Highlights

A uGrow connected product

The Philips Avent smart ear thermometer
connects with our uGrow app. The world's first
medical baby app with connected devices
giving you personal advice that matters. Let
uGrow help you discover patterns to support
your little one's healthy development.

Track and record

The Philips Avent smart ear thermometer
quickly and accurately takes temperature
readings and establishes a body temperature
history in the uGrow app to easily share with
your doctor.

Fast

Keeping your child still long enough to take an
accurate reading can be difficult. The Philips
Avent smart ear thermometer addresses this
problem by being specially designed for speed
and ease. Just one press of the button and you
will have a reading in 2 seconds.

Accurate

Body temperature can be measured in five
locations: the mouth, the ear, the armpit, the
forehead. Our research has shown that this ear
thermometer offers a medical grade
measurement with ± 0.2 °C or ± 0.4 °F accuracy
within the range of 32.4°C - 42.9°C (90.3°F -

109.2°F). Reflects body core temperature.*

High temperature indication

The Philips Avent smart ear thermometer has a
clear LCD display so you can instantly see if
the temperature reading is at normal* or raised
levels. The light ring turns red for a temperature
of 38.0°C (100.4°F) and higher*. As with all
cases of fever, it is important not to rely solely
on the temperature measurement of the
thermometer, and to always seek professional
medical advice without delay in the event of
concerns regarding a fever or measurement.

Comfortable and easy to use

The Philips Avent smart ear thermometer takes
your baby's temperature in a few simple and
quick steps. Firstly, ensure the sensor is clean
and dry. Then press the power button and
gently pull your baby's ear backwards so the

ear canal is straight. Insert the thermometer
pointing the tip towards the ear drum and press
the button agai n. Compact and streamlined,
the thermometer has a probe tip that is suitable
for all ages.

Celcius and Fahrenheit

No matter whether you work in Celsi us or
Fahrenheit, the Philips Avent smart ear
thermometer will give you the results you need
in the scale you understand.
