Manufacturer's Description

Braun Thermoscan is number one amongst doctors and mothers. It is used by more doctors' offices and mothers than any other infrared thermometer brand.

The ear is regarded as the most reliable place to get a consistent reading of the humans core body temperature. You should measure your child’s temperature regularly to understand their normal reading, so you can recognise signs of fever early.

How do Braun Ear Thermometers Work?

Eardrum emits infrared radiation. Infrared radiation passes through the lens filter. Depending on the specifications(material, thickness, production process etc.) the lens filter lets pass a reduced amount of infrared radiation. The sensor of the device receives a reduced amount of infrared radiation. With a complex algorithm specially adjusted on the specifications of Braun lens filters the ThermoScan ear thermometer converts the infrared radiation into a temperature being shown on the display.

An infrared ear thermometer and the lens filter always work as a system. To get an accurate reading it is mandatory to align specifications of device and lens filter.

Advantages of a Pre-Warmed Tip:

	With the pre-warmed tip: Unlike other ear thermometers, Braun ThermoScan ExacTemp features a pre-warmed tip. It minimizes the cooling effect that could result from the insertion of a cool probe tip. The pre-warmed tip helps ensure accuracy time after time.
	Without the pre-warmed tip: A conventional tip at room temperature has a cooling effect on the ear canal. This cool-down effect can result in an inaccurate temperature reading shown on the display. A cooler temperature in the ear canal could also affect the accuracy of repeated measurements.
	Each year, millions of temperatures are taken in doctors' offices and hospitals with Braun ThermoScan professional ear thermometers. 30 clinical studies with over 4600 patients verify the accuracy and safety of Braun ThermoScan ear thermometers

What does the Guidance System Do?

	Checks position of the thermometer in the ear and confirms the accuracy of the measurement. Beep and light helps to eliminate handling errors. The probe of the thermometer has to fit securely into the ear canal during the complete measuring process before a long beep signals the end of the temperature reading.
	A light provides additional accuracy. It flashes during the measuring process as long as the probe is securely positioned and lights up continuously once an accurate reading has been taken. If the probe has not been placed correctly in the ear canal, it will be indicated by the Guidance System.

Customer Reviews

Inaccurate
I purchased this for use with our baby daughter, who is currently in hospital. It consistently reads low. It tells me that she is below the ranges given in the instructions for her age and the reading location, giving me no confidence it it. It reads 35deg when the hospital thermometers I used to check it tell me she is 37. Two degrees difference is a huge amount on a £40 device and makes me not trust it at all. I plan to return mine.

Excellent product, easy to use
I have found this very easy to use and it is minimally invasive (making it excellent for the younger members of the family). Good for adults too as it is very quick and easy to do on yourself. I have found that the plastic protectors can be wiped with a disinfectant wipe and re-used.

Brilliant product
This ear thermometer is worth its weight in gold. It is very accurate, extremely quick and the grandson hardly knows you have used it. What a joy to have compared with other temperature taking products. Interestingly we went to his doctors with him and low and behold guess what she was using! We can not praise this product highly enough - it should be available to every parent and grandparent as a standard 'must have'
