Overview
The First Years Y7078A is a digital thermometer with an LCD style display, battery powered, in white, weighing about 0.1 lb. Despite the Vitamins and Supplements category label attached to this listing, it is a thermometer, not a supplement.
The First Years is best known for infant and toddler care products, so this thermometer is likely intended for checking a child's or family member's temperature at home rather than for lab or industrial use. Its light weight and battery power point to a handheld design for everyday use.

Who it's for

Drawn from this product's published specifications.

Performance notes
Digital thermometers read body temperature electronically and display the result on screen, generally faster than mercury or dial designs. The specs available do not state response time or measurement site, so confirm those details before relying on it for a specific reading method.
