Body temperature

Normal body temperature is a range. It varies by site of measurement, and it tends to decrease

with age. It also varies from person to person and  uctuates throughout the day. Therefore, it is

important to determine normal temperature ranges. This is easily done using Braun ThermoScan.

Practice taking temperatures on yourself and healthy family members to determine the normal

temperature range.

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.

The Age Precision™ feature is not intended for pre-term babies or small-for-gestational age babies.

The Age Precision™ feature is not intended to interpret hypothermic temperatures. Do not allow children

under 12 to take their temperatures unattended.

Do not modify this equipment without authorization of the manufacturer.

Parents/guardians should call the pediatrician upon noticing any unusual sign(s) or symptom(s).

For example, a child who exhibits irritability, vomiting, diarrhea, dehydration, seizure, changes in

appetite or activity, even in the absence of fever, or who exhibits a low temperature, may still need

to receive medical attention.

Children who are on antibiotics, analgesics, or antipyretics should not be assessed solely on

temperature readings to determine the severity of their illness.

Temperature elevation as indicated by Age Precision™ may signal a serious illness, especially in

adults who are old, frail, have a weakened immune system, or neonates and infants. Please seek

professional advice immediately when there is a temperature elevation and if you are taking

temperature on:

• neonates and infants under 3 months (consult your physician immediately if the temperature exceeds

37.4 °C or 99.4 °F)

• patients over 60 years of age

• patients having diabetes mellitus or a weakened immune system (e.g. HIV positive, cancer

chemotherapy, chronic steroid treatment, splenectomy)

• patients who are bedridden (e.g. nursing home patient, stroke, chronic illness, recovering from surgery)

• a transplant patient (e.g. liver, heart, lung, kidney)

Fever may be blunted or even absent in elderly patients.

This thermometer contains small parts that can be swallowed or produce a choking hazard to children.

Always keep the thermometer out of children’s reach.

Age Precision™ color-coded display

Clinical research shows the de nition of fever changes as newborns grow into little kids and little

kids grow into adults

Braun’s Age Precision™ color-coded display takes the guesswork out of interpreting temperature

for the entire family.

Simply use the Age Precision™ button to select the appropriate age setting, take a

temperature and the color-coded display will glow green, yellow or red to help you understand the

temperature reading.

How does Braun ThermoScan work?

Braun ThermoScan measures the infrared heat generated by the

eardrum and surrounding tissues. To help avoid inaccurate temperature

measurements, the probe tip is warmed to a temperature close to that of the human

body. When the Braun ThermoScan is placed in the ear, it continuously monitors the

infrared energy. The measurement is  nished and the result displayed when the

thermometer detects that an accurate temperature measurement has been taken.

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 re ect 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

re ected sooner in the ear than at other sites. Axillary temperatures measure skin

temperature and may not be a reliable indicator of core body temperature. Oral

temperatures are in uenced by drinking, eating and mouth breathing. Rectal

temperatures often lag behind changes in core body temperature and there is a risk of

cross-contamination.

Push the Power button .

During an internal self-check, the display shows all segments.

Then the last temperature taken will be displayed for 5 seconds.
