The lens ﬁlter indicator will blink

to signal one is needed.

To achieve accurate

measurements, make sure a

new, clean lens ﬁlter is in place

before each measurement.

Attach a new lens ﬁlter by

pushing the thermometer probe straight into the lens ﬁlter inside the box and then pulling out.

Note: The Braun ThermoScan will not work unless a lens ﬁlter is attached.

The thermometer is ready to take a temperature when the display looks like the images below.

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.

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

readings to determine the severity of their illness.

Temperature elevation may signal a serious illness, especially in neonates and infants, or in adults who are

old, frail, or have a weakened immune system. 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

99.4 °F or 37.4 °C).

• Patients over 60 years of age (Fever may be blunted or absent in older patients).

• 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).

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

Keep out of reach of children under 12 years.

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 ﬁnished and the result displayed when the thermometer detects

that an accurate temperature measurement has been taken.

During an internal self-check, the display shows all

segments. Then the last temperature taken will be

displayed for 5 seconds.

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 ﬂuctuates 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.

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 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 inﬂuenced by drinking, eating and mouth breathing. Rectal

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

risk of cross-contamination.
