Braun E1697.32 – Precision Clinical Ear Thermometer | ThermoScan Series
Engineering Background
The Braun ThermoScan series has been the benchmark for infrared ear thermometry in clinical and home-care environments for over two decades. Developed in collaboration with medical professionals, the E1697.32 incorporates pre-warmed tip technology and ExacTemp® positioning guidance to eliminate the most common sources of measurement error in ear-based thermometry.
Product Positioning
The E1697.32 is positioned as a professional-grade consumer thermometer suitable for procurement by medical facilities, pharmacies, corporate wellness programs, and institutional buyers requiring reliable, repeatable temperature measurement across diverse patient demographics — from neonates to elderly adults.

Engineering Advantages
- Pre-Warmed Tip Technology – Probe tip pre-heated to body temperature to prevent cooling effect errors, a key differentiator vs. unbranded IR thermometers
- ExacTemp® Positioning System – Optical and acoustic guidance confirms correct probe placement before measurement is taken, reducing operator-dependent variability
- Age-Adjusted Fever Guidance – Color-coded display (green / amber / red) with age-specific fever thresholds (0–3 months, 3–36 months, 36 months+)
- Hygienic Lens Filter System – Disposable LF40 probe covers prevent cross-contamination between patients; compatible with standard Braun filter stock
- Clinically Validated Accuracy – Validated against rectal gold-standard in peer-reviewed clinical studies; meets ISO 80601-2-56 performance requirements
- Ergonomic One-Hand Operation – Single-button activation with audible confirmation; suitable for use by non-clinical staff
System Architecture & Signal Flow
The E1697.32 operates on a passive infrared detection principle. The measurement sequence is as follows:
- Probe Insertion – Disposable lens filter seated; probe inserted into ear canal to seal the acoustic meatus
- ExacTemp® Verification – Internal sensor array confirms probe angle and seal quality; green LED + tone confirms readiness
- IR Acquisition – Thermopile sensor array captures tympanic membrane IR emission over a ≈1-second integration window
- Signal Processing – Onboard ASIC applies ambient temperature compensation and emissivity correction algorithms
- Age-Mode Correction – Firmware applies age-group offset table based on user-selected mode (infant / child / adult)
- Display & Alert – Corrected temperature displayed on backlit LCD; color fever alert and audible beep sequence triggered per threshold table

Technical FAQ
Q: Is the E1697.32 suitable for neonatal use?
A: Yes. The ThermoScan series is clinically validated for use from birth. Select the 0–3 month age mode for appropriate fever threshold guidance.
Q: What probe covers are compatible?
A: Braun LF40 (40-pack) and LF20 (20-pack) disposable lens filters are the only recommended covers. Third-party covers may compromise accuracy and void warranty.
Q: Can the unit be calibrated in the field?
A: The E1697.32 is factory-calibrated and not user-serviceable. Recalibration must be performed by an authorized Braun service center. Contact us for service referral.
Q: What is the minimum order quantity for institutional procurement?
A: No minimum order quantity for standard stock. Volume pricing tiers apply at 10, 50, and 100+ units. Contact us for a formal quotation.
Q: Are CE and FDA compliance documents available?
A: Yes. Full compliance documentation package (CE Declaration of Conformity, FDA 510(k) summary, ISO certificate) is available upon request for institutional buyers.
Q: How do I verify authenticity of my unit?
A: Each genuine Braun unit carries a holographic authenticity seal on the outer carton and a unique batch code traceable via Braun’s official verification portal. We provide batch documentation with every shipment.
