Intended use
The product is intended for measuring the
temperature of the human body via the ear canal
by an infrared sensor. The device is intended for all
ages in a home environment.
General
This Philips Avent uGrow smart ear thermometer
has been developed for accurate and fast human
body temperature measurements in the ear in the
adjusted mode.
Research indicates that the ear is an ideal site for
taking the body temperature. The body core
temperature is regulated by the hypothalamus
(Fig. 2). The hypothalamus (1) shares the same
blood supply as the tympanic membrane (2).
Measurement results can be transmitted via
Bluetooth® to the Philips Avent uGrow app for
charting and tracking purposes.
