Intended purpose
A measuring device for determining the patient's body temperature. It is used to measure the patient's ear canal temperature. In most cases it is designed to estimate the internal (core) temperature of the body by measurement of infrared radiation from within the auditory canal. It may be claimed to measure directly the infrared emissions from the tympanic membrane. An infrared ear thermometer usually displays corrected offset values of oral/rectal temperatures.
