is expected to be. Therefore if it is recommended to use these devices as a strong indicator of current temperature, learn your own normal reading so you can identify if a result is outside of your normal temperature.

Q: Is this only able to take readings from ear/forehead? An answer from MOBI says so but the highlights state otherwise.
submitted by Michelle - 2 years ago
A:Â Hello Michelle. Thank you for taking the time to reach out! The thermometer has three different reading features. The third feature that the thermometer can read is food and object temperatures. To read these temperatures, press down on the HEAD and EAR buttons together. Hold the thermometer 1-2 inches away from food or object. Then press and release the EAR button to scan. Please feel free to reach out to us via our online support desk if you have further questions.

Doesn't work very inaccurate
1 reply from MOBI Team team - 5 days ago
Hello, Thank you for reaching out. We apologize that the DualScan Prime Thermometer is not operating as designed. When the Prime Thermometer is reading inaccurately, we recommend recalibrating the device which resets it. To do so, remove the batteries from the device and store the device in a room-temperature environment for at least an hour. Ensure that it is out of direct sunlight or any A/C vents. Replace the batteries back into the device, the device should auto-reset and be ready for the intended use. Also, we recommend for best accuracy that the device is in place (forehead or ear) before triggering the button for measurement. For forehead readings ensure that the device is gently touching the forehead just between the eyebrows. For Ear readings ensure that the ear probe is gently in the ear canal. If this does not resolve the inaccuracy issue feel free to submit a ticket to our 24-hour Support Desk at https://mobiusa.com/pages/contact-us.

JHoss - 10 days ago, Verified purchaser
This is the most inaccurate thermometer, it should be pulled off the shelf. My son had an obvious fever, hot to the touch and this thermometer tried saying my son had a temp of 98 F, multiple times. Luckily we had an extra mouth thermometer and it read 102.8 F. A huge difference. This product should be pulled, it’s highly inaccurate and can be a health concern.

I was reading some reviews and people were saying the thermometer was showing LO and that it was terrible for batteries. LO means low temp not low battery..I’ve used this for almost 2 years and I’ve never replaced the batteries. I think it’s a nice thermometer and pretty easy to use. It does give some different readings if you do it multiple times but it’s about 0.5 degree difference. I typically do it 3 times just to be safe and just take the average. Also make sure to clean the lens so you can get more accurate readings!

Hello and thank you for reaching out. We apologize that the DualScan Prime Ear and Forehead Thermometer was not operating as designed.

Additionally, if there is a wax buildup in the ear, that will affect the accuracy of the reading. We would be happy to switch your unit to one of our other models. Also, When the device is reading inaccurately we recommend recalibrating the device by taking the batteries out of the device, storing the device in a room-temperature environment for at least an hour, then replacing the batteries back into the device.
