Why Braun No touch + touch thermometer?
Measurement in under 2 seconds
The innovative infrared technology allows measurement of
touch temperature in under 2 seconds whether you use
the touch or no-touch option.
Accurate and reliable
Due to the unique patented technology, the No touch + touch thermometer
captures the heat naturally given off by the forehead to calculate body
temperature value. Get the same professional accuracy whether touching your
child's forehead or holding up to 5 cm away.
Easy to use
The No touch + touch thermometer is non-invasive. A measurement can be
taken even while a child is sleeping.
The No touch + touch 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. Completely safe for use
on children and adults.
How does Braun No touch + touch work?
The No touch + touch 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 thermometer ) is collected through the lens and converted to a body
1
temperature value.
The No touch + touch thermometer has been clinically tested and proven to be safe and
accurate when used in accordance with its operating instruction manual.
A traditional forehead product without any optical system to capture radiated heat.
