Infrared tympanic thermometry in comparison with other temperature measurement techniques in febrile children. Pediatr Crit Care Med 7.1 [26]: 48-55). Why measure in the ear? 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. Always replace disposable lens filters to maintain accuracy and hygiene. Replacement Lens Filters: Model LF 4. For infants, children and adults. For home use only.
