Hope this helps.

Question:	What disposable probe covers fit this thermometer
Answer:	I don't use probe covers, as I NEVER have used this rectally. I just wipe it down with alcohol after each use.
Question:	I just tried my thermometer while it seems to work, it nevered beeped even after 1 minute. What am I doing incorrectly
Answer:	There is nothing special to do...you turn it on, you stick it in your mouth (under your tongue) and when you hear the beep you take it out. If you have turned it on, can see a readout, put it in your mouth under your tongue and it never beeps I would think you have a defective thermometer as mine beeps just fine.
Question:	Does this work well for a newborn
Answer:	I bought this product because it was my friend's pregnant daughter's baby gift list. He husband is a doctor so I assume they knew about this type of product before putting it on their gift list.

Question:	Are there any videos on how to swipe for temporal reading? It is quite away off from oral thermometer reading
Answer:	Mine does beep when you take the temp and when it is done. Overall, this updated model is not as good as my older Braun.
Question:	How do you switch to forehead mode? The forehead cover is on but it shows that it is in ear mode. Defective perhaps
Answer:	Do not feel about about the 37..Amazon sent me a 15$ oral thermometer , piece of plastic garbage, and no way to switch to fahrenheit. If people cannot be polite, stay to your self..do not let the rude comments of those that think they are brilliant ..must be a friend of Fauci...

The free Kinsa app will give you guidance.

Kinsa guides you from the first sign of sickness through recovery and beyond.

Easily remember when symptoms began, how high the fever got, and be reminded when it's time for more medication. Share the illness record with another caregiver or your doctor.

Important Tips for All Temperature Readings

• Always wait for three flashing lines on the display before every reading. Wait at least 15 minutes to take a reading after eating, drinking, exercising or bathing.
• If you or your Kinsa were outside on a cold day, wait until you are used to the new temperature before taking a reading.
• A person’s body temperature will fluctuate depending on the time of the day. The best method to determine your own normal temperature is to record it twice a day (early morning and late afternoon) when feeling well. The average of the two is considered your normal body temperature.

Underarm Readings

Wipe armpit with a dry towel and make sure that no clothes are in the way. Place the thermometer probe in the armpit and keep your arm pressed firmly against the body. In general, a normal underarm temperature is considered 35.8°C - 37.2°C (96.5°F - 98.9°F). Also, please note that underarm readings are typically 0.6°C (1°F) lower than oral readings; this is perfectly normal. The Kinsa app automatically takes underarm readings into account when calculating the severity of the fever, but it does not artificially add that 0.6°C (1°F) to the temperature reading.

Oral Readings

For oral readings, always place the probe tip of the thermometer in your mouth’s heat pocket - under the tongue at the back of the mouth. Keep your mouth closed while the temperature reading is being taken. The temperature in one spot of the mouth can be very different from another so always put the probe tip in the same heat pocket for every reading. A normal oral temperature is considered 36.1°C - 37.7°C (97.0°F - 99.9°F).

Rectal Readings

Consider applying a bit of petroleum jelly on the QuickCare tip to make it easier to insert. Place your baby on a firm surface, either on her stomach or back, with legs lifted up to the chest (think diaper-changing position). Insert the probe tip about ½ inch inside the rectum. Never insert the probe past the metal tip. Stop if you meet any resistance. Hold QuickCare between two fingers while keeping your hand cupped around your baby's bottom (you might need to squeeze the cheeks together to hold it in place). Remember, rectal temperatures tend to be about 0.3°C (0.5°F) higher than oral and 0.6°C (1°F) higher than underarm readings. In general, a normal rectal temperature is considered 36.4°C - 37.9°C (97.5°F - 100.3°F). If you'd like to verify your results, be sure to wait 5 minutes first for the most accurate second reading.

Did You Know?

Kinsa is on a mission to stop illness from spreading and that mission is more vital today than it has ever been before.

Kinsa took the most common health device in the world, the thermometer, and reimagined it by connecting it to the smartphone to create the earliest and most accurate illness tracking system.

To understand where illness is spreading in real-time, Kinsa aggregates anonymous temperatures and symptoms via Kinsa smart thermometers. Kinsa then give this information back to you, Kinsa users, through the Kinsa app and the Kinsa HealthWeather Map, empowering you with the knowledge you need to keep you and your loved ones informed about what's going around.
