We know that your family's health is of the utmost importance, and when it comes to checking for a fever at home, you want accurate and reliable results quickly. Braun is the #1 brand recommended by pediatricians.* The Braun ThermoScan 4 ear thermometer provides clinically accurate readings in 1 second. It's easy to use, compact, and fast. Ear is the best site to measure fever as it allows for a more accurate reflection of core body temperature.** Ideal for the whole family, this compact and handheld digital ear thermometer has a color-coded screen with instant fever detection to visually help you interpret the temperature reading. A green screen indicates normal temperature, yellow indicates a fever, and red indicates a high fever is detected. Each screen display is also accompanied by a specific audio temperature indicator – one beep signals normal temperature, 2 consecutive beeps signal the reading is equal or higher to 99.5 °F (37.5 °C), and 4 beeps signal if the reading is equal or higher to 101.4 °F (38.6 °C). You'll get professional accuracy with 1-second temperature readings.*Based on survey reporting that of surveyed pediatricians who recommend a brand of thermometers, Braun is the most recommended.**2Nimah MM, Bshesh K, Callahan JD, Jacobs BR.
