How the Ear Thermometer Measures Ear Temperature
The Ear Thermometer TH 1DB1-1 measures infrared energy radiated from the eardrum and the surround-
ing tissue. This energy is collected through the lens and converted to a temperature value. The mea-
sured reading obtained directly from the eardrum (Tympanic Membrane) can ensure the most accurate
ear temperature. Measurements taken from the surrounding tissue of the ear canal generate lower read-
ings and may result in misdiagnosis of a fever.
