Particularities
OMRON is introducing the Gentle Temp 521 ear thermometer. It uses a highly
accurate technology and includes some of its advanced features, including one-
second measurement, selectable centigrade/Fahrenheit readings and a memory for
up to 25 readings. It also comes with 21 probe covers. OMRON recommends
changing the covers each time to ensure good hygiene and the most accurate
measurements. To assist with readings in the dark (on a ward or in a child’s room at
night) the device also has backlight function. The 3 in 1 function enables various
types of measurement, ear, surface and room temperature.
The Gentle Temp 521 is a supplement to our current EFT portfolio.

How it works
The digital ear thermometer Omron Gentle Temp 521 measures the infrared heat
given off by the eardrum and surrounding tissues, and converts this heat into an
equivalent ear temperature. For surface and room temperature the device measures
the infrared heat given off by the air or surface.
Efficiency of the medical product
Efficient measurement of the body temperature is one of the most important element
of disease control. The device allows the care giver to easily and accurately
measure the patient’s body temperature. The infrared method is used for detecting
the temperature.
