Braun ThermoScan 7 IRT6520 Ear Thermometer

The Braun ThermoScan 7 IRT6520 Ear Thermometer is clinically validated and provides fast infrared temperature measurement with age-adjusted, colour-coded fever guidance for home and personal use.

Described by Braun as the “#1 brand among doctors”¹, the ThermoScan 7 combines Age Precision® technology, an ExacTemp® stability indicator and a pre-warmed tip to support reliable temperature measurement at home.

Braun’s Age Precision® technology allows the user to select one of three age ranges: 0–3 months, 3–36 months or over 36 months. The thermometer then applies age-adjusted colour coding to help interpret the displayed temperature.

The ExacTemp® stability indicator uses a light and audible signal to confirm that the thermometer is positioned steadily in the ear. Its pre-warmed tip is designed to minimise the cooling effect that can occur when a room-temperature probe is introduced into the ear.

A backlit display supports use in reduced lighting, while the memory function stores the previous nine temperature readings. The thermometer is supplied ready to use with 21 disposable Braun Hygiene Caps, two AA batteries and a protective storage cradle.

Important: Braun states that this thermometer is intended for home use only and is not intended for clinical use in a professional environment. It is not intended to interpret hypothermic temperatures.

Braun ThermoScan 7 IRT6520 FAQs

• Can the Braun ThermoScan 7 be used for babies?
  Yes. Braun states that the thermometer is suitable from birth. Its Age Precision® function includes a setting for babies aged 0–3 months. Always seek appropriate medical advice if you are concerned about a baby’s temperature or condition.
• What does the colour-coded display mean?
  The thermometer adjusts its colour-coded fever guidance according to the selected age range. Green indicates no fever, yellow indicates fever and red indicates high fever according to the device’s age-adjusted guidance. This feature is an interpretation aid and does not provide a diagnosis.
• Does the thermometer store previous readings?
  Yes. The Braun ThermoScan 7 stores the previous nine temperature readings, allowing recent measurements to be reviewed.
• Should a new Hygiene Cap be used for every measurement?
  Braun recommends fitting a new disposable Hygiene Cap for each measurement. This supports hygienic use and helps prevent dirt or earwax from obstructing the sensor.
• Is the Braun ThermoScan 7 suitable for professional clinical use?
