How the Vicks Forehead Thermometer measures temperature
The Vicks Forehead Thermometer measures infrared energy emitted from the skin above the eyebrow area and the surrounding tissue. This energy is collected through the lens and converted to a temperature value. Temperature reading is obtained by scanning above the eyebrow area which provides the greatest accuracy.
The Vicks Forehead Thermometer has been clinically tested and proven to be safe and accurate when used in accordance with its operating instruction manual.

The screen displays green if there is no fever, yellow when the temperature is slightly elevated and red for possible high fever. 10 short beeps indicate temperature above 37.5°C, in order to alert the patient that they may have a fever.
