Braun ThermoScan Lens Filters for Ear Thermometer, Disposable Covers LF40US01 (40 Count)

Weve had a Braun ThermoScancan thermometer for several years now. For a while, we kept reusing the filters, but one day realized the readings seemed inaccurate. My son clearly had a fever, but the thermometer was saying his temperature was 97 degrees. We went out and purchased new filters, tried again, and got a reading of 101. You cant simply wipe off the filters and get a good reading, it really needs to be a new filter. I know there are generic brands available out there, but if we feel like we need to know our temperatures, we want accuracy. Im only comfortable using filters designed to work exclusively with the thermometer we have. These little things give me peace of mind.

As expected

I like to keep an extra pack of these on hand. With the recent COVID surge, it was hard to find these locally. I feel better buying a brand I know, especially when I want to make sure I’m get an accurate temperature reading.

I purchased these for use with a Braun Thermoscan 7 thermometer. They fit but they feel somewhat flimsier than the older covers. I also frequently get an insert cover warning even after applying a cover onto the thermometer. I’ve experienced similar issues in the past with cheap generic covers, but never with genuine Braun covers. It works if I fidget with the cover until it’s detected, but I shouldn’t have to do that with genuine Braun covers. I don’t know what changed, but it wasn’t for the better.

Good product

I have several thermometers that we have tried and given up on. Then there are those we still use. Most of them we have to fight with our toddler to take his temperature. The Braun ThermoScan, solved that problem in the first 10 minutes of use. It have proven to be fast, accurate and consistently reliable everytime. What is even more amazing, is he sits and tilts his head for me to take his temperature. The large display is also perfect as my toddler love to take a look after I take his temp so its fun for both of us. It is very simple to use, simply power on, and scan. Within 4 seconds you have your results. This gets you answers before the little one starts getting irritated and that for me is the best part. A definate must have for every home whether you have kids or not

Our Braun thermometer will not function unless a cover is on the tip. These attach easily and are comfortable to use in the ear. I feel they are kinda pricey, especially since they are meant for single use. We went through a phase of constantly checking temperatures due to pandemic induced anxiety so a 40 pack doesnt seem to last long if each tip is tossed in the trash after being used. Personally, I have reused the tips if its being used on the same person. However, they do seem to give an inaccurate reading if the tip is reused more than a few times. If they were cheaper, I probably wouldnt do this, so I guess that would be my only complaint is the cost.

I like these covers. Good amount for price.

Nice

Save yourself time and money, dont try to buy off brand tips, they wont work. They will not clip properly into the thermometer, and it will not read right if it reads at all. Just spend the extra few bucks and get this item from the actual manufacturer.
