The VeraTemp non-contact thermometers are American Scientific Resources' innovative, highly accurate thermometry technology.  These infrared non-contact thermometers can easily measure temperature of all patients without touching the patients' skin which is especially useful when working with babies, children, and elderly patients.  Because the VeraTemp non-contact thermometers do not require the use of wasteful and expensive probe covers, the non-contact thermometer is totally hygienic and poses no risk for cross contamination The VeraTemp+™ professional version of the thermometer is ideally suited for use in clinics, hospitals, emergency medical services, long-term care facilities, schools and other public settings. The consumer Kidz-Med VeraTemp™ product line is available at Amazon.com, Bartell Drugs, CVS Pharmacies, Target.com, Costco.com, Samsclub.com, Diapers.com, DuaneReade, Fred Meyer, Price Chopper, Pamida, Walmart.com, Giant, RiteAid.com and Drugstore.com.
