Tips for Using the B-D Flexible™ Digital: Your B-D Flexible™ Digital Thermometer is a durable and precise medical device.  Here are some helpful hints to help you get the best performance from the product.

1. In oral use, as with all thermometers, Keep Thermometer in place without shifting it in the mouth while taking temperature.
2. Stay With Your Child During Temperature Taking to help assure proper use of the thermometer.
3. Avoid Bending The Probe More Than 45° to prevent possible damage. 

How the B-D Accu-Beep™ Digital helps you.  The Accu-Beep feature can reduce a parent's anxiety during temperature taking.  It can eliminate concern about correct thermometer placement and about the measurement going along properly.  The Accu-Beep feature can also improve a child's willingness and ability to use the oral method.  Children and parents who tested the Accu-Beep Digital discovered that some children who would not normally  sit still for an oral reading would comply much more readily when using the Accu-Beep Digital.  They accomplished this when their parent encouraged them to "hold the thermometer still, and make it keep beeping."  The children found that listening for the beeps made the temperature taking experience "fun".

1.0 out of 5 stars Not worth the few dollars I spent on it, September 20, 2004

This thermometer has never been accurate and consistently shows temperatures under the normal 98.6 degrees. I dont trust it especially after having a really bad fever where I was sweating bullets and it showed I was at 98.2 degrees. I dug out my old glass one and it recorded me at 101.7...big discrepancy there. I would only recommend spending more money and getting a one second ear one instead.

After having tried numerous other digital thermometers and none of them being accurate, I did some research online. Consumer Reports named this thermometer as the best digital and most accurate. So, I took a chance and ordered one. Guess what...it really is accurate! I still have an old mercury thermometer so I've used it several different times for comparison since mercury is the gold standard and it's always spot on.

I don't think that the beeping it does every few seconds to let you know that the thermometer is in the right spot is all that loud or annoying as some others have mentioned. Maybe I'm hard of hearing, tho, who knows? lol

Some have mentioned that the thermometer is not accurate and it makes me wonder if their battery may be dead or close to dead and needs replacing. Since I purchased the first thermometer, I got a second one for another family member and it's just as accurate.

I like that it's soft and flexible...not uncomfortable at all. Very easy to use, too. It does light up so you can read it in the dark. Oddly, tho, when you are done taking your temp and remove the thermometer from your mouth the light does not come on. You have to actually shut the thermometer off and it will then light up for several seconds for you to read your temp. It does, however, light up as soon as you turn it on so if you happen to miss what your temp read, it will show back up when you turn it back on.

Comes with a nice little case to store it in. I'd highly recommend this thermometer as I've found it to be extremely accurate with every use and I've tested it numerous times. Not a bad price, either!

This is a quick, easy, and safe way to check temps especially on children. You don't have to worry about glass breaking and you can feel confident that the reading will be accurate.
