Thank you for purchasing the Braun Forehead thermometer (BFH175). The Forehead

thermometer is a high quality product incorporating the latest technology and tested in

accordance with international standards. With its unique technology, the Forehead

thermometer can provide a stable, heat-interference-free reading with each

measurement. The instrument performs a self-test every time it is switched on to always

guarantee the accuracy of measurements.

Please read these instructions carefully before using this product and keep the

instructions and the thermometer in a safe place.

Indications for Use

The Braun BFH175 Forehead Thermometer is a non-sterile, reusable, clinical

thermometer intended for the intermittent determination of human body temperature

in a touch mode using the center of the forehead as the measurement site on people

of all ages.

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

your physician.

Temperature elevation may signal a serious illness, especially in adults who are old,

frail, have a weakened immune system, or in neonates and infants. Please seek

immediate professional advice when a temperature elevation occurs on persons

whom are:

• Neonates and infants under 3 months (Consult your physician immediately

if the temperature exceeds 99.4 °F (37.4 °C)

• Indviduals over 60 years of age (Fever may be blunted or absent

in older individuals)

• Indviduals having diabetes mellitus or a weakened immune system

(e.g., HIV positive, cancer chemotherapy, chronic immunosuppressant treatment,

splenectomy)

• Individuals who are bedridden (e.g., nursing home patient, stroke,

chronic illness, surgical recovery, paraplegia, quadriplegia)

• A transplant recipient (e.g., liver, heart, lung, kidney)

It is important to know each individual’s normal temperature when they are well. This

is the only way to accurately diagnose a fever. Take multiple readings when healthy

to determine normal temperature.

This thermometer is not intended for pre-term babies or small-for-gestational-age

babies. Pre-term is deﬁned as babies with a calendar age of less than 37 weeks.

Small-for-gestational-age is deﬁned as a baby born at 37 weeks or later, with a

weight below the 10th percentile for babies of the same gestational age.

This thermometer is not intended to interpret hypothermic temperatures. If the

device displays a temperature of 97.5°F (36.4°C) or less with an LED backlight color

of green or white, and the individual is exhibiting atypical symptoms or behaviors,

contact your physician or health care professional.

DO NOT allow children to take their temperatures unattended.

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., even in the absence of fever.

Even in the absence of fever, those who exhibit a normal 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.

DO NOT modify this equipment without the authorization of the manufacturer.

Why use the Braun Forehead thermometer?

Measurement in less than 2 seconds

The innovative infrared technology allows measurement of

forehead temperature in under 2 seconds.

Accurate and reliable

Due to advanced technology, the Forehead thermometer

captures the heat naturally given off by the forehead to

calculate oral equivalent temperature

Easy to use

The Forehead thermometer poses less risk. A measurement

can be taken even while a child is sleeping.

Design is easy to hold and use.

The Forehead thermometer is safer to use on a child than a

rectal thermometer and is easier to use than other methods.

Safe and hygienic

Helps minimize spreading of germs.

Completely safe for use on children and adults.

Auto-Display memory

The last reading is automatically displayed for 2 seconds

when the unit is switched ON.

How the Braun Forehead thermometer works

The Forehead thermometer measures infrared energy radiated from the skin and

surrounding tissue on the center of the forehead. Temperature readings obtained from

the center of the forehead will provide the greatest accuracy with this thermometer.

The Forehead thermometer has been clinically tested and proven to be safe and

accurate when used in accordance with its operating instruction manual.

Normal temperature is a range. The range of normal also varies from person to person

and ﬂuctuates throughout the day. It is therefore important to determine your normal

temperature range. A person’s normal temperature range tends to decrease with age.

The best way to determine your normal temperature range is to use the thermometer

when feeling well. Record readings twice a day (early morning and late afternoon). Take

the average of the two temperatures to calculate normal oral equivalent temperature.

2 sec

English

A child’s normal temperature can be as high as 99.9°F or as low as 97.0°F.

Re-measure with a standard digital thermometer for conﬁrmation, especially

on infants.

Temperature guidance feature

Temperature guidance helps you to better understand the meaning of your child’s

temperature with the color indicated on the display. The color-coded screen displays

GREEN for a normal temperature, YELLOW for a fever, and RED for a high fever.

Temperature taking hints

It is important to know each individual’s normal temperature when they are well. This

is the only way to accurately diagnose a fever. Take multiple readings when healthy to

determine normal temperature. Re-measure with a standard digital thermometer for

conﬁrmation. This thermometer displays an oral equivalent temperature reading. Oral

readings are approximately 0.9 F (0.5 C) lower than a rectal digital measurement.

Individual must be inside for 30 minutes before taking a measurement.

Note: Individual and the thermometer should be in the same ambient temperature for

at least 10 minutes.

ALWAYS hold the thermometer and the forehead steady when taking a reading.

DO NOT move the thermometer until you hear the ﬁnal beep.

DO NOT take a measurement while or immediately after nursing a baby.

Individuals should not drink, eat, or be physically active before/while taking the

measurement. Remove hats and wait 10 minutes before taking a measurement.

Before taking a measurement, remove dirt or hair from the forehead area.

Wait 10 minutes after cleaning before taking measurement.

ALWAYS take the temperature exactly as directed. Temperature results may vary if

positioned in the wrong location.

Temperature taking hints (continued)

In the following situations it is recommended that three temperatures in the same

location be taken and the highest one taken as the reading:

• Newborn infants in their ﬁrst 100 days of life.

• Children under three years of age with a compromised immune system and for

whom the presence or absence of fever is critical.

• When the user is learning how to use the thermometer for the ﬁrst time until

he/she has familiarized himself/herself with the instrument and obtains

consistent readings.

General precautions:

• Remove any sweat prior to measuring with a dry cloth.

• Avoid any cooling or warming cloths on the forehead for at least 30 minutes

prior to measuring.

• DO NOT take temperature measurements over scar tissue, open sores,

or abrasions.

• Keep the measurement sensor and lens clean. Avoid directly touching the

sensor or lens.

• ALWAYS store the thermometer with the protective cap in place to prevent dirt

and scratches from damaging the device.

• Make sure to remove the protective cap before taking a measurement and to

put the cap back on after using the thermometer.
