Ear thermometer.

More accurate than rectal¹ or temple²
¹ Measurements in detecting temperature changes.
² Nimah M et al. Pediatr Crit Care Med Suppl, 2003.

With Pre-warmed tip
Unlike other ear thermometers, Braun ThermoScan ExacTemp features a pre-warmed tip that minimizes the cooling effect that could result from the introduction of a cool probe tip. The pre-warmed tip helps ensure accuracy measurement after measurement.

Without Pre-warmed tip
A conventional tip at room temperature has a cooling effect on the ear canal. This cool-down effect might result in an inaccurate temperature reading being shown on the display. A cooler temperature in the ear canal could also affect the accuracy of repeated measurements.

Why measuring in the ear?
The ear is an excellent site to measure temperature. Braun ThermoScan measures the infrared heat generated by the eardrum and the surrounding tissues. The eardrum shares blood supply with the temperature control center in the brain. Therefore temperature changes are reflected more quickly and accurately than at other sites.

No. 1 among doctors and mothers
Used by more doctor's offices and mothers than any other infrared thermometer brand worldwide.
Braun ThermoScan ear-thermometer,
Protective case with lens filter storage.
21 disposable lens filters included. A new, clean lens filter helps ensure accurate readings.
2 alkaline batteries (2x 1.5V (AA, LR6)), installed for immediate use.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best on the market, 1 Aug 2007
This review is from: Braun ThermoScan 5 IRT4520 Ear Thermometer (Personal Care)
I'm a GP and have tried many different thermometers - I don't have any shares with these guys but it is the best I came across so far. Easy to use and always exact. The problem with most thermometers is that over time they need re-calibration but this one goes for years and still gives the correct temperature. In my job you need one you can trust and this one delivers - most of my colleagues are also using it now.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent product- a must buy for every parent, 24 Sep 2005
By A Customer
This review is from: Braun ThermoScan 5 IRT4520 Ear Thermometer (Personal Care)
I am a doctor and this is the best electronic item i bought for my child ever. I bought it before he was born and he is now 3 years old and it is still in perfect working condition. Whenever he cries and all the normal things( like a nappy change, feeds etc) have been sorted out we check his temperature and invariably he is running a temperature without us realising it. Everyone who has a small child will know how cranky children become when they are sick. They will not let you use a thermomter ( even the paper one we have in the NHS).

This braun one takes a second and now my son uses it himself in his ear and gives it to me to read!!! I strongly recommend this to evry parent and also for adult use.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential kit for anyone with small children, 28 Nov 2005
By 
James Bury (Gloucestershire, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Braun ThermoScan 5 IRT4520 Ear Thermometer (Personal Care)
I've been using a Braun thermoscan for four years since our first child arrived. I regard it as absolutely essential for the safe caring of children. With one of these, you can take a child's temperature accurately and in a couple of seconds, even if they are asleep.

Children can develop extremely high temeperatures very quickly. With one of these, you can accurately monitor the progression of the illness and check that the Calpol / Neurophen is doing its stuff. If the temperature doesn't respond to the medicine, that's a sign to monitor things more closely and get help if the temperature goes too high.

There's a bit of technique required to get consistent readings, but follow the instructions and you'll do fine. Basically you turn it on, place it in the ear, pull back the ear lobe and press the button til it beeps. It's usually worth measuring both ears - any significant difference between the two can mean an ear-infection on one side, or your technique needs checking! The battery seems to last forever so no worries there.

Contrary to Braun's advice, I've found you can re-use the disposable caps quite a few times (it could get very pricey if you didn't). A quick rub with a baby wipe gets them clean, though if you start to get inconsistent readings then try changing the cap.

We have 3 small children and there's no way I'd be without one of these, so very very strongly recommended to any parent.
