Step 1
Remove the thermometer from the protective case. Push the Power button. The Hygiene cap indicator will blink to signal one is needed. Attach a new Hygiene cap by pushing the thermometer probe straight into the Hygiene cap inside the box and then pulling out.
(*) Note: To achieve accurate measurements, make sure a new, clean Hygiene cap is in place before each measurement. The Braun ThermoScan will not work unless a Hygiene cap is attached.
Step 2
Select age with Age Precision button. Press button to toggle through each age group.
(*) Note: You must select an age in order to take a measurement.
Step 3
Fit the probe snuggly into the ear canal and direct towards opposite temple. ExacTemp will confirm stability and indicate consistent probe position with a light and a beep. Then push and release the Start button.
ExacTemp light will pulse while temperature measurement is in progress. The light will remain solid for 3 seconds to indicate that a successful temperature reading has been achieved.
The confirmation beep indicates that an accurate temperature measurement has been taken.
Step 4
For the next measurement, press Eject button to remove and discard used Hygiene cap.
The Braun ThermoScan Ear thermometer turns off automatically after 60 seconds of inactivity. The thermometer can also be turned off by pressing the Power button.

Easy to use however not recommended for using on small babies as doesn’t take an accurate reading and can say different readings each time. Better used for children above 4 months as seems to be more accurate and giving same reading.
Producing consistent temp measurements with about 0.1 deviation. I did 10 measurements from both ears and all of them about the same, ie 37.7-37.8 in my case. Very recommended, much better that cheaper models from the same manufacturer.
This is by far the best performing thermometer you can buy. It’s the same one they use in the hospitals. So easy to use. Way more accurate than our old one. Battery life is outstanding. We’ve used it for so long and haven’t changed the battery at all. Really easy to see if you’re checking your babies temp at night thanks to the backlight. No loud beeps or anything. Highly recommend
I got it because i had two others that didnt give me accurate temps for my baby. Its uasy to use and batteries last. Performs how you need it to. Accurate for peace of mind. Easy to use at night time when checking on little ones. Minimal noise beeps when taking temperature.
I bought this thermometer after discovering my old one wasn’t working properly after a trip to the GP with my daughter when she had croup a few weeks back. I thought her temp was fine with the readings on my old one but the GP said her temp was high and it was over 39. So after that, it was a no brainer that it needed replacing. But I wanted one that was going to be effective. This is on the pricey side admittedly, but this was the cheapest by far when comparing prices elsewhere. My daughter has had chickenpox this week and thank goodness for my new Braun thermometer. I took my daughter’s temperature with both thermometers at the same time and the difference was 2 degrees!! Easy to keep the ear piece clean with the replacement ear caps. It’s portable but a little on the larger side than most. Will definitely be buying this again in the future if or when it may be required! You can change the age range on the thermometer too. Which is a great addition. I have 2 girls. Both at different ages. It also changed colour as the temperatures increased. I would certainly recommend this to anyone, especially if you have children.
Please do not go for cheaper options as so many people have issues with readings being wrong and with babies/children a wrong reading could cause serious health problems.
So easy to use and accurate reading (same as Dr’s)
I’ve only needed to use this a couple of times, so it feels expensive for the limited use. However, when my child seemed unwell, I used it to check her temperature, and it quickly indicated she had a high fever. It can be a bit bothersome for her to have it in her ear, but she’ll have to tolerate it for accurate readings!
I love that this thermometer can tailor the temperature to age. As someone who works with newborns and know how difficult is is to take their temperature, this is perfect!
The accuracy is worth the price
Great to pay a little more for peace of mind and accuracy. Really neat and easy to transport. The speed at which it detects the temperature is amazing, especially with a fussy baby
I purchased the thermometer after use a much cheaper one for years. Big mistake. I had to call 111 after my wife had undergone a procedure. When they arrived the ambulance crew took my wife’s temperature and it read that was had a fever. My thermometer had under read by 1.5C!
My advice is if you feel that you need a digital thermometer in your home spend the money and buy a good one, this one is.
I love this thermometer. It has its age ranges for all different children to be more accurate. I have always trusted this, battery life is soo long. It comes with tye ear covers and a little handy case to put it away in.
I always trust this. From a mum and a childminder this is what you need in your household.
Worth paying out the extra money. This puts you at ease when testing little ones temperature I use this on my 2 month old and it reads very quickly which is good as he doesn’t particularly like it being done. This can be used for years to come and I’m sure will last this long
Does what it says on the tin, but with one annoying feature before every use you have to select the age of the person you are measuring. It doesn’t remember from the last use. So if like us you don’t have young children on the house it can be super annoying.
Other than that it does an excellent job.
