I have been using Braun Thermoscan in-ear thermometers for the last 10 years and I still have my original model, but it is starting to get tired and erratic.This model is much smaller and lighter than the original, indeed smaller than most in-ear thermometers I have seen and small enough that you could happily pack it in the side pocket of a sponge bag for holidays with your family if you wanted to reassurance of being able to check if your child is unwell.The lens covers are interchangeable with my original model, which is great news as I have a half used box and they are great for ensuring that you don't contaminate anyone with anything from another person's ear,

I have used and indeed own a lot of digital thermometers for my work and the go-to brand is always Braun for very good reason.This was usable straight out of the box, is intuitive and simple with thankfully only one button and a auto shut off. This can be used from birth and I liked the fact that it is much much lighter than other models - meaninv it is portable so if you're a health professional it's easy to port to visiting patients and it's great to throw into a suitcase if you want to take it away. The set comes with 21 disposable tips one already pre-loaded (and yes it is ok to use the same one on the same person as long as they don't have an ear infection which might transfer to the unaffected side!)

We have an older design of this model and it feels like this is a cheaper but possibly improved version. I will attempt to explain.1) The older one came in a case which stored and kind of dispensed the covers. This new one doesn't, so you have to find a safe clean place to store the ear covers.2) The older one had a light on it that you could see when it was in the ear, it changed to green when a successful reading had taken place. The new one seems to have replaced that with a less easy to identify picture of an ear on the LCD3) The older one seemed to be able to detect the ear better, or that may be me using this new one wrong.This new one is as accurate and works as well in measurement but it feels a bit more faffy - with the LCD being on the side and lacking the green LED indicator,

I’m always sceptical about these types of thermometers as they always seem to not work and with results in 1 second I was quite intrigued. But I need not have been, this ear thermometer does exactly what it says, gives you a reading in 1 second. As I’m sure anyone purchasing this will have a baby/toddler or child who when is poorly becomes very restless and agitated, this thermometer is great as it’s easy to put in your child’s ear whilst you can soothe them on your chest or whilst cuddling/cradling then, it literally takes 1 second to get the temperature which is what all is parents need when we have a poorly child. The thermometer also has a clever function where it will beep a specific amount of times to let you know if the temperature is normal,

Very simple to use, the battery is pre-installed and there is a disposable cone already fitted underneath the protective shield.I bought the first of these devices for the NHS,Instructions are meagre but accurate, except no guide to positioning, why?These are hard to self use, the operator needs to be able to see the ear canal and the measuring snout should be aimed down the canal towards the ear drum.Most first timers point it at the cartilage or the meatus (skin area) in the ear, giving a false reading, the tip is a mirrored lens, so it should never be pressed up against skin or an inaccurate or failed reading will occur.Tympanic thermistors also do not function if the ear is full of wax!False reading,

This is an excellent thermometer, just like the ones that doctors and nurses use. It's so much better than the old-fashioned under-the-tongue thermometer which I had in the bathroom cupboard -- this one works instantly and gives a temperature reading in one second. It's so much better than my other one, which you had to keep under your tongue for about a minute while it slowly took your temperature.This Braun thermometer works by measuring the infrared temperature in the eardrum and surrounding tissue, which gives an accurate reading as apparently "the eardrum shares blood supply with the temperature control centre in the brain".The exact temperature is clearly displayed,

This is a well thought out, excellently engineered product. The Thermoscan uses infra-red technology to measure your temperature. The sensor is placed into the ear and the infra red lens provides a very accurate reading in less than a second or two. The temperature reading can be read off the clear and bright LCD - but thoughtfully, Braun have also provided an audio indicator too - one beep - normal temperature, two beeps repeated = slightly raised temperature, three beeps repeated = high temperature. This is a very effective andd quick indication.The Braun Thermoscan comes with a battery installed - its a 2032 type and I don't know how long it will last with normal use - along with 10 lens covers (

Using this thermometer couldn't be easier - it has one button, and takes just one second. The display is clear enough to read in decent light and for visually impaired people it's easy to check their own temperature as it bleeps to indicate if your temperature is normal, elevated, or very high.As you only have to gently pop it in your ear, it's much safer than inserting anything in someone's mouth. It uses special hygienic covers, so you can ensure nothing is transmitted between people, which also means you can use it on a pet if necessary (better than the normal place for them, too!).It does recommend using one cover every time, and the box comes with hygiene 20 covers inside.

