| Editorial Reviews: | | |  | | 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. |

| The most essential piece of equipment any parent should have | |
| | Having a son who suffers from febrile convulsions due to high tempratures, this is a godsend, allowing me to monitor his temp accuratly and quickly, meaning i can get him his pain relief as soon as possible, and hopefully get his temp down before he fits.
This is the second of these I have purchased from Amazon, as I have lost the first somwhere in the house, and I would rather shell out another £30 to have one to hand next day than be without one.
| | | I saw these being used in the hospital and was impressed at how quick they were. Can understand why too with the pre-warming technique for the probe. It was becoming a challenge to take temperature of my youngest child, especially when she was unwell. The Braun was used at hospital for her after which we had to seriously consider getting one. It's child friendliness and accuracy have made it invaluable. Daughter responds much better to it so it gets 5 stars from us.
| | Essential item for every first aid box especially for parents | |
| | When I asked my hubby what to put in this review he said "What is there to say about it but its simple and it works, buy it"
Essentially he is right. With a reading in just a couple of seconds it is perfect for looking after the kids and after buying ours, instead of the usual babygrow etc its the gift I've bought for everyone who's just had a baby. Its refreshing also to see its the same unit that my doc has in the surgery, similar to the one in casualty and same as the one our HV has. With those sort of recommendations and Amazons great price. Why buy anything else?
| | | 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.
| | | Bought this to replace my older braun of over 6 years old. Do remember that it is sensitive. If you suspect sore ears (tends to be unilateral), the sore side can exhibit a slightly higher temp...useful tip I hope. Of course, if you have an otoscope or auriscope.....