I’ve been wanting to buy a thermometer for my baby since her birth. I settled on a forehead cheaper version. That was a waste of my money. Do buy this one once and for all. It’s a great quality and reliable one. Especially with little ones. Love it !
The thermometer is great, worth the extra money. I selected this after 40 minutes of research on various websites / reviews.
It reads the same in both ears, easy to use, solid, I like the three colour light to indicate the severity of temperatures. It also comes with a click-in case to protect the probe, and a pack of probe covers.
It’s reassuring to have a very reliable thermometer.
Once you get used to it the thermoscan is amazing, the colour changing screen is a great touch, I bought this for my visually impaired parents so they don’t need to worry about actually seeing the numbers.
I wish it would be a bit easier to use. It takes a bit time to get it set up to use. A little annoying especially when your little one is already crying and you just want to get it done. Seems to be quite accurate though. For adults perfect.
I opted for this thermometer due to its positive reviews and reputation among my friends. I purchased it to monitor my partner’s temperature during illness. The temperatures remained consistent throughout the day and regardless of the ear used, a crucial test for me. Unlike my previous thermometer(which were cheaper) with a 0.3 degrees difference, this one is more reliable at only 0.05. Easy to use with quick measurements, legible digits, and a useful backlight, though the plastic cap, while necessary, can be bothersome. It even came with premium Duracell batteries and a plastic storage case. highly recommend this product .
Spot on for the money accurate and very easy to use, as you would expect from Braun. I have seen the same model used in health centres. Just one tip don’t do what I kept doing in the beginning and forget to remove the protective cover hence no reading, you will do it a few times until you remember and it will remind you of my comment!.
In my opinion, this is the best and most accurate thermometer to have in the home!
I had one of these from when my baby was a newborn. He suffered with high temps a lot and we decided to replace it as we were going through so many of the covers.
Big mistake! We tried 3 other brands before coming back to this.
You get an accurate reading every time, it’s easy to use. Like that the holder has space to store the ear covers.
It’s pricey but it’s definitely worth it!
More expensive but worth it to get a more accurate reading. We use it often to check our baby’s temperature and it’s so much better than cheaper ones we purchased.
Incredibly easy to use. Turn on, select age range, pop it in the ear and press a button. The whole sequence probably takes 5 seconds and is so much simpler than using an under the armpit thermometer. They are slow and would often give out slightly different readings each time. Plus trying to hold a baby’s arm down when they are upset and ill, is difficult and will often upset them more.
They barely notice this is their ear and its quick and accurate. Best thing is you can use it for adults too. Comes with a pack of disposable tips as well, so if the baby has a bit of wax in their ear, you don’t have to clean the thermometer constantly.
Another useful feature is the memory function, which remembers the previous temperature taken. Great when you are trying to track whether your baby’s temperature is going up or down, especially because I always forget the exact reading a few hours later.
I find this Braun thermometer very accurate compared to older models I’ve used. It gives fast readings and is easy to use on myself or my child. When we had Covid, it was very good to see what’s going on. The color-coded temperature display makes it easy to see if a fever is present. Much better than the old one I had! Definitely recommended.
Had been using another brand for child from 0 to 3. I don’t think it was reliable. This is spot and pretty sure doctors recommend it.
Used in my workplace (GP Surgery) – really nice and working very well
I got used to having my ‘observations’ checked each day whilst in hospital with sepsis and decided to keep an eye on my temperature once I returned home. Helps when talking to doctors or emergency staff on the phone especially if you are suffering from a long-term condition or a heart related emergency. A few degrees can turn a fever into a life and death situation. Hygienic disposable sleeves are useful when dealing with more than one person. An essential part of every First Aid kit.
I have used a few different braun thermometers this one is excellent if you have a baby or 3 and under it’s worth paying more for the more accurate reading. Over 3 just get a normal adult one for cheaper.
I work in the medical industry and it’s exactly what we already use so I know it’s a trusted produc
Fine once you familiarise yourself with the settings procedure and very accurate
As a mum and a nurse I hate seeing my little one unwell, so to have an accurate easy to use thermometer was very important and this fits the bill.
Easy to use even for non medical persons, simple display and the age setting indicates if the temperature is okay.
Great digital thermometer. Iv bought 2 other models from other brands and both inaccurate. This machine is spot on. Also I am an adult and use it on me so it’s not just for kids.
Price is very reasonable too. Don’t hesitate to buy.
Just like the original the ones you can get from supermarkets just alot more reasonable price.
Very good quality product.
Works well and accurate.
Nice comfortable grip.
Good information & instructions.
I was in hospital for a bit using these that’s why I purchased one.
Would recommend
.
This thermometer is a life saver, easy and quick to use. Really helpful feature is logging temp check history. Child allows us to take temp with ease as it takes 2 seconds unlike uncomfortable armpit one. Accurate readings.
