Why Braun No touch + forehead thermometer?
Measurement in under 2 seconds
The innovative infrared technology measures forehead
temperature in under 2 seconds, whether you use the
touch or no-touch option.
Accurate and reliable
Due to the unique technology, the Braun No touch
+ forehead thermometer captures the heat naturally
given off by the forehead to calculate temperature. Get
the same professional accuracy whether touching your
child’s forehead with the thermometer or holding it up
to 2 inches (5 cm) away.
Easy to use
The Braun No touch + forehead thermometer is
non-invasive. A measurement can be taken even
while a child is sleeping.
The Braun No touch + forehead thermometer is less
threatening to a child than a rectal thermometer and
easier to use than other methods.
Safe and hygienic
No-touch option helps minimize spreading of germs.
Safe for use on children and adults.

Temperature guidance feature
Temperature guidance helps you to better understand the meaning of
your child’s temperature with the color indicated on the display. The
screen displays a green, yellow, or red backlight depending on the
temperature reading. 10 audible beeps indicate temperatures above
99.4F (37.4C).
It is important to note that a patient’s temperature may be impacted
by age, gender or medical condition, or by factors such as ambient
temperature, time of day, medications taken or the temperature
measurement site3.
NOTE: Backlight remains OFF when below temperature readings are registered:
93.9≤T≤96.3°F (34.4 ≤T ≤35.7°C)

How does Braun No touch + forehead work?
The Braun No touch + forehead thermometer measures infrared energy
radiated from the skin at the center of the forehead area. This captured
energy (which is twice as much thermal energy compared to a traditional
forehead thermometer2 ), is collected through the sensor and converted
to an oral equivalent temperature value.
2. A traditional forehead product without any optical system to capture radiated heat.
The Braun No touch + forehead thermometer has been clinically
tested and proven to be safe and accurate when used in
accordance with its operating instruction manual.

Position device on or up to 2
inches (5 cm) away from the
center of the forehead, just

where you are aiming. If the
eyebrow area is covered with hair,
sweat or dirt, please clean the
area and then wait 10 minutes to
improve the reading accuracy.
It is important to hold the thermometer and
the forehead steady during measurement.
Movement will impact the temperature reading.
