Braun Thermo Scan Ear Thermometer

From the #1 brand recommended by pediatricians,* the Braun ThermoScan 4 is a digital ear thermometer that’s easy to use, compact, and fast. Ear is the best site to measure fever as it allows for a more accurate reflection of core body temperature.** Ideal for the whole family, this compact and handheld digital ear thermometer has a color-coded screen with instant fever detection to visually help you interpret the temperature reading. A green screen indicates normal temperature, yellow indicates a fever, and red indicates a high fever is detected. Each screen display is also accompanied by a specific audio temperature indicator – one beep signals normal temperature, 2 consecutive beeps signal the reading is equal or higher to 99.5 °F (37.5 °C), and 4 beeps signal if the reading is equal or higher to 101.4 °F (38.6 °C). You’ll get professional accuracy with 1-second temperature readings.

*Based on a survey reporting that of the surveyed pediatricians (1) who recommend a brand of thermometers, Braun is the most recommended; and (2) who use a branded thermometer, Braun is the most frequently used.
