Clinical Trial[Is measurement of body temperature by infrared tympanic thermometry reproducible?].
To assess the reliability of body temperature estimated by infrared tympanic thermometry. ⋯ These values give an estimation of the technique's accuracy. In our point of view, such a reproducibility is adequate for daily clinical practice. The accuracy of infrared tympanic thermometry with the First Temp Genius seems reasonable for the clinical practice when the temperature is over 37 degrees C.
