Traditional thermometers can be placed in the armpit, mouth, behind the ear, and rectum. However, for infrared thermometers, the best place to measure temperature for accurate results is the wrist as they are less exposed to the external environment.

Do Infrared thermometers need to be calibrated?

An infrared thermometer must be validated against a laboratory calibrated 'master' thermometer on a known temperature source. The best way to control the emissivity and temperature of a surface, ensuring that you get the true reading of an infrared thermometer, is by using a solid black body.

Are non-contact thermometers accurate?

The sensitivity and specificity for the non-contact thermometer is 97%. The negative predictive value is 99%, which is especially important to rule out fever and avoid unnecessary laboratory work-up.

How do you calibrate a Fluke IR thermometer?
