The Braun ThermoScan Thermometer has been

carefully developed for accurate, safe and fast

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, read the use

instructions carefully and thoroughly.

Important

• The operating ambient temperature range for this

thermometer is 10 – 40 °C (50 – 104 °F).

• Do not expose the thermometer to temperature

extremes (below –20 °C / 4 °F or over 50 °C /

122 °F) nor excessive humidity (> 95 % RH).

• 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.

• Keep lens filters out of reach of children.

• This thermometer is intended for household use

only.

• Use of this thermometer is not intended as a

substitute for consultation with your physician.

How does Braun ThermoScan work?

Braun ThermoScan measures the infrared heat

generated by the eardrum and sorrounding tissue.

To help ensure accuracy, the thermometer «scans»

by taking 8 measurements in just one second and

displaying the highest temperature.

Why measure in the ear?

The goal of thermometry is to measure core body

temperature which is the temperature of the vital

organs. Ear temperatures accurately reflect core

body temperature, since the eardrum shares blood

supply with the temperature control center in the

brain, the hypothalamus. Therefore, changes in body

temperature are reflected sooner and more accura-

tely in the ear than at other sites.

• Axillary temperatures only measure skin

temperature and therefore, are not a reliable

indicator of core body temperature.

English

6012137_neu Seite 4 Freitag, 27. Mai 2005 12:58 12

• Oral temperatures are influenced by drinking,

eating and breathing.

• Rectal temperatures lag behind changes in core

body temperature and there is a risk of cross-

contamination.

Body temperature

• Normal body temperature is a range. The fol-

lowing table shows that this normal range also

varies by site. Therefore, readings from different

sites should not be directly compared.

• As well, a person’s normal temperature range

tends to decrease with age. The following table

shows normal ThermoScan ranges by age.

• 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 member’s normal temperature

ranges. This is easily done using Braun

ThermoScan. Practise 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 indi-

vidual’s normal ThermoScan temperature range as

additional reference.

Normal ranges by site:

Axillary: 34.7 – 37.3 °C 94.5 – 99.1 °F

Oral: 35.5 – 37.5 °C 95.9 – 99.5 °F

Rectal: 36.6 – 38.0 °C 97.9 – 100.4 °F

ThermoScan: 35.8 – 38.0 °C 96.4 – 100.4 °F

Normal ThermoScan ranges by age:

0 – 2 years 36.4 – 38.0 °C 97.5 – 100.4 °F

3 – 10 years 36.1 – 37.8 °C 97.0 – 100.0 °F

11 – 65 years 35.9 – 37.6 °C 96.6 – 99.7 °F

> 65 years 35.8 – 37.5 °C 96.4 – 99.5 °F

How to use Braun ThermoScan

1. Always make sure a new, clean lens filter is in

place to help ensure an accurate reading. The

thermometer will not function without a lens filter

attached.

2. Press the « / mem» button.

The LCD (liquid crystal display) is activated,

showing all segments.

When the ready symbol is displayed, the

thermometer is ready for use.

3. An «ear tug» straightens the ear canal to give a

clear view of the eardrum.

Children under 1 year:

Pull the ear straight back.

Children aged 1 year to adult:

Pull the ear up and back.

6012137_neu Seite 6 Freitag, 27. Mai 2005 12:58 12

4. While tugging the ear, fit the probe snugly into

the ear canal and press the activation button.

Release it, when you hear a beep. This is the

Temp Beep that confirms the end of measure-

ment.

5. Remove the thermometer from the ear canal.

The LCD displays the temperature measured.

6. Replace the lens filter after each measurement:

press the ejector button and put on a new, clean

lens filter.

7. New measurements can be taken as long as

the ready symbol is shown. If no button is

pressed within 2 minutes, the thermometer will

turn off automatically.

Temperature taking hints

• The right ear reading may differ from the reading

taken at the left ear. Therefore, always take the

temperature in the same ear.

• Sleeping on an ear may cause the temperature

to be higher than normal. Therefore, wait a few

minutes if taking temperature after sleeping.

• The ear must be free from obstructions or excess

earwax build-up to take an accurate reading.

Note: In the following situations, it is recom-

mended that you take three temperatures in the

same ear. If they differ, use the highest reading.

• Infants in the first 90 days of life.

• Children under three years of age who have

a condition such as a compromised immune

system and for whom the presence or absence

of fever is critical.

• When you are first learning to use the ear

thermometer until you are comfortable with the

technique and are obtaining consistent readings.

Important: As with any type of thermometer, slight

temperature variations (± 0.2 –0.3°C/± 0.3–0.5°F)

can occur, if consecutive measurements are taken.

Fahrenheit scale is activated, «°F» is displayed on

the LCD. Each further pressing of the activation

button toggles the scale between «°C» and «°F».

• Release the « / mem» button to return to the

ready symbol .

All temperatures stored in memory will automatically

be converted to the selected scale when displayed

on the LCD.

Care and cleaning

The probe tip is the most delicate part of the thermo-

meter.

It has to be clean and intact to ensure accurate

readings.

If the thermometer is ever accidentally used without

a lens filter, clean the probe tip as follows:

• Hold the appliance with the probe tip facing down

to prevent liquid from entering the probe tip area.

Very gently wipe the surface with a cotton swab or

soft cloth moistened with alcohol.

• After cleaning, allow at least 45 minutes drying

time before reattaching a new, clean lens filter and

taking a temperature.

If the probe tip is damaged, contact Braun.

Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the thermometer display

and exterior.

Do not use abrasive cleaners. Never submerge this

thermometer in water or any other liquid.

Store thermometer and lens filters in a dry location

free from dust and contamination and away from

direct sunlight. The ambient temperature at the

storage location should remain fairly constant and

within the range of 10 to 40 °C or 50 to 104 °F.

Additional lens filters (LF 40) are available at most

stores carrying Braun ThermoScan or at Braun

Service Centers.
