The measuring sensor records infrared radiation from the eardrum or the forehead. It provides the measurement result within one second for ear measurements and the highest measurement value detected at the end of the examination for forehead measurements.
Measurements in the ear:
The measurement can be taken in the right or left ear. The thermometer measures the infrared rays emitted by the eardrum and ear canal. These rays are captured by the sensor and converted into temperature values. The most accurate values are obtained when infrared rays are captured from the middle ear (eardrum). The rays emitted by the surrounding tissues yield smaller values.
Measurements on the forehead.
The thermometer measures infrared radiation emitted by the skin of the forehead and temples, as well as the surrounding tissues. The radiation is captured by the sensors and converted into temperature values. More accurate readings will be obtained if the entire area between the temples is scanned.
