What is ExacTemp®?
ExacTemp® is a guidance system that confirms good position in the ear with a light and a beep to
ensure accurate temperature measurement.
Does Braun offer a stick thermometer?
Braun does not offer a digital stick thermometer, but we recommend using the Vicks digital
thermometers. They are clinically accurate, provide color-coded fever guidance and fast readings.
Are batteries included with thermometers?
Yes, the Braun Thermoscan® 5 IRT6500 includes two AA batteries.
Do Braun thermometers come with lens filters?
Lens filters are included with all our Ear thermometers. Please use a new lens filter after each use for
an accurate reading.
Do all Braun thermometers take the same size lens filter?
Yes. Braun lens filters are universal across all our Ear thermometers & Braun lens filters are the only
brand to ensure an accurate reading when used with Braun thermometers.
Are Braun lens filters BPA free?
Yes, Braun disposable lens filters are BPA & latex free.
What are the benefits to using an ear thermometer?
The ear is a good site for temperature measurement because it reflects the core temperature of the
body
[1]
. Body temperature is regulated by the hypothalamus
[2]
, which shares the same blood supply
as the tympanic membrane
[3]
. This means changes in core body temperature are usually detected
sooner in the tympanic membrane than other areas. All Braun infrared ear thermometers feature
ThermoScan® technology, which measure heat generated by the eardrum and surrounding tissue to
give an accurate temperature on an easy to read digital display in seconds.
How do I clean my thermometer?
Gently wipe the surface of the probe tip with a cotton swab or soft cloth moistened with rubbing
alcohol (70% Isopropyl).
What is Age Precision® Technology?
Clinical research shows the definition of fever changes as newborns grow into children & children grow
into adults. The Age Precision feature takes the guesswork out of temperature taking, allowing you to
select the appropriate age setting – 0-3 months, 3-36 months or 36+ months.
