Contec Tp 500 Medical Infrared Thermometer
Description
Powered by 2 AAA batteries, this portable Contec Infrared Thermometer allows you to take temperature readings without making any contact with the subject of the measurement. Infrared thermometers use infrared light to gauge accurate temperature readings quickly, allowing the person to maintain a safe distance during the process. The Contec Infrared Thermometer compensates for ambient temperature and can be used for taking body temperature measurements as well as other use cases (such as during cooking).
