How does the Vicks No Touch work?
The No Touch Thermometer measures infrared energy radiated from the skin at the
center of the forehead area. This captured energy is collected through the lens and
converted to a body temperature value.
The No Touch Thermometer has been clinically tested and proven to be safe and
accurate when used in accordance with its operating instruction manual.
