LF 40 Ear Thermometer Lens Filters Ear Thermometers Deliver Most exact Readings
If you’re the parent of a young child, you most likely know all too well that the average baby gets seven fevers a year. Medical studies prove that ear thermometers reflect changes in core body temperature faster than oral thermometers and more precisely than rectal or temple measurements. Rectal temperatures lag behind changes in core body temperature, so they aren’t generally a dependable display. Temple and underarm measurements take skin temperatures, not core body temperatures, so they may be influenced by external factors like sweating or drafts. Likewise, oral temperatures may be influenced by external factors like drinking, eating, and breathing. The eardrum, but, shares its blood supply with the temperature control center of the brain, so changes in body temperature are reflected sooner and more precisely in the ear than in other places. Pre warmed Tip and Guidance System Ensure Accuracy Every Time
When you use the Braun ThermoScan, you may be able to make sure you will get professional level results every time. Unlike other ear thermometers, Braun ThermoScan ExacTemp features a patented pre warmed tip. This feature minimizes the cooling effect on the ear canal that can result from using room temperature info, meaning you get the most correct results possible.
Also, the ThermoScan’s distinctive ExacTemp technology with Guidance System confirms with a light and a beep when you have taken a correct measurement. An ExacTemp light flashes throughout the measuring procedure and signals when the probe hasn’t been placed properly in the ear canal. The light shines continuously once the temperature was taken, and a beep signals you have an correct reading. And when you must on a regular basis monitor your baby’s temperature, the ThermoScan’s memory function helps by keeping track of the development of the temperature, storing up to eight different results. Infra Red Technology and adaptable Tip Make Measurement Fast and Gentle
The Braun ThermoScan is the ideal thermometer for parents who have fussy kids. The ThermoScan calculates the infrared heat generated by the eardrum and bordering tissue, giving an correct temperature in just some seconds. With such a fast measurement time and with a small, soft, adaptable tip, the ThermoScan is as light as may be. In fact, the ThermoScan is so light and fast, you may be able to take your baby’s temperature while he or she’s sleeping, without worrying about an unscheduled wake up. Lens Filters Improve Accuracy and Safety
To ensure the accuracy of every temperature reading, a new clean lens filter should be used for each measurement. Lens filters protect the tip from scratches, also as from impurities like earwax, which may adversely influence the accuracy. Also, exchanging the lens filter before every temperature reading virtually removes the risk of spreading bacteria from one person to the next. For easy use, a lens filter detector ensures that a lens filter generally is in place, and a lens filter ejector makes removing used lens filters as easy as may be.

5.0 out of five stars
Truly amazing speed,conv. And accuracy,

REAL NAME
&nbsp,&nbsp,

&nbsp,&nbsp,

Bought this couple of weeks back consequent to my son developing high fever and which fluctuated considerably. This caused the Red Cross $9.00 digital thermometer useless as it takes approx. A minute under armpits to record temparature. Our doctor told us to purchase Braun established ear thermometer.

First off there are a pretty models available. After taking to doctor and doing research the two new models are IRT 4520 and IRT 4020. They are EXACT copies all functionality like their PRO 4000 versions! The ExacTemp feature has a pre heated tip which is more comfy for the ear. The older models PRO 3000 is about $80, but uses lithium batteries and I do not think has pre heated tip.

Has a “sort of” battery meter. Starts to show that battery’s low, flashing means will effect results. Very good

Usage: Switch on, place tip with tip cover, without cover, does not work, push START and inside TWO SECONDS you get the temperature. Somewhat hold the ear to place the tip INTO THE EAR HOLE to get best interior EAR CANAL reading. The readings are stored for access afterward total eight memory readings. Auto shut off: 60 sec.

The storage is into a white canister type case, which has HORIZONTAL standing not good as VERTICAL standing could have been better or if provided ALSO good.

The given 21 nos. Of lens caps are little. Thankfully, the whole package of lens caps goes INSIDE the thermometer case, storing them together. I have put a Clorex cloth inside the case and into which I push the thermometer, this disinfects my cap and keeps the thermometer disinfected. Just remember to change the cloth occasionally

Size wise it is a bit thick and somewhat problematic to carry along but caused by it is accuracy/etc. Worth the annoyance.

The ejector is useful. Just press it and the lens cap is THROWN forward. Be cautious, it is literally EJECTED out. Point towards garbage can I hit my wife’s nose.,

Note: If you get covers for the PRO 4xxx series you may be able to use it with IRT 4520. That is good. The batteries are regular AA series and last a bit. The IRT 4020 has one extra feature has a protecting plastic cap covering the disposable lens caps. That is really useful. If you get 4520 and 4020 at approx. The same price, I could choose 4020.

There are many calibrations possible, but advice you NOT to do so. If you keep pressing the I/O button after OFF, then you may be able to switch between Celcius/Farenheit settings. You may be able to set the best temperature of the tip, define ambient room temp, etc Keep i/o button pressed, after OFF starts to FLASH, there will be deafening beep now release the I/O button. Then keep pressing short presses of the I/O to switch.

Note: though NOT STATED, it is wise to have the thermometer calibrated professionally KAZ, in US annually.

Weight about eight oz.

Any diff. Between ExacTemp and non Exac?

Yes the pre heated tip.

Any diff. Btw the Professional +$200 and this?

NONE in functionality, the PRO’s just more heavy responsibility, with anti theft features, base station, etc. All sold as accessories

Any diff. Btw this and the “Compact” one?

Yes this has ExacTemp, has Memory functions, in general quicker.

Does the PRO series lens cover fit?

Yes

Difference with IRT 4520 and IRT 4020?

IRT 4020 has a protecting cover over lens cover. IRT 4020 hard to purchase. Pro 4xxx series REPLICATES IRT 4520, not IRT 4020.

How accurate?

Very correct. I compared with mercury based prof. Thermometers.

Usage tips?

Use the SAME ear you’ll notice each ear records diff. Temp

Hold the ear somewhat up, push gently the tip INSIDE and press “Start”

Can I use it “orally”, rectum, arm pits?

I do not think it is gonna be hard, the tip’s intended for ears. Though stated possible can not imagine how.

Any features I could liked?

Yes, the following:

A Memory feature has the date/time included

B The memory feature has the LEFT ear and RIGHT ear set. I.E. 2 8 memory places, at least

C capability to switch off the BEEP

D A 2nd. Display where the “Start” button is to see the temp. Now priority low

E More thin the in general product

F Lens covers are costly

G The case can STAND, not lying down only

works well.But..,

By&nbsp,mom with kids new york See all my reviews

easy to use, but, screen doesn’t light up so when you take temperature in the center of the night which if you have kids is all the time, you still have to turn on a light to read a big shortcoming in my opinion

Quick readings, great value.,

I’m sure I’m not the 1st parent who has had to attempt and keep a struggling child steady while waiting 2+ minutes for the thermometer to register a reading. In this regard, the Braun ThermoScan is ideal. It takes an correct ear reading in just some seconds! The probe also doesn’t feel cold to the touch, so my child really looks to like having her temperature taken. The only disadvantage so far is that the LCD panel isn’t back lit. It’s impossible to see the reading in the semi darkness, and one has to go to a light source to check the measurement. Otherwise, a great product.
