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. Exclusive pre-warmed tip technology is designed to minimize the cooling effect of the tip inside the ear canal, providing accurate measurements time after time. Unique positioning system uses a light and beep to confirm proper positioning. Memory function recalls the last temperature reading. * Based on a survey reporting that of the surveyed pediatricians (1) who recommend a brand of thermometers, Braun is the most recommended; and (2) who use a branded thermometer, Braun is the most frequently used. ** Measurements in detecting temperature changes.
