Infrared technology measures eardrum heat for a temperature reading in seconds. | 
Small, soft speculum is ideal for use on infants. | So taking a temperature should not make you, or your child, feel any worse. Thanks to infrared technology, Braun ThermoScan ear thermometers gently take a temperature in just seconds by measuring the heat generated by the eardrum and surrounding tissue. Because Braun is the thermometer brand most used by pediatricians (based on surveys of pediatricians in the United States), you know you can trust this thermometer to give safe, accurate readings. It is also used by more mothers than any other infrared thermometer brand. The Most Reliable Method
Ear temperatures are clinically proven to be a reliable indicator of core body temperature. The tympanic membrane, also called the eardrum, is located close to, and shares blood supply with, the hypothalamus, the body's temperature control center. The ear is an easily accessible site for measuring body temperature, and especially comfortable for "uncooperative" patients such as young children. In fact, no consumer method is more accurate. An Accurate and Gentle Thermometer
All Braun ThermoScan thermometers are clinically proven to be accurate. They meet the ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) accuracy requirements, as it pertains to infrared thermometers. With its small and soft speculum, the Braun ThermoScan is ideal for use on infants. And because it takes only seconds to obtain a reading, it is easy to check whether someone has a fever. You will most appreciate the speed and ease of ThermoScan when your child is ill and you need to regularly monitor their temperature. ThermoScan gives you quick results, leaving you the time and energy to give your child the extra care and attention she or he needs. Best of all, the risk of transferring germs from one user to another is virtually eliminated trough the use of disposable lens filters. Plus, Braun's unique lens filter detector helps ensure proper use, and the lens filter ejector makes it easy to remove the lens filters.

Great for Babies and adults
By A2WI0UUKB9XYDQ on 2004-11-22
I'm a first time Mom and I was at first hesitant to purchase this thermometer but, I'm glad I did. It truly works very well and is an excellant buy. Usually sells for $60.00 in any baby store. Also very easy to use.
Not what I'd expect from Braun.
By A3URC5NIAIRYHK on 2006-01-24
I am sorry, but I cannot share the enthusiasm for this product. The readings are innacurate - several readings taken at short intervalls showed deviations of up to 2.5 degrees. To prove this, I repeated the test on myself with the same results. This is very critical since most doctors recommend a visit to the emergency room if the child's temperature exceeds 105. With this thermometer there is - at least for me - no accurate way of telling.
In addition, the button that activates the reading process gets stuck a lot, thereby producing no result at all. I finally replaced it with a professional model, the same kind that doctors use. Expensive, but worth it.
I am usually a fan Of Braun products. Not this one!
Great thermometer
By A15VS0UIPI4I20 on 2005-11-10
The ThermoScan is very accurate and easy to use. Now, I can take my twin babies temperatures in about two seconds without bothering them at all. I've even taken their temperatures while they were asleep without waking them up. It's a great product.
A "must have" for your baby!
By A3MDI5X8LAV2S7 on 2005-12-19
We decided to buy this product despite being told that only rectal thermometer is accurate for infants. Nevertheless, knowing the usual high quality of Braun products, we gave it a try and are very happy about it!
It's one of the best investments we've ever made. We loved the following features:
- You do not disturb the baby and can measure the temperature even if the baby is asleep;
- The result is displayed in 2 seconds;
- Very ergonomic;
- With an easy used lens filter ejector, can be used for the whole family.
The thermometer has a convenient feature of switching between Fahrenheit and Celsius temperature scales. Also, if you need more than 1 temperature measurement stored in the memory, you can consider Braun IRT 4520 - it saves 8 readings.
Excellent gift, especially for baby shower!
Great product!
By A2DIXZSPXYYPDG on 2006-02-14
I purchased this to replace a typical local drug store ear thermometer. This device is much more accurate than the more expensive one! Tested and tested and re-tested and every time without fail within acceptable difference to a traditional thermometer (+- .2 max difference). Only thing I don't enjoy is there is no light for the display, so at night it's harder to read.
- Excellent!
By A2E71WUNZGNU0A on 2005-09-09
It's a good thermometer, my son (3 and a half years old) has a problem: when he has fever, I can't feel it when I touch him. This item is very quickly to take his temperature and I don't bore him any more with others thermometers. Thanks BRAUN for it!
- A must have in the house
By A1APXVECCUZONE on 2006-03-03
Great for babies! After a bit of practice, it is very easy to insert it properly into the kids' ears to get a proper reading. Major benefit is the speed. The old thermometers may be perceived as more accurate but I never had the heart to insert one into my babies' rectums and they take forever when done orally or under the arm. This is definitely the way to go.
- Much More Practical Than Traditional Methods
By A1MGOJCDSUWL3N on 2007-02-03
We bought our unit at a local drugstore over two years ago, but will like to share our experience, which overall has been great. We do repeat readings just to be sure (can't wonder about your baby's health) but if done properly, we have never had a difference of over 0.2 Celsius degrees. It is great to take our baby's temperature in a blink while he is asleep. Thermal temperature reading is accurate, fast and reliable. The unit is well made, you can tell the quality, and Braun is renown as a reliable manufacturer.
- Not Consistent
By AWLK6NSSV0YNA on 2007-03-30
The IRT 4020 ThermoScan is easy to use on babies, and takes just a second to get a temperature reading, but I am never able to get a consistent temperature. I have tried using the thermometer in the same ear 3 times in a row, and the temperature reading will flux from 98.2-101.1! The only way I know for sure if someone in our household has a temp is if the reading is about 102 and their forehead feels very warm. Having an ear thermometer is nice, but I'd suggest spending a little more money so it can actually serve it's purpose efficiently.
- no night light
By A1DDFKITF3I7Z2 on 2007-05-03
Great thermometer but no night light which is critical for me since my child sleeps in the dark most of the time when he's sick.
