Thermometer: Measure fever quickly and accurately

A Reliable and Accurate Thermometer to Monitor the Health of the Whole Family

Fever is one of the first signals our body sends to indicate it is defending itself. Having a Precitech thermometer at home is therefore essential to monitor your health and that of your loved ones, from babies to adults. A reliable and quick temperature reading allows you to respond appropriately and contact a healthcare professional if necessary. Horizane Santé offers a complete range of thermometers combining technology, precision, and ease of use to meet all needs and situations.

Discover Our Different Types of Thermometers for Every Need

To ensure a suitable temperature reading for each family member, we have selected several technologies:

• Digital Thermometer: The classic, versatile, and very reliable option. With its flexible tip, it allows for rectal (the reference method for babies), oral, or underarm temperature readings. It provides a precise result in just a few seconds.
• Contactless Forehead Thermometer: Using infrared technology, the forehead thermometer is the most hygienic and convenient solution. It measures temperature a few centimeters from the forehead, without skin contact. Ideal for taking the temperature of a sleeping child or baby in just seconds without disturbing them.
• Ear Thermometer: Also based on infrared technology, the ear thermometer measures the heat emitted by the eardrum. This method is extremely fast and widely used in medical settings. Proper positioning in the ear canal is essential to ensure a precise reading.

With Horizane thermometers, you choose peace of mind by equipping yourself with a high-performance, essential health tool for everyday use.

FAQ: Your Questions About Thermometers

Q: What is the most recommended thermometer for a baby?

A: The reference method for a very precise measurement in infants and young children remains the rectal route using a digital thermometer with a flexible tip. However, for comfort and speed, the contactless forehead thermometer is an excellent, very reliable, and non-invasive alternative—perfect for frequent or nighttime use.

Q: How does a contactless thermometer work?

A: A contactless thermometer uses an infrared sensor to measure the thermal energy emitted by the body, specifically from the temporal artery on the forehead. It then converts this measurement into a body temperature displayed on the screen, all within one to two seconds.

Q: At what temperature is it considered a fever?

A: Generally, a person is considered to have a fever when their body temperature exceeds 38°C (100.4°F). However, this value may vary slightly depending on the measurement site (rectal, oral, forehead). In case of fever, especially in a baby or child, or if in doubt, it is always recommended to consult a doctor.

Q: How do I clean my thermometer to ensure hygiene?

A: For a digital thermometer, clean the tip with water and soap or a cotton pad soaked in 70% alcohol before and after each use. For an infrared thermometer (forehead or ear), gently clean the sensor with a cotton swab lightly moistened with alcohol to ensure consistently accurate readings.
