Incorrect info; famidoc noncontact forehead thermometer purchased on (b)(6).Consistently displayed readings from 97° to 97.9° during both sickness and health even when i knew i was running a fever and that my normal temperature was 98.6°.I checked the readings at two doctors' offices, and they were also in the 97.0° to 97.9° range so i thought perhaps my temperature had changed over the years.Then i became really suspicious when i had a bad infection, knew i was running a fever, but received the same readings.Purchased vicks oral digital thermometer.Bingo! immediately had readings that make sense, and my normal is 98.6°.Not only was the famidoc totally inaccurate, but so were the unknown brands used at the doctors' offices.Famidoc is made in (b)(6).The market is flooded with (b)(6) made thermometers that i am betting are inaccurate, and they are being used in doctors' offices and in many other applications.Fda safety report id# (b)(4).
