Customer Reviews

Accurate, easy to read-good for the whole family.
I purchased this ThermoScan as a gift, however, I bought my first one when my son was born almost 15 years ago, and we are still using it. Never had any problems with it, and the whole family uses it. Highly recommended.

DANGEROUS = Choking Risk
Yes all the Braun ear thermometers are great when it comes to taking a child's temperature. It is unrealistic to try to take an oral temp when a toddler is feverish.

The problem lies with the disposable covers "lens filters". They are cone shaped: 25mm deep, with a 27mm diameter. Unfortunately somewhat collapsible. Inhaled it would fit neatly into a trachea or mainstem bronchus.

So the real potential exists that a misplaced cover may be inhaled by a child. Thus blocking the airway. Leading to acute respiratory arrest.

I feel compelled to offer a safer alternative. There are Temporal Scanners which obtain the temperature by gently caressing across the forehead. No covers no danger.
