The measurement sensor records the infrared radiation coming from the eardrum or the forehead surface. Thus, it gives the measurement result in one second in the case of the ear measurement and the highest measured value detected at the end of the scan in the case of the forehead measurement.
Measurements in the ear:
The measurement can be performed on the right or left ear. The thermometer measures the infrared rays emitted by the eardrum and the ear canal. These rays are captured by the sensor and converted into temperature values. The most accurate values are obtained by capturing infrared rays from the middle ear (eardrum). Rays emitted by adjacent tissues yield smaller values.
Measurements on the forehead.
The thermometer measures the infrared radiation emitted by the skin of the forehead and temple area, and by the adjacent tissues. The radiation is captured by the sensors and converted into temperature values. More accurate values will be obtained if the entire area between the temples is scanned.
