More accurate than rectal¹ or temple² ¹ Measurements in detecting temperature changes. ² Nimah M et al. Pediatr Crit Care Med Suppl, 2003. With Pre-warmed tip Unlike other ear thermometers, Braun ThermoScan ExacTemp features a pre-warmed tip that minimizes the cooling effect that could result from the introduction of a cool probe tip. The pre-warmed tip helps ensure accuracy measurement after measurement. Without Pre-warmed tip A conventional tip at room temperature has a cooling effect on the ear canal. This cool-down effect might result in an inaccurate temperature reading being shown on the display. A cooler temperature in the ear canal could also affect the accuracy of repeated measurements. Why measuring in the ear? The ear is an excellent site to measure temperature. Braun ThermoScan measures the infrared heat generated by the eardrum and the surrounding tissues. The eardrum shares blood supply with the temperature control center in the brain. Therefore temperature changes are reflected more quickly and accurately than at other sites.