I got this thermoscan 3 as I needed a new thermo it is nice and also easy to use and it comes with most things you could want with a thermo. It comes with disposable hygienic lens filters these are so the lens doesn't get dirty from peoples ear wax, you get 24 in a pack and you put a different one on ever time you have used it which I think is a very good idea also comes with a battery so you don't need to buy one separate and you get a lid too put over the lens too to stop it from germs aswell. I used this on my child and it was so quick you get one bleep if your temperature is normal or 2 beeps if it's slightly high and 4 beeps if its way to high and all you have to do is press the button

The Braun Thermoscan is a handy, light weight thermometer, which is just the right size to fit in a nappy or travel bag.The box contains the thermometer and cap (for protection), lens filters and instruction book.The instructions are easy to follow, and the device simple to use. Attach a filter on the end, pop it into your child's ear and press the button. It'll bleep and how many times it does so depends on your child's temperature.The temperature pops up on the LCD screen on the side, and you get a clear and accurate reading.I especially like the fact that a filter goes on the end of the thermometer to help ensure the thermometer stays clean,

This thermometer appears to be a slightly revamped version of one that has served me well for several years. The one new feature is that it beeps twice or three times to indicate an elevated temperature. I suppose this might sometimes be helpful in a darkened room, or if you aren't quite sure what the normal ranges are, but personally I would always look at the displayed value anyway, so find this is limited use. That said, this is nevertheless an excellent thermometer. Taking a series of readings in close succession, readings appear to be within +/- 0.1 degrees, so long as the probe is correctly aligned. As with all infrared ear thermometers, it is important for the tip to have a clear view of the ear drum,

This is a very reliable and accurate thermometer. I've had this 10 months and buying another one for family as the fancy one with forehead scanners just don't work properly. They're too much messing about with buttons and clip ons. This one is switched on ready to go and is consistent and accurate.Someone said in a previous review that the reading is not the same in each ear - well it won't be cos or bodies are not machines in that sense. We're organic, so will vary slightly over different sides of our body.The reading may be a point of a degree out each side.But to be honest, common sense is our most useful tool. If you are hot and shivering - you're not well! The temperature reading helps to confirm what we see and feel,

Came in very handy when my little one was ill yesterday and the high temperature recorded necessitated a trip to the GP. I have another Braun in ear thermometer and have been so impressed that I got this one to carry out and about with us. Braun is a trusted brand and I have found them very reliable when it come to thermometers. The GP's own Braun in ear thermometer was in line with the readings on ours. This thermometer gives audio warnings for temperatures whereas my other is visual (green/red background on screen). Both are effective in helping you know when to worry and when everything's ok.Am so glad I had this as little one was able to see regular GP and not out of hours service as temp

I've used loads of Braun ear thermometers, largely because they are effective and efficient and this model is no exception. You can use it with no set-up - it even arrives with a plastic tip already in place. The set comes with 21 other plastic tips which will last a while, but replacements are not expensive.This is better than other models as it measures temperature much quicker, giving a younger person less time to react negatively to a probe being stuck in their ear. The thermometer also does a long beep to tell you the temperature is normal, two quick beeps to tell you their is a mild temp, and three quick beeps to tell you their is a high temp. This means you can use it in the dark,

I really like the thermometer and found it easy to use. I really like that it comes with a small box of hygiene protectors and they are easily removed and replaced. You are able to get a very accurate reading due to the figures showing up on a small screen, it also has 3 different types of beeps which are all dependant on what temperature reading you get, this is a great indication of whether you have a temperature or not before you look at the number recorded. One handy feature with this thermometer is when turning it on it shows the last recorded temperature on the screen, perfect for keeping an eye on increasing or decreasing temperatures, although it doesn't have a feature to indicate temperatures lower than the normal temperature.
