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.

3Position

Position device on or up to 2

inches (5 cm) away from the

center of the forehead, just

between the eyebrows. For No

touch readings, the yellow

guidance light will show you

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.
