This is embarrassing. Apparently, the "teaching nurse" is unaware of how to properly read instructions since most of these units require that the thermometer be held 2-3 inches from the subject's forehead. At 1:58 and 2:21 she is clearly holding the thermometer MORE than 2-3 inches away, hence the lower readings. This is user error and not the thermometer's fault. I would be leery to have this individual as my nurse. Furthermore, I question the competence of the reporter and producer of this story for not being able to catch these obvious mistakes. Incompetence all the way around...then again, it's local news, why am I surprised.
Exactly what I noticed.
The both of them are trying to sell the one she held the closest. 👎🏼
The UA-cam vid "How to use a Non Contact Infrared Thermometer" says the GP-300 with the mauve colour which looks the same as your number 4 & 5 but for the colours must be activated by pushing the test button for 5 seconds, then taking the measurement with a short push I think. Maybe that step could make a difference, too. Would it adjust the device to the surrounding temperature?
Exactly what I came here to say. She was intentionally holding the two Chinese ones 8-10" away. These thermometers usually have a distance-to-spot ratio of about 1:1. Which means if you hold it 8" away, it will be measuring an 8" diameter circle size in front of it. So obviously it will read lower. The nurse is a fraud.
This nurse apparently has no clue. You can't hold the thermometer a foot away when you're taking a temperature. Some infrared thermometers require you to be an inch away.
She's probably an intern at the news station 😂
Do you get a swat team tackle when you’re running a fever lol
5319!!!
Wait a minute. Did of the “Professionals” bother to start with a CALIBRATION setup of these devices before they started taking these readings? If they did not calibrate these first, of course the comparison readings will be all over the place. This test is therefore - totally bogus. READ THE INSTRUCTIONS.
M y Dr. Told me my temp was 94 last time I was there I laughed and said yeah ok...lol.
Why in Fahrenheit? In this modern world, still Fahrenheit?
Because this is “merica.”
I don't even understand fahrenheit anymore !!
Because it's more accurate and wider difference. Just like mm.
I totally agree The nurse is holding it away from the guys head at least 6 inches it’s not gonna give a proper reading it needs to be one to 2 inches from the forehead for a proper reading seriously she’s a nurse please tell me if I’m dying she’s not gonna be the one helping me
Good Work!
Question Authority!!
Spoiler alert, non contact thermometers don't work. We all got scammed.
She is farther away, she should of did the readings with a ruler to show true accuracy
Makes you wonder if she got through university based on skin color and not merit.
You still have CV with no symptoms. I have medical issue that cause my body to get fever. I feel medically discriminated. Public places are not doctors.
She didn’t hold them at the same distance from his forehead.
So true so get one for home n your job as well as a camera in your car.. Nothing is 💯 but it's best to be safe than sorry. Just thought I throw that in there ✌️
Accuracy is not the issue you can have a slight fever for a short time randomly during the day with covid 19 it comes and goes all day and places like Disney World even let you wait a while and try again when your fever goes down!!! thats crazy it only means anything when you have a high fever at the very moment your tested
Well I have one of those. If you read instruction there clearly said you have to do reading 3 times before it will be accurate ...
and also initially set up to calibrate with oral Thermometer
My YHKY- 2000 says one inch from the forehead. 98.2 after three tries. 👍🏼
I had the 4th model, futeng, and it consistently reads low of 94-95. China dumping a bunch of useless electronics on us again.
How much investment do NBC big wigs have in these specific products? Disclose for transparency. If it’s not zero than this is manipulative marketing.
Do your part doctors no politics. You're not revealing the other three brands which I am sure they made in China too. Another word, nothing is 100 percent accuracy simple as that.
Its all a scam
Revelations 13:16-18
Amen. For this people's heart has grown dull, and with their ears they can barely hear, and their eyes they have closed; lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears and understand with their heart and turn. Acts 28:27
what
Anyone who has a brain knows your suppose to hold it 2-3 inches away… not 1 foot hence why it isn’t working properly
Lol the asian dude taking temperatures is not wearing a face mask!
i fail these test all the time. If its hot outside like 90+ degrees and your head is out in the sun for a long time like if you walking or in my case i drive my convertible with my forehead being exposed to the sun, then i park my car and go in a store my forehead will always read over 100 degrees and i will be not be able to go inside the business. I will have to stand in the shade for 10-15 minutes in the shade and i will pass the retest.
You’re lying

105? lol seems pointless .. people with 104 temp's are welcome to enter, cool. .
100.5 not 105
104 or 105 you need to go to the hospital.
