ABSTRACT:
An ear thermometer includes a main body having a side provided with a sensing head, and a disposable ear cap removably mounted on the sensing head of the main body and having a periphery provided with a pull tab having a root portion formed with a breakable slit connected to the periphery of the ear cap. Thus, the ear cap is broken from the breakable slit of the pull tab, so that the ear cap is broken completely and cannot be reused by a person intentionally, thereby assuring the safe use of the ear cap without incurring a sanitary problem.
