Key Features
AgeSmart Technology
Braun's AgeSmart technology provides age-adjustable fever guidance, helping parents interpret temperature readings based on the child's age. Clinical research indicates that the definition of fever changes with age, a fact not always known by parents.
Fever Guidance Display
A large, color-coded display offers instant fever detection for all family members. The display indicates temperature ranges: Normal (Green), Moderate (Yellow), and High (Red).
Accurate Measurements
The exclusive pre-warmed tip technology minimizes the cooling effect of the tip inside the ear canal, ensuring accurate measurements consistently.
This thermometer is clinically proven to be more accurate than rectal or temple measurements.
Positioning Indicator
ExacTemp technology uses a light and beep to confirm proper positioning within the ear canal for reliable readings. [Positioning Indicator Symbol]
Night Light Feature
A built-in night light assists in taking temperatures even in dark environments. [Night Light Symbol]
Memory Function
The thermometer recalls the last temperature reading. [Memory Symbol]
Safe and Hygienic
Braun disposable lens filters are used to prevent cross-contamination and ensure accurate readings. It is recommended to always replace disposable lens filters to maintain accuracy and hygiene.
How it Works
The Braun ThermoScan measures the infrared heat generated by the eardrum and surrounding tissue. Because the eardrum shares blood supply with the brain's temperature control center, measurements accurately reflect changes in core body temperature.
Guaranteed Accuracy for All Ages
With its patented pre-warmed soft tip and guidance system, the Braun ThermoScan ear thermometer is suitable for babies' ears from birth onwards.

Understanding Fever
What is Fever?
Fever is defined as a body temperature consistently above your normal temperature range. It is a defense mechanism the body uses to fight infections, acting as a symptom rather than an illness itself.
It is recommended to practice taking your own temperature to determine your normal temperature range.
Frequently Asked Questions
Would the tip on the thermometer affect accuracy reading?
Yes. The tip on other ear thermometers can cool the area where the reading is taken, potentially leading to inaccurate results. The patented Braun pre-warmed tip is designed to minimize this cooling effect, ensuring accurate measurements time after time.
How can parents reduce the risk of infection when their children have a fever?
Infants and children may experience fever multiple times a year. Parents often take their child's temperature several times during each fever episode. Using Braun disposable lens filters ensures hygienic use without needing to clean or disinfect the sensor, virtually eliminating cross-contamination. Replacing the filter each time also prevents dirt or ear wax buildup that could affect reading accuracy.
