Why Measure in The Ear?
The ear canal is the best site to measure a fever because of its close proximity to the eardrum which shares the blood supply of the brain's temperature control center. This site allows for a more accurate reflection of the body's core temperature.

The Braun ThermoScan thermometer has been carefully developed for accurate, safe and fast temperature measurements in the ear.  The shape of the thermometer prevents it from being inserted too far into the ear canal to hurt the eardrum.

Includes:
1 - Thermometer
1 - Protective Case

Meets the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) accuracy requirement specified in ASTM standard E1965-98 as it pertains to infrared thermometers.
