Show Product OverviewProduct description The Braun ThermoScan® thermometer has been carefully developed for accurate, safe and fast temperature measurements in the ear. The shape of the thermometer probe prevents it from being inserted too far into the ear canal which can hurt the eardrum. However, as with any thermometer, proper technique is critical to obtaining accurate temperatures. Therefore, read the instructions carefully and thoroughly. The Braun ThermoScan® thermometer is indicated for intermittent measurement and monitoring of human body temperature for people of all ages. It is intended for household use only. WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Please consult your physician if you see symptoms such as unexplained irritability, vomiting, diarrhea, dehydration, changes in appetite or activity, seizure, muscle pain, shivering, stiff neck, pain when urinating, etc. in spite of any colour of the background light or absence of fever.
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. 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. Why measure in the ear? The goal of thermometry is to measure core body temperature1, which is the temperature of the vital organs. Ear temperatures accurately reflect core body temperature2, since the eardrum shares blood supply with the temperature control center in the brain3, 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. 1. Guyton A C, Textbook of medical physiology, W.B. Saunders, Philadelphia, 1996, p 919 How to use your Braun ThermoScan
Temperature taking hints Always replace disposable lens filters to maintain accuracy and hygiene. The right ear measurement may differ from the measurement taken in the left ear. Therefore, always take the temperature in the same ear. The ear must be free from obstructions or excess earwax build-up to take an accurate reading. Memory modeThe last temperature taken is stored in its memory and will be automatically displayed for 5 seconds when it is turned on again. Night light feature The thermometer includes a convenient night light to illuminate the display in a dim environment. The light will turn on when you press any button. It will stay on until the thermometer is inactive for up to 15 seconds even after temperature is taken. Changing the temperature scale Your Braun ThermoScan® is shipped with the Celsius (°C) temperature scale activated. If you wish to switch to Fahrenheit (°F) and/or back from Fahrenheit to Celsius, proceed as follows:
Care and cleaningThe probe tip is the most delicate part of the thermometer. It must 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:
Replacing the batteries
Calibration The thermometer is initially calibrated at the time of manufacture. If this thermometer is used according to the use instructions, periodic re-adjustment is not required. If at any time you question the accuracy of the temperature measurement, please contact your authorized service center. Manufacturing date is given by the LOT number located in the battery compartment. The first three (3) digits after LOT represent the Julian date that the product was manufactured and the next two (2) digits represent the last two numbers of the calendar year the product was manufactured. The last identifiers are the letters that represent the manufacturer. An example: LOT 11614K, this product has been manufactured on the 116th day of the year 2014. Product specifications
