Product Information

The Braun Age Precision PRT 2000 is designed to be reliable and accurate, providing peace of mind to users. It utilizes a technology that minimizes the risk of user error, ensuring consistent and precise temperature readings. Additionally, the thermometer is suitable for oral, underarm, and rectal use. Place the probe tip under the arm so the tip is touching the skin and position the patient's arm next to the patient's body (Fig. 1). While it takes about a minute for the correct room temperature to be displayed, parent tester, Laura, has found it hugely reassuring, particularly during the warmer months. She says, "I’ve found the Groegg2 to be both accurate and consistent when measuring it against the readings of my home’s Hive thermostat system. While there’s usually a difference of 0.2 degrees between the two readings, the results are close enough for me to feel reassured of the Groegg2's accuracy. I used it daily during a heatwave when my daughter was a newborn." The adorable dog, frog or monkey design is small and light enough to pop in your handbag or changing bag for any occasion and will also provide young children with a familiar face they’ll be happy to open their mouths for when they’re feeling a bit warm. However, unlike the Braun Digital Thermometer with Age Precision, there are no age settings or coloured-coded lights to help you to interpret the reading. So you’re only really paying the extra money for aesthetics rather than special functional features.

The colour coded display will help you understand and interpret the results and act accordingly - green (normal temperature), yellow (elevated temperature) and red (high temperature). This thermometer is specifi ed to operate at 1 atmospheric pressure or at altitudes with an atmospheric pressure up to 1 atmospheric pressure (760-1060 hPa). It couldn't be easier. Simply select your child's age and the colour coded display will help you understand the temperature reading based on the age of your child. A digital thermometer is best for babies. The NHS advises that old mercury thermometers are not suitable for babies and that digital versions are more accurate. The Age Precision™ feature is not intended for pre-term babies or small-for-gestational age babies.Please consult your physician if the thermometer shows elevated temperature. High, prolonged fever requires medical attention, especially for young children. The colour coded display will help you understand and interpret the results and act accordingly – green (normal temperature), yellow (elevated temperature) and red (high temperature). If the thermometer doesn't measure a temperature rise, the age icon and three dashed lines will be shown until the thermometer automatically turns off. As a parent, you know how important it is to have information you can trust. Here, you’ll find helpful resources to assist you in body temperature monitoring for your child from the No. 1 brand recommended by doctors and pediatricians.*

While taking care of a poorly baby can be stressful, this baby thermometer is hugely helpful, not only as a reliable aid that gives me a temperature reading in just three seconds, but as an indicator of when I should take action when my baby has a fever. Clinical research shows that the definition of fever changes as newborns grow into little children, and little children grow into adults¹. What constitutes a fever in a newborn can be a normal temperature in a four-year-old. With Age Precision® , you can take and interpret the temperature of a child or any family member in three simple steps: Type: Water thermometer | Age settings: N/A | Memory: N/A | Celsius and Fahrenheit: Celsius only | Batteries: ‎One CR2 battery required (included) What we like Simply pop it in the bath and tap it to activate the digital LCD display. It will then show the temperature for an hour before it switches off again. If the water is too hot, a red light will flash, so you can add a bit of cold water until you see the temperature fall on the readout.Parents/guardians should call the physician upon noticing any untoward sign(s) or symptom(s). For example, a child who exhibits irritability, vomiting, diarrhea, dehydration, changes in appetite or activity, even in the absence of fever, or who exhibits a low temperature, may still need to receive medical attention. Children who are on antibiotics, analgesics, or antipyretics should not be assessed solely on temperature readings to determine the severity of their illness. Doctors know this, but many parents may not. To help you interpret your baby or child’s temperature more confidently based on their age, Braun has developed the unique Age Precision® technology. Taking temperature with Age Precision® is easy It’s also useful for times like teething to be able to tell if they’re just flushed and grumpy or are actually running a temperature.
