Title: Operator error or just not accurate?
Product review: I really like the ease of use of this item. My problem lies with the different results I get. I can take what I think are identical readings in one ear and get slightly different results. Then if I compare with readings from my other ear the numbers get even further apart. I just got an oral thermometer that tracks pretty well with an ear thermometer at our doctor's office. The Mabis ear thermometer will usually be 1-2 degrees different than either of those. I can't rely on it, which is unfortunate because I really love the backlit screen, memory settings, travel case it comes with, and how it beeps to indicate when you're running a fever.
