"With the click of a button, the Braun ThermoScan PRO 4000 offers clinicians the most advanced technology available," said Whitney Bouma, Welch Allyn senior product manager. "It's lightweight and comfortable to hold, which is essential for taking temperatures on young patients."

One of the fastest thermometers ever developed for infant to adult patients, the Braun ThermoScan PRO 4000 is an affordable electronic vital signs device that can withstand the constant use in a medical practice or hospital setting. The lightweight unit features a prominent memory button to recall the last temperature reading from a patient. There is a convenient storage space for 20 probe covers with an optional base station that holds an additional sleeve of 200 probe covers.
