Braun Thermoscan Ear Thermometer-irt4520 Feature
IRT 4520. ExacTemp. Contents: Braun ThermoScan ear thermometer; Protective case with lens-filter storage; 21 Disposable lens-filters; 2 Alkaline batteries (2x1.5V (AA, LR 6)). The most accurate ear thermometer from Braun. Pre-warmed Tip: For improved measuring conditions and accuracy; Unique technology used in hospitals. Guidance System: Flashing light & beep confirm accuracy. More accurate than rectal (Measurements in detecting temperature changes) or temple (Nimah M et al ; Evaluation of infrared tympanic thermometry, Pediatr Crit Care Med 2003; 4 (3): A74). Why measure in the ear? The ear is an excellent site to measure temperature. Braun ThermoScan measures the infrared heat generated by the eardrum and surrounding tissues. The eardrum shares blood supply with the temperature control center in the brain. Therefore, changes in body temperature are reflected sooner in the ear than at other sites. Lens-Filter Ejector: For easy lens-filter removal; Lens-Filter Detector: Confirms lens-filter in place; Flexible Tip: For added gentleness; Memory function (8x). Without Pre-Warmed Tip: A conventional tip at room temperature has a cooling effect on the eat 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. With Pre-Warmed Tip: Unlike other ear thermometers, Braun ThermScan 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.
