would this be effective for gauging the temperature in a Epi-Pen Allermate carrying case? I'm in need of a device to help keep son's med. temp safe.

I don't really know. It's pretty big. Also, obviously it won't give you a log of temp vs. time, if that's what you need.

yes, not so sure about the accuracy as compared with thermometers used in taking fever readings. Just be careful with the infrared light/dot, what i know is the light could be harmful to eyes.

I bought mine for low temperature use. but i found that it would not hold my desired temperature, be the temperature that it displayed (i have a laser heat gun), or stay powered on the entire time i had set. Overall it wasn't a very precise device, i personally recommend looking into any other devices in your price range if there are any, as i would not buy this again for my purposes.

You will most likely need an upgrade on the probe wire which will is specially designed for that kind of temperature. The device itself will do just fine.

I think so. This device feels well put together and my 10 year old measures food temps in the fridge and freezer well. Also good for measuring oven temps. Not sure what other uses you have in mind.

If only are only intending to measure the superficial temperature, (not the inner temperature of the product) then the answer is "YES". I often use this device to check the temperature of the marmalade process to see if the packaging temperature is adequate.

The probes furnished with the thermometer would not stand up to 392F. I would go with the temperatures listed by Taylor. The instructions on setting the high and low settings and alarm times leave something to be desired. Once you figure out how to set it, the thermometer works very well. I use them on HVAC equipment and recirculating hot water heating systems to measure supply and return temperatures. By checking the temperatures several times a day, I make sure the equipment is operating correctly.

I don't know about all day on a plane, but this is what we use to take my son's epi-pen to the beach in the summer where the heat is easily in the 80s and it has stayed at an acceptable temperature within the case. We've had the case for almost a year and it is primarily the case for my son to keep an epi in his backpack, but once school lets out we use it for all our summer adventures.

It is consistent +/- 0.3 degrees.... There are variables of the user technique and subject. For example, I've had patients take off a hat and it reads at least a degree or two higher than it will only 30 seconds later. Also, distance from skin is a factor. You must consider too that body temperature, while remaining within a narrow homeostatic range, does vary itself from moment to moment. What I will say is that this meter INVARIABLY detects elevated temperatures and fever.

it will give you a reading, but it wont be accurate for that. It will just be measuring skin temperature, not body temperature.

Hi Victoria,I suppose the Weatherhawk MyBlue-T Monitor could be used to monitor body temperature. I never tried. You would have to to put it inside a body cavity. I think most women could do it easily. It is not so quick to respond to a new environment. I carry it in my bag and it takes about 20 minutes to read the actual room temperature. You have to be curious to see what it can do. I was disappointed that it does not give an instant stable reading when I change rooms. But pressed against the flesh it probably responds more quickly.I hope this answer is helpful,David

The answer is NO. This is to be used to observe or read temperature in short term where the dial (working parts) are NOT exposed to DIRECT HEAT as in the internal temp of chicken, candy or other like cases as in checking the internal temp of grilled beef, pork etc.

Yes, it may be used on any surface but I wouldn't use it for medical reasons. It's not as accurate as a thermometer used to check for a fever on babies. I wouldn't trust it for that use.

The probe that comes with it is bent at 90. The needle probe is shorter and more narrow and I wouldn't bend it. It's really for taking a quick temp.

This will work fine, because it uses infrared to measure temperature. I tried it on a few grills and it gives you accurate temperatures.

While I do use this probe to monitor water temp, I don't fully immerse it, as the wire behind the metal portion of the probe is covered in plastic & I don't want it to melt. If I use it to monitor other food temperatures, just wipe off the metal part of the probe & don't let the plastic touch anything hot, like pots, pans, etc. Shorter answer: I don't know & haven't tried to find out.

I don't think it should be used for that. First it is a laser light, and you should avoid shining it on skin or inside a body -- in the eyes it may blind you, and on the skin for a prolonged period may burn it. Second, to take a person's temperature you should take the internal temp, not the external because the skin temp varies too much to tell you if a person has a fever or not anyway.