I had then old one which I’d had for 10 years so decided to replace this is great and the nightlight function is brill
Having a child that won’t sit still, this made life much easier when he wasn’t very well. Easy to use. Accurate and makes life easier.
This was the best baby product I could ask for and I think it’s brillia
Never knew this product existed had to keep thermometer in original cardboard box. Very neat and tidy way to keep the machine and the plastic hygiene tips. Feels well built and durable, exactly what is required to protect thermometer and keep it functioning well.
Bought for my son (and another for other son). These are so easy for worried parents you just have to get them.
It’s a good thermometer however it’s not alway accurate, therefore I take 3 or 4 readings back to back and then see if it returns the same value. It does miss by far though.
Very impressed with the quality of the thermometer. It’s very accurate. It’s exactly what I need.
Appears to give accurate readings. Nothing to compare it with though. Arrived quickly. Good price.
This product is really easy to use and gives reliable readings. The last thing you need is an unreliable thermometer and so far this one has been great for us!
Great purchase does exactly as it is made for at a great price.
This is the second one I’ve bought, bought one for us last year when our daughter was born and then recently bought another one for a friend who’s baby is due in a few months. Highly recommend for anyone with small children.
Really helpful when you have little ones. It’s so easy to use, that my little ones ask for it to check the fever, when they feel they have it. Highly recommend!!!
Annoying that you have to wait and load the age before using every single time. Otherwise it works well
Had a leading chemist one and dr said it was no good and to try brain , it works
We needed one for very long time. I have read many reviews before final decision was made and ended up buying this one that is more expensive but it works properly and hopefully it will last for few years. I would recommend it.
It’s 1 more for the normal temperature for UK . Like my old one shows 36 and this one shows 37
Bought this to replace my broken thermometer,very happy with the purchase,easy to use and really accurate, tested my boy ear temperature three times in a row,and all these three time value are exactly the same, really good.
The only downside is the price,a bit too expensive,but if can afford it,then this is the best one.
It’s easy to setup and use. My only gripe is as other have stated, you have to select the “Adult” setting each time as there’s no default memory.
A very useful measuring tool and would recommend it to anyone.
Ultimately, given the reason why we needed this machine, we had bought another thermometer just in case to double-check. So we hope we have taken enough measures to prevent any complications.
Regarding the ease of use of the device, it is quite easy to use. Unfortunately you do have to select Adult every time before using it, ideally if there was a flip switch that would be more much handy than having to hear a few additional beeps.
Inside the package, there’s about 10-20 caps for hygiene reasons for the tip of the thermometer. Kind of wish there was more, or for it to be compatible with a simple wipe to save the environment from further plastics. At least we have the other forehead thermometer ready.
Reading reviews, it was scary to see GPs say many of these and other similar devices were inaccurate. I hope this one isn’t.
It just so happened we needed one during this period, because our baby was sick and we were told we should try monitoring his temperatures. This had nothing to do with COVID, else we’d have just waited.
Thankfully I managed to get one at 38 directly from Amazon, and it does seem to be very good, generally. The accuracy is hard to gauge really. Perhaps it fluctuates slightly due to ear position etc, but I have noticed its readings do vary occasionally.
It has 3 temperature modes for: newborns, 3-36months and 36months+ – This is because temperatures can be more serious at these earlier points so the ‘allowable’ temperature tolerances are lower. It is helpful though that these are suitable from birth.
I chose this style over other thermometers because this is the type all the medical staff seemed to use in the maternity wards. The tip is pre-warmed to try and make it less of a shock when taking your child’s temps, however I still find our son hates having it done, and wriggles everywhere!
It also has a memory feature, which tells you the last 9 stored temperatures. It’s easy to use, though I would like the thermometer to remember/store the last age range entered. It’s a faff having to add same age every time I want to use it.
The case is nice and protects the vulnerable probe side of the device. It also comes with a small box of tips. These are single-use (not ideal) disposable tips that keep the unit hygienic. You get around 20 of these with the unit. You can buy refills via Amazon (I bought the official Braun ones, but there are cheaper imitations if looking to save money). The case allows you to store a box or two of these tips within itself.
The reading only takes around 2 seconds once in the ear and button pressed, which is impressive, especially when trying to take temps of an irate baby! If temperatures are in the normal range for the selected age group, the temperature will be returned with a green backlight. If it is elevated for the age range it’ll be amber, and it’d be advisable to monitor closely any changes. If it is too high, it’ll show a red backlight. I believe if this happens you should speak to a GP about it (especially if children).
This is worth the price in my opinion. There are cheaper alternatives, but I feel that if the Doctor’s, Midwives and Nurses are using them all over the NHS then they must be the better option.
