Why Braun No touch + forehead thermometer?
The No touch + forehead 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
1 ) is collected through the lens and converted
to a body temperature value.
1 A traditional forehead product without any optical system to capture radiated heat.
