The eardrum closely reflects the body’s core temperature due to its proximity to the thermoregulatory center, and the iHealth PT5 leverages this with hyper-accurate sensor technology and a pre-warmed probe tip to deliver precise, consistent readings. Designed with optimized ergonomics for comfort and speed, it measures temperature from the eardrum in just one second with a simple press after gently placing the tip in the ear canal with a clean probe cover. The large LED-lit display ensures easy readability even in the dark, while the disposable probe covers allow for hygienic testing among family members. For added convenience, the PT5 includes a protective travel case, 20 disposable probe covers, and a magnetic probe cap to protect the infrared lens from dust and debris.
