The Braun ThermoScan Ear Thermometer features a multiple memory function, allowing to you monitor the progress of a fever, which can be important when communicating with a doctor. The thermometer also comes with disposable lens filters, which reduce the transmission of germs. The lens filters should be changed after each use.

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that any child younger than 3 months who has a fever should see a pediatrician. An ear reading of 100.4 degrees F or higher is generally considered a fever. For adults, the WHO recommends that a person should seek medical care if a fever continues more than three days.
