Braun ThermoScan PRO 6000 Ear Thermometer

Name: Braun ThermoScan PRO 6000 Ear Thermometer
Brand: Braun ThermoScan

The ThermoScan PRO 6000 is a professional infrared tympanic thermometer for patients of all ages. It reads the infrared energy from the eardrum and nearby surfaces through a disposable probe cover, using a heated tip and ambient correction, and gives a result in 2 to 3 seconds. Its main change from the PRO 4000 is a technique compensation feature that uses three capacitive rings to check probe placement.
