Editor's Notes
February 11, 2019:
While pediatricians consider rectal temperatures to be the most accurate, even their offices often use devices that are more comfortable and convenient. We evaluated choices that struck a balance between accuracy and comfort for both the parent and child. The iProven DMT was rated first because it has a proven track record for accuracy and can be used multiple ways.
