Hygienic, Contact-Free Temperature Checks The Beurer FT85 is a non-contact infrared thermometer designed to take accurate readings without ever touching the skin. Held 2-3 cm from the forehead, it's especially suited to babies and toddlers who won't sit still for a traditional thermometer, and it means one thermometer can be used across the whole family without worrying about hygiene between uses. Fast, Clear Readings Results appear in seconds on a large, illuminated digital display, so you're never squinting at a screen in a dimly lit bedroom at 3am. You can switch between °C and °F depending on preference. A built-in fever alarm flags any reading of 38°C or above, and a simple smiley system backs this up visually - a sad face for a fever, a happy face when temperature is normal - which makes it easy for parents to get a quick read at a glance, even without checking the exact number. More Than Just a Body Thermometer The FT85 isn't limited to checking foreheads. It can also measure room temperature and the surface temperature of objects, such as bathwater or a baby bottle, giving it everyday household use beyond illness monitoring. Practical Everyday Features An automatic switch-off function helps conserve battery life between uses, and a battery charge indicator lets you know when it's time for a change. The unit stores up to 60 previous readings in its built-in memory, useful for tracking a fever's progress over several hours or days. It's powered by two included 1.5V AAA batteries, so it's ready to use straight out of the box. Compact and Certified Weighing around 67g and measuring roughly 16.1 x 4.28 x 3.6 cm, it's light and easy to store in a bathroom cabinet or medicine bag. As a certified medical device, it's built to a recognised standard of accuracy and reliability for home health monitoring.
