ASTM E1965-98 is a specification for infrared thermometers which it defines as “electronic instruments intended for the intermittent measurement and monitoring of patient temperatures by means of detecting the intensity of thermal radiation between the subject of measurement and the sensor.” Tympanic thermometers that meet this specification accurately measure a person’s internal body temperature by measuring the thermal emission from the ear canal.
