Little Doctor LD-303

Purely children's electronic thermometer Little Doctor LD-303 is made in a specific pacifier form factor, which simplifies the process of temperature measurement in the smallest.

The temperature sensor is built into the tip of the silicone pacifier. To determine the body temperature, he needs to contact the baby's mouth for 3-5 minutes, after which the thermometer will beep. The data is displayed on a small screen. In the course of comparison with traditional mercury thermometers, it was possible to find out that the measurement error does not exceed 0.1°C.

Compared to the family of contact thermometers, Little Doctor LD-303 has a slightly reduced measurement range — from 35.5°C to 42° WITH. Nevertheless, more than 99% of the possible results of body temperature measurements fit into it.

Children who are not accustomed to a pacifier may flatly refuse to hold the thermometer in their mouth on their own. Some problems also arise with children who are accustomed to the nipple, because. The thermometer weighs heavier than a regular pacifier and takes up most of the oral cavity. Anyway, it is often more convenient to fix a pacifier thermometer in the baby's mouth than to try to measure his body temperature in the axillary zone.

The thermometer is very easy to use and does not take up much space. It effectively determines the temperature in the range from 32°C to 42.9°C, while the measurement error does not exceed 0.1°C. But a small number of thermometer owners indicate in product reviews that the results may be inaccurate, which takes place in some instances.

The thermometer needs 1 minute to determine body temperature. time. The end of the measurement will be signaled by a 10x beep. The sound alert is also triggered if the temperature exceeds 37.8°C (in the form of a 10x triple beep).

a small display for displaying measurements and service information (such as too low or too high temperature, as well as low battery warnings). To conserve battery power, the display will automatically turn off after 8 minutes. inaction. The thermometer is powered by one GP-192/LR-41 battery.

Among the advantages of the thermometer, it is also necessary to record its water resistance and the presence of a large matte case for storing the device. But the key point is the vaunted German quality, thanks to which the thermometer will serve faithfully for a long period of time.

Good to know. When using the thermometer under the arm, it is recommended to hold the thermometer for at least 5 minutes regardless of the sound signal about the end of the measurement, as well as the measurement time claimed by the manufacturer, which is determined by the specifics of the procedure.
