Yes all the Braun ear thermometers are great when it comes to taking a child's temperature. It is unrealistic to try to take an oral temp when a toddler is feverish.
The problem lies with the disposable covers "lens filters". They are cone shaped: 25mm deep, with a 27mm diameter. Unfortunately somewhat collapsible. Inhaled it would fit neatly into a trachea or mainstem bronchus.
So the real potential exists that a misplaced cover may be inhaled by a child. Thus blocking the airway. Leading to acute respiratory arrest.
I feel compelled to offer a safer alternative. There are Temporal Scanners which obtain the temperature by gently caressing across the forehead. No covers no danger.Get more detail about Braun Thermoscan Ear Thermometer IRT3020 Infared 3020.
