Body temperature

measurement

Normal body temperature is a “range“, not a

single point, as temperature varies from

person to person. A person’s temperature can

rise with excessive clothing, hot weather or

accelerated activity (such as crying or

exercise). In order to observe these naturally

occurring variations and determine the normal

temperature range for each member of your

family, practice taking temperatures on

yourself and healthy family members at

different times of the day to determine their

“baseline“ temperature. The normal range for

ear temperatures taken with the Braun

ThermoScan Instant Thermometer is from

35.8°C (96.4°F) to 38.0°C (100.4°F) for all

ages.

Normal body temperature also varies with

age. We have the highest temperatures when

we are younger. About our eleventh year,

body temperature begins to decrease

gradually. The elderly population has the

lowest body temperatures. For your reference,

the following chart shows normal ear

temperature ranges by ages groups for the

Braun ThermoScan Instant Thermometer:

When consulting your physician about fever,

remember to communicate that this is an ear

temperature, referrring to the appropriate ear

temperature range in the chart above. Also,

note the individual’s “baseline“ temperature as

an additional reference point.

How to use the

Braun ThermoScan

Instant Thermometer

1. Remove the thermometer from its stora

cover. If stored properly, a new lens filter will

already be in place. (See procedure on

page 7.)

Do not use thermometer without

lens filter attached.

2. De

press the on-button that is located

directly below the LCD (liquid crystal

display) to turn the power on. (See Figure 1)

• All segments on the LCD-display (Figure

6) will be shown for two seconds to

indicate a fully functional display.

• The display will indicate (not ready)

while the unit is completing self test, then,

within two seconds (ready) indicating

that the thermometer is ready to take a

temperature (Figure 7). If no temperature

is taken within two minutes, the ther-

mometer will automatically shut off.

3. Stabilise the head

. In infants, this is best

achieved by laying them flat with the head

rotated so the ear is up.

4. Perform an ear tu

g and position the

thermometer. In order to take an accurate

temperature, the thermometer must be

positioned correctly in the ear. In addition,

an “ear canal straightening“ technique must

be used to straighten the natural bend of the

canal and ensure that the thermometer has

a clear view of the eardrum.

• If you are right handed, hold the

thermometer in the right hand and take

the temperature in the right ear. If you are

left handed, hold it in the left hand and

use the left ear. This will help ensure

proper placement.

• Perform an “ear tu

g“ by using your free

hand to grasp the outer edge of the top

half of the ear and follow the steps in the

chart below. To take your own temper-

ature, an ear tug is best achieved by

wrapping your free hand around the back

of your head and grasping your ear from

behind.

Continue pulling the ear until you are

finished taking the temperature.
