1) Health and Beauty Health and Beauty Braun IRT 4020 ThermoScan Ear Thermometer by Braun.
I have a 3.5 yr old and a 2 yr old, for the first 3 years I fought my children with the simple digital thermometers and trying to get under arm readings. (try doing this with an autistic 3 yr old) Finally I paid the $40 for this thermometer at Target and it has been a life saver! It reads SO FAST, there is no struggling with toddlers to hold still. BUY this product, you will not regret it! I can´t believe I waited as long as I did to purchase one.

I don´t know how others compare, though my mother purchased a cheapy dig. ear thermometer at the drugstore, and it just wasn´t as easy to use and fast as this one.¤

2) Health and Beauty Health and Beauty Braun IRT 4020 ThermoScan Ear Thermometer by Braun. 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.¤

3) Health and Beauty Health and Beauty Braun IRT 4020 ThermoScan Ear Thermometer by Braun. 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.¤

4) Health and Beauty Health and Beauty Braun IRT 4020 ThermoScan Ear Thermometer by Braun. 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.¤

5) Health and Beauty Health and Beauty Braun IRT 4020 ThermoScan Ear Thermometer by Braun. 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.¤

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.
