Device for carrying out measurements in ear, e.g. for measuring temperature

摘要

The device has a measurement tip for insertion into the ear, a display unit for the measurement values and a device to determine the alignment of the measuring tip in the auditory canal. This may include a beam source for irradiating the measurement point with infrared radiation, a detector for detecting radiation scattered by the point and an analyzer connected to the detector for determining the tip alignment. The alignment may also be displayed on the display unit.
