5.3 PerfecTemp™ Sensor System

Speed and ease of access are two key advantages of ear

thermometry. Concerns regarding accuracy and reliability

have hindered adoption of this technology. In clinical studies,

the precision of ear temperature measurement has been shown

to be inﬂuenced by ear canal anatomy and variability in user

technique. Proper probe placement can also be a challenge,

particularly with young patients that move around during

measurement. Shallow probe placement, coupled with anatomical

variabilities such as ear canals with a small circumference and poor

visibility of the tympanic membrane, can result in readings that are

low compared to core temperature because the thermometer could

be focused on the cooler outer ear canal.

The Braun Thermoscan

PRO 6000 Ear thermometer incorporates a new proprietary sensor

system, PerfecTemp™, that overcomes the challenges presented by ear canal anatomy and

variations in technique among clinicians. The thermometer collects information about the

direction and depth of ear probe placement as it is placed into the ear canal and automatically

incorporates this information into the temperature calculation. Incorporating information

related to patient speciﬁc anatomy and exact ear probe placement in the ear canal increases

the accuracy of the measurement as compared to core temperature, especially when probe

positioning is not ideal.

5.4 ExacTemp™ technology

The Braun Thermoscan

PRO 6000 Ear thermometer also features ExacTemp™ technology

which supports temperature measurement reliability by detecting the stability of the probe

placement during the measurement. The ExacTemp light ﬂashes during the measuring

process and remains illuminated when the measurement is complete, indicating consistent

placement of the probe during the measurement process. Consistent probe placement helps

support accurate temperature measurement.

5.5 Why measure in the ear?

Clinical studies have shown that the ear is an excellent site for

temperature measurement because temperatures taken in the ear

reﬂect the body’s core temperature

. Body temperature is regulated

by the hypothalamus

, which shares the same blood supply as

the tympanic membrane

. Changes in core body temperature are

usually seen sooner at the tympanic membrane than at other sites,

such as the rectum, mouth or under the arm. Advantages of taking

temperatures at the ear versus traditional sites:

• Axillary temperature measurements reﬂect skin temperature

which may not reliably indicate the internal body temperature.

• Rectal temperatures often lag signiﬁcantly behind internal body temperature changes,

especially at times of rapidly changing temperatures. Also, there is a risk of cross

contamination.

• Oral temperatures are often inﬂuenced by eating, drinking, thermometer placement,

breathing through the mouth, or the inability of the person to close their mouth completely.
