ABOUT THE INSTANT EAR THERMOMETER
The Instant Ear Thermometer model MC-510 measures
the temperature of the eardrum by infrared sensor.
As ambient temperature, sweat,
or saliva easily affects the body
temperature measured under
the arm or the tongue, the
measurement value indicated is
lower than the inner body
temperature.
On the other hand, the tympanic
temperature reflects the brain
temperature, and can help in the
quick detection of fever.

of all family members as a reference for future use.
