Some may ask how accurate are Tympanic Ear Thermometer? And the answer is very accurate! The Genius 2 Tympanic Thermometer measures the human body's core body temperature through an infrared light in a matter of one to two seconds. The Core Body temperature is the measurement of a reflection of the body's true organs such as: the Brain, Liver and Heart. The Genius 2 Thermometer complies with ASTM and CEN world standards and meets United States Federal Regulations. The Genius 2 Thermometer has set a new health care industry standard in measuring body temperatures with its new advanced smart tympanic membrane technology. This new technology obtains an accurate, non-invasive temperature reading from the smart tympanic membrane, which shares the same blood flow as the hypothalamus, the body's internal thermostat. The Covidien (Kendall) Genius 2 Thermometer, has a smaller tapered probe for increased durability and patient comfort, and also allows for easy alignment with the ear canal, minimizing technique errors. Records and analyzes up to 100 temperature measurements, and selects the most accurate reading in less than 2 seconds. -Recessed lens enhances accuracy and repeatability. -Holds 50 percent more probes than previous model and are ASTM and CEN compliant. Battery Life: Three AAA alkaline batteries last for 15,000 scans.

How do infrared tympanic thermometers work?
Infrared thermometers detect the heat waves that all objects naturally generate. The stronger the waves, the warmer the temperature of the object. Infrared thermometers work like cameras, taking a "picture" of the heat generated by the eardrum and surrounding tissue. And since heat waves travel at the speed of light, temperature can be read in just one second
