ThermoScan7 Infrared ear thermometer, IRT6520, age-dependent temperature display, colour display

Age Precision - Age-dependent setting

Clinical studies have shown that the definition of fever depends on the age of a child ** A temperature that is normal in a four-year-old can mean fever in a newborn. Many parents are not aware of this. Braun has developed the new Age Precision technology for age-dependent setting of fever limits so that the measured temperature value can be interpreted at first glance. This technology puts an end to guesswork and provides certainty with regard to the correct interpretation of the measured values.

Why is it advantageous to measure temperature in the ear with the Braun ThermoScan?

Braun's ThermoScan measures the infrared heat emitted by the eardrum and surrounding tissue. Since the eardrum is supplied by the same blood vessels as the temperature control centre in the brain, the ear precisely reflects the changes in the body's core temperature. The Braun ThermoScan has proven to be more accurate than rectal temperature measurement.*** The thermometer probe can also be used on newborns for safe temperature measurement because it does not need to be fully inserted into the ear canal for accurate measurement.

Age Precision Technology

Age Precision is used for age-dependent setting of fever limits This technology allows you to select the age of the child (0-3 months, 3-36 months and 36 months to adulthood) and quickly and easily interpret the reading for that age using the color-coded backlit display.

Preheated probe tip and ExacTemp

The insertion of the measuring tip cools the measuring area in the ear, resulting in fluctuating measured values. The measuring tip of the ThermoScan 7, on the other hand, is preheated and thus ensures professional accuracy. Thanks to the pre-heated measuring tip, the thermometer makes measuring a more pleasant experience, especially for small children, and is suitable for measuring newborns.

nightlight

The Braun ThermoScan 7 is equipped with a large LCD display and night light, which makes it easy to read the temperature in the dark and reduces the risk of waking the child during the measurement.

Hygienic disposable protective caps

The protective caps are designed so that they can be easily exchanged between uses and do not require time-consuming cleaning of the probe. They're BPA and latex-free. Use a hygienic disposable protective cap for each measurement:

1) to enable hygienic measurement.
2) To protect your child from cross-contamination.
3) Ensure that cerumen residues do not affect the accuracy of the measurement.
