The Braun ThermoScan thermometer has been carefully developed for accurate, safe and fast human body temperature measurements in the ear. The shape of

the thermometer prevents it from being inserted too far into the ear canal to damage the eardrum.

However, as with any thermometer, proper technique is critical to obtaining accurate temperatures. Therefore, please read all instructions carefully and thoroughly before using this product and keep the manual handy for future reference.

Important

•The operating ambient temperature range for this thermometer is 50 °F to 104 °F (10 °C to 40 °C).

•Do not expose the thermometer to temperature extremes below - 4 °F or over 122 °F ( - 20 / 50 °C) or excessive humidity ( > 95 % RH non-condensing).

•This thermometer must only be used with genuine Braun ThermoScan Lens Filters (LF 40). Never use this thermometer without a new, clean lens filter attached.

•If the thermometer is ever accidentally used without a lens filter attached, clean the lens (see «Care and cleaning»).

•Always store thermometer in travel case, protective cover or plastic case.

•Basic safety precautions should always be observed, especially when using the thermometer on or near children and disabled persons.

•Keep lens filters out of reach of children.

•This thermometer is intended for home use only.

•Use of this thermometer is not intended as a substitute for consultation with your physician.

•Do not leave thermometer or lens filters with infants or children at any time.

How does Braun ThermoScan work?

The Braun ThermoScan thermometer measures the infrared heat generated by the eardrum and surrounding tissue. To help ensure accuracy, the thermometer «scans» by taking 8 measurements in just one second and displaying the highest temperature.

The displayed ThermoScan temperature is the actual measured

ear canal temperature plus a mathematical adjustment to approximate the familiar oral range. However, this is not necessarily the same as an oral temperature measured at the same time.

Why measure in the ear?

The goal of thermometry is to measure core body temperature, which is the temperature of the vital organs. Clinical studies have shown that the ear is an excellent site to measure body temperature, since ear temperatures reflect core body temperature. The eardrum shares blood supply with the temperature control center in the brain, the hypothalamus, allowing changes in body temperature to be reflected sooner in the ear than at other sites.

•Axillary temperatures reflect skin temperature which may not indicate core body temperature.

•Oral temperatures are influenced by drinking, eating and breathing through the mouth.

•Rectal temperatures often lag behind changes in core body temperature and there is a risk of cross-contamination.

Body temperature

Normal body temperature is a range. The following table1 shows that ranges of normal also vary by site. Therefore, readings from different sites, even if taken at the same time, should not be directly compared.

•Also, a person’s normal temperature range tends to decrease with age. The following table shows normal ThermoScan ranges by age.

Normal ThermoScan temperature ranges2

•However, the range of normal also varies from person to person and fluctuates throughout the day. It is therefore important to determine your and your family members’ normal temperature ranges. This is easily done using Braun ThermoScan. Practice taking temperatures on yourself and healthy family members to determine their normal temperature ranges.

Note: When consulting your physician, communicate that the ThermoScan temperature is a temperature measured in the ear and if possible, note the individual’s normal ThermoScan temperature range as additional reference.
