English

The Braun ThermoScan thermometer has been carefully developed for accurate,

safe and fast human body 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, please read all instructions carefully and

thoroughly before using this product and keep the manual handy for future

reference.

Important

• The operating ambient temperature range for this thermometer is 50 °F to 104 °F

(10 °C to 40 °C).

• Do not expose the thermometer to temperature extremes below - 4 °F or over 122 °F

( - 20 / 50 °C) or excessive humidity ( > 95 % RH non-condensing).

• 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.

• If the thermometer is ever accidentally used without a lens filter attached, clean

the lens (see «Care and cleaning»).

• Always store thermometer in travel case, protective cover or plastic case.

• Basic safety precautions should always be observed, especially when using

the thermometer on or near children and disabled persons.

• Keep lens filters out of reach of children.

• This thermometer is intended for home use only.

• Use of this thermometer is not intended as a substitute for consultation with

your physician.

• Do not leave thermometer or lens filters with infants or children at any time.

How does Braun ThermoScan work?

The Braun ThermoScan thermometer measures the infrared heat

generated by the eardrum and surrounding tissue. To help ensure

accuracy, the thermometer «scans» by taking 8 measurements in

just one second and displaying the highest temperature.

The displayed ThermoScan temperature is the actual measured

ear canal temperature plus a mathematical adjustment to approximate

the familiar oral range. However, this is not necessarily the same as

an oral temperature measured at the same time.

Why measure in the ear?

The goal of thermometry is to measure core body temperature,

which is the temperature of the vital organs. Clinical studies have

shown that the ear is an excellent site to measure body temperature,

since ear temperatures reflect core body temperature. The eardrum

shares blood supply with the temperature control center in the brain,

the hypothalamus, allowing changes in body temperature to be

reflected sooner in the ear than at other sites.

6012136_IRT_3000_NA 28.10.2005 8:20 Uhr Seite 4

• Axillary temperatures reflect skin temperature which may not indicate core body

temperature.

• Oral temperatures are influenced by drinking, eating and breathing through the

mouth.

• Rectal temperatures often lag behind changes in core body temperature and there

is a risk of cross-contamination.

Body temperature

Normal body temperature is a range. The following table1shows that ranges of nor-

mal also vary by site. Therefore, readings from different sites, even if taken at the

same time, should not be directly compared.

• Also, a person’s normal temperature range tends to decrease with age. The follow-

ing table shows normal ThermoScan ranges by age.

Normal ThermoScan temperature ranges2

• 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

members’ normal temperature ranges. This is easily done using Braun ThermoScan.

Practice taking temperatures on yourself and healthy family members to determine

their normal temperature ranges.

Note: When consulting your physician, communicate that the ThermoScan tempera-

ture is a temperature measured in the ear and if possible, note the individual’s normal

ThermoScan temperature range as additional reference.

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 (see Changing the lens

filter).

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.

6012136_IRT_3000_NA 28.10.2005 8:20 Uhr Seite 6

To help ensure an accurate temperature

reading, use the following technique: 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.

3. Perform an ear tug to straighten the ear canal.

This gives the thermometer 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.

An ear tug is best performed by using your free

hand to grasp the outer edge of the top half of

the ear. To take your own temperature, wrap

your free hand around the back of your head

and grab your ear from behind.

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

the ear canal as far as possible and press the

activation button. Release it when you hear a

beep. This is the Temp Beep that confirms the

end of measurement.

5. Remove the thermometer from the ear canal.

The LCD displays the temperature measured.

6. Replace the lens filter after each measure-

ment: press the ejector button and put on a

new, clean lens filter.

7. A new measurement 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.

• The ear must be free from obstructions or excess earwax build-

up to take an accurate reading.

• External factors may influence ear temperatures, including when

an individual has:

- been lying on one ear or the other

- had their ears covered

- been exposed to very hot or very cold temperatures, or

- been recently swimming or bathing.

In these cases, remove the individual from the situation and wait

20 minutes prior to taking a temperature.

Note: In the following situations, it is recommended 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 ( ± 0.3 - 0.5 °F / ± 0.2 - 0.3 °C) can occur, if con-

secutive measurements are taken.

atures.

When pressing the /mem button, the display

shows the memory cell number (e.g. MEM 1).

When releasing the /mem button, the stored

temperature is displayed.

Each time the /mem button is pressed, a new

memory cell is displayed (up to MEM 8).

An empty memory cell shows «- - - °F».

Only the first empty memory cell will be displayed.

To quit the memory mode, press the /mem

button again after reaching MEM 8 or «- - - °F».

Memory clear

Changing the temperature scale

This thermometer is shipped with the Fahrenheit temperature

scale activated. If you wish to switch to Celsius (°C), proceed as

follows:

• Turn on the thermometer.

(If it is already turned on, make sure it is not in memory mode.)

• Press the /mem button and keep it pressed. Then press and

release the activation button to switch over to the «change

temperature scale» mode.

• By pressing the activation button again, the Celsius scale is

activated, «°C» 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.

Changing the lens filter

The thermometer is supplied with a lens filter in place. To assure

accuracy and sanitary practice, Braun recommends replacing the

lens filter after each use. To install a new lens filter, first remove

the one in place by pressing the lens filter ejector. Check the lens

for any damage. Then take a new lens filter from the box, and hold-

ing it by its edges, slide it onto the probe until it snaps in place.

Caution: Do not touch the tip of the probe or lens filters

when installing. Fingerprints, ear wax, dust and other soiling

compounds reduce the transparency, resulting in lower tem-

perature readings (see also Care and cleaning).

Should you run out of lens filters and need to take a temperature,

you may use the following lens filter cleaning procedure:

• Clean the lens filter without removing it from the thermometer

with a soft cloth or cotton swab moistened with alcohol.

Do not use hot or boiling water.

• Dry completely with a soft cloth before reusing.

• Replace lens filter as soon as possible with a new one (LF 40 ).

• Additional lens filters (LF 40 ) are available at most stores
