The Braun Thermoscan 7 is Braun's popular in-ear digital thermometer. It has a pre-warmed tip so that the probe doesn't cool the ear canal which, according to Braun, could affect the reading. It also has a feature Braun calls 'Age Precision technology' that provides guidance on what temperature is feverish depending on the age of the person.
