The Major Tech MT688 is a non-contact infrared thermometer designed to read body surface and forehead temperature on infants and adults from 1cm to 10cm away. Body mode covers 32°C to 42.5°C and surface mode covers 0°C to 60°C, both to a stated accuracy of ±0.2°C with 0.1°C resolution. Surface mode suits baby bottles, bath water, and room temperature checks, giving the MT688 a second job beyond the first-aid kit. Readings appear in under a second on a backlit LCD, with the last 32 measurements stored in memory.
Checking a temperature with a contact thermometer means waking a sleeping child or passing a shared probe between employees in a workplace first-aid room. A slow instrument compounds the difficulty, particularly with an unwell infant who refuses to hold still for a conventional under-arm reading. The MT688 completes its measurement from 1cm to 10cm away in under a second, without any contact against the skin. A settable alarm value identifies readings above the configured threshold immediately, removing subjective judgement from a rapid screen.
For an electrical contractor stocking site first-aid stations, the MT688 adds a hygienic screening tool that complies with IEC 60601-1 medical electrical safety and IEC 60601-1-2 EMC requirements. The same instrument doubles as a rapid surface reader, with digitally adjustable emissivity from 0.10 to 1.0 for evaluating a bottle, a bath, or an ambient room measurement. It operates on two AAA cells, and automatic power off after several seconds of inactivity conserves battery capacity between uses. At 130 grams and 131mm in length, the unit stores in a glovebox or first-aid pouch without a dedicated case.
The MT688 is a screening tool, and a reading is not a medical diagnosis; confirm any concerning result with a clinical thermometer and seek medical advice where needed. Body mode reads only between 32°C and 42.5°C, and surface mode is capped at 60°C, so hot plant, pipework, and cooking surfaces are outside its range. Operate it within the 1cm to 10cm measuring distance, as readings taken outside that window fall outside the stated accuracy.
(MT688)
The stated accuracy is ±0.2°C in both modes, with 0.1°C resolution. Body mode covers 32°C to 42.5°C and surface mode covers 0°C to 60°C, with readings returned in under a second at a measuring distance of 1cm to 10cm.
Yes. It reads forehead and body surface temperature from 1cm to 10cm away, so nothing contacts the person being checked. That makes it practical for sleeping infants and for screening several people without cleaning a probe between readings.
No. It is a screening thermometer designed to IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60601-1-2 medical electrical equipment requirements. A high or unusual reading should be confirmed with a clinical thermometer, and medical advice sought where there is any concern.
Surface mode reads 0°C to 60°C for baby bottles, bath water, and room or ambient temperature. Emissivity adjusts digitally from 0.10 to 1.0 to suit different surfaces. Hotter targets such as pipework or cooking surfaces sit outside its range.
You set an alarm value, and the unit signals when a reading exceeds it. The last 32 measurements store in memory for recall on the backlit LCD, which suits tracking a temperature over a day or logging a round of workplace checks.
It runs on two AAA batteries, which are included along with the instruction manual. Automatic data hold keeps the last reading on screen, and auto power off shuts the unit down after several seconds of inactivity to extend battery life.
