Product details
- #1 Brand among doctors1. Braun ThermoScan® 7 Ear thermometer is clinically validated and provides accuracy you can trust so you can manage your health at home, with confidence.
- AGE PRECISION® TECHNOLOGY: The definition of fever changes with age2 as a child grows from newborn to toddler. Our proprietary algorithm helps you understand the results by adjusting colour coding based on the age of your child - green indicates no fever, yellow indicates when a fever is present, and red indicates a high fever.
- ACCURACY YOU CAN TRUST: Clinically proven to be as accurate as rectal measurement in newborns3.
- EXACTEMP® STABILITY INDICATOR: Accuracy made easy thanks to the user-friendly technology that uses a light and a beep to confirm a stable position and help ensure an accurate reading.
- RELIABLE RESULTS: The ear is the best site to measure fever as it allows for more accurate reflection of core body temperature4. Our thermometer is engineered with a pre-warmed tip (34°C) that is close to your own body temperature, minimising the cooling effect that can occur, and ensuring accurate results every time.
- READY TO USE: Comes equipped with 2 AA batteries plus a protective cradle for safe storage. To ensure device accuracy and keep the lens clean and free from obstructions, 21 Braun Hygiene Caps are included. Making it safe, effective, and ready to use on the entire family.
