Oorthermometer Braun ThermoScan 7 IRT6520 wit

The Braun ThermoScan 7 (IRT6520) ear thermometer with Age Precision provides age-adjustable fever guidance to help interpret body temperature readings for every family member. The device uses a patented pre-warmed tip and ExacTemp guidance to ensure accurate ear measurements by detecting infrared heat from the eardrum and surrounding tissue. Select the patient’s age, take the measurement, and the colour-coded display (green, yellow, red) indicates normal, elevated, or high temperature according to that age.

Advantages

Braun ThermoScan 7 offers professional-level accuracy thanks to its pre-warmed tip that reduces cooling effects on the measurement site and a position-confirming ExacTemp system that signals correct placement with a light and beep. Age Precision technology adapts fever thresholds to the patient’s age, making interpretation straightforward for infants, children and adults. The soft speculum and probe design is intended to be gentle, and the thermometer is suitable for use across all ages when used carefully.

How to use

Set the patient’s age using the Age Precision button, insert the probe gently into the ear canal following the manufacturer’s instructions, then press to take the temperature. The device measures infrared heat from the eardrum and surrounding tissue and confirms correct positioning via ExacTemp. Read the result on the screen: green indicates normal temperature for the selected age, yellow signals elevated temperature, and red indicates high temperature. Use a new probe cover if applicable and follow hygiene recommendations.

Recommendations

If the indicator is red, consult a doctor regardless of symptoms. If the indicator is yellow and the person appears ill or has symptoms (irritability, lethargy, vomiting, diarrhea, poor feeding, seizures, or other concerning signs), contact a physician to determine next steps. If the indicator is green and there are no symptoms, medical consultation may not be necessary. In infants and very young children even a small temperature rise can be significant—seek medical advice when in doubt.
