Welch Allyn Braun ThermoScan PRO 6000 Ear Thermometer

The Welch Allyn Braun ThermoScan PRO 6000 relies on innovative PerfecTemp Technology to ensure its clinical accuracy and reliability.

This technology is designed specifically to overcome one of the biggest challenges in tympanic temperature measurement: variability in probe placement.

• Compensation for Placement: PerfecTemp automatically adjusts and compensates for factors related to slight variations in probe positioning during measurement.
• Reliable Core Temperature: By correcting for these variables, it minimizes the risk of artificially low readings and ensures the final result accurately reflects the patient’s core body temperature.

Combined with a rapid 2 to 3-second measurement time, this feature helps the device achieve a laboratory accuracy of +/- 0.4 °F (+/- 0.2 °C) across the critical clinical temperature range of 95 °F to 107.6 °F (35 °C to 42 °C).
