The new Braun No touch + Forehead thermometer gives you the convenience you had been waiting for. It is the first ever thermometer with the convenience of two clinically proven options to take a temperature, completely non invasive no touch, or the traditional forehead touch. It offers the same professional accuracy in either mode and is proven clinically accurate for all ages. Looking to take a temperature on a sleeping child? Then the Braun No Touch + Forehead thermometer is the thermometer for you. Get professionally accurate readings by holding the thermometer 2 inches (5 cm) away from the forehead, taking a non invasive reading without waking your child in the night. The backlit, color coded display will let you know in a glance if the fever temperature is getting better or worse. There is even a setting that allows you to mute the sounds, ensuring that your little ones will not be awoken by a single beep. Includes protective cap and 2 AAA batteries.
