It was often a troublesome thing to measure the body
temperature of children. It took 10~15 minutes in old one.
Thanks to the advance of microelectronics. Now it take
few minutes.
This is a Ear thermometer(OMRON). To measure the body temperature, just inserting the ear canal.
This device can measure the temperature of tympanic
membrane, using the refraction of infra-red beam.
But not for suitable in child, since the ear canal of children
is narrow and often difficult in infants.
