The accuracy and color-coded display genuinely reduce middle-of-the-night panic, and there's a reason pediatricians trust this brand, but the price stings and you'll need to keep buying disposable lens filters. Perfect for anxious first-time parents who want hospital-grade reliability; skip if you're on a tight budget or want a no-ongoing-cost option.
⚠️The disposable lens filters are essential for accuracy and hygiene—they're not optional, so factor in the ongoing cost of replacements (around £5-8 for a pack of 40).

#1 Brand among doctors(1)
Braun ThermoScan 7 Ear thermometer is clinically validated and provides accuracy you can trust so you can manage your health at home, with confidence
Age Precision Technology
The definition of fever changes with age(2) as a child grows from newborn to toddler; Our proprietary algorithm helps you understand the results by adjusting colour coding based on the age of your child - green indicates no fever, yellow indicates when a fever is present, and red indicates a high fever
Accuracy You Can Trust
Clinically proven to be as accurate as rectal measurement in newborns(3)
Exactemp Stability Indicator
Accuracy made easy thanks to the user-friendly technology that uses a light and a beep to confirm a stable position and help ensure an accurate reading
Reliable Results
The ear is the best site to measure fever as it allows for more accurate reflection of core body temperature(4); Our thermometer is engineered with a pre-warmed tip (34°C) that is close to your own body temperature, minimising the cooling effect that can occur, and ensuring accurate results every time
Ready To Use
Comes equipped with 2 AA batteries plus a protective cradle for safe storage; To ensure device accuracy and keep the lens clean and free from obstructions, 21 Braun Hygiene Caps are included, making it safe, effective, and ready to use on the entire family
