The Vicks Forehead Thermometer provides parents with a noninvasive way to take their child’s temperature. To obtain a reading, the parent scans the thermometer’s sensor from the child’s temple to the mid-forehead. It uses the heat from the temporal artery to assess the temperature more comfortably and quickly than other thermometers. The display provides color-coded results; a green background indicates a normal temperature, yellow means a mildly elevated temperature and a red background indicates there is a fever.
