″ Compared with oral temperature, Chue et al reported a mean difference ranging from 0.05°C (95% CI 0.01 to 0.08) to 0.12°C (95% CI 0.07 to 0.17) ”
from the conclusions, they report a high false positive rate, making it inappropriate for some purposes. However, for this purpose, false positives are preferred to false negatives.
I brought the oral thermometer along with the forehead thermometer to be able to check people who test positive with the forehead thermometer with the oral one.
