Every parent know that it’s almost impossible to measure infant or baby heat using traditional digital thermometer, simply because these kind of thermometers need at least 90 second to firmly hold within the arm pit. It’s a very hard job if you have a crying toddler. I also know well as a parent that there is great possibility every baby gets a fever a few times a year, that’s way an accurate thermometer should be ready at home since 0.5 degree Celsius difference really matter.

Traditional” digital temperature measure temple or arm pit, these consider skin temperatures not core body temperatures; they can be influenced by external factors such as sweating. Likewise, oral temperatures can be influenced by external factors such as breathing. I will not consider rectal thermometer, in my opinion this thermometer will not make measuring body heat easier. The best choice left is ear thermometer and there is only one name has to consider: Braun Thermoscan.

There are 3 Braun Thermoscan product types work best: PRO series (PRO 4000 and PRO 3000), IRT 4020, and Braun Thermoscan Ear Thermometer IRT 4520 series.

Braun Thermoscan Ear Thermometer IRT4520 with ExacTemp Technology

Using Braun Thermoscan Ear Thermometer IRT4520 is easy, just press on and within 2 or 3 second you get the result. All I need is to place into ear hole to measure the eardrum temperature, the ear drum shares its blood supply with the temperature control center of the brain so it’s best indicator of body temperature. The Braun ThermoScan measures the infrared heat generated by the eardrum and surrounding tissue, giving an accurate temperature in just a few seconds.

Braun Thermoscan ExacTemp feature has a pre-heated tip which is very comfortable for the ear. This feature minimizes cooling effect on the ear canal and deliver the most accurate results possible. An ExacTemp light flashes during the measuring process, the light flashes continuously once the temperature has been taken, and a beep signals that you have an accurate reading.

This thermometer has large memory feature with date/time included. It is advisable to measure your temperature when you are healthy. Basic temperature can vary from people to people, I notice that my temp slightly higher than my wife. This stored memory is very useful to compare your baby temp in different condition.

Braun Thermoscan Ear Thermometer IRT4520 is the best choice. The IRT 4520 and IRT 4020 have exact functionality of Braun PRO 4000 series. The Pro series price $120 higher than IRT 4520, the PRO series just more heavy duty, with anti-theft features, and additional base-station which in my opinion is not necessary. The only minor drawback so far is the LCD, it has no back-lit and almost impossible to see the reading while the light off, but I find it’s not a big problem all I just need to go to a light source to check it.

Thanks for this hub..seen these in doctors office but I did not know these kinds of thermometers are commercially available for common use. I will get one if I get it for less than $100.

Hi,

A friend of my has the 4020 on her baby shower list, but I've found the 4520 one selling for cheaper.. and I assume that it is a better model than the 4020 one, with the higher model number. I can't really tell what the differences between the two are, can you help? thanks.

Hi Lulu, both models are very similar, the only features that available in IRT4020 is a protective plastic cap feature to cover the disposable lens caps. Some people find this is a very useful feature.

I hope this information will help you.

Thanks Andy! I went for the 4520 in the end.. RRP is more expensive than 4020 but is actually £7 cheaper on amazon! :)

I suspect our kid sucked on the plastic cap because it stopped measuring and the light is not coming on

It is very rare for me to use these but there are times you really need them if you can't tell someone really is too hot!
