ThermoScan

TheBraunThermoScan Thermometerhasbeen carefullydevelopedfor

accurate, safe and fast temperature measurements in the ear. The

shapeof the thermometer prevents itfrom beinginserted toofar into the

ear canal to damage the eardrum.

However, as with any thermometer, proper technique is critical to

obtaining accurate temperatures. Therefore, read the use

instructions carefully and thoroughly.

Important

• The operating ambient temperature range for this thermometer is

10 °C - 40 °C (50 - 104 °F).

• Do not expose the thermometer to temperature extremes (below

–20 °C/4 °F or over 50 °C/122 °F) nor excessive humidity

(> 95 % RH).

• 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.

• Keep lens filters out of reach of children.

• This thermometer is intended for household use only.

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

consultation with your physician.

How does BraunThermoScan work?

BraunThermoScan 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.

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 and more accurately

in the ear than at other sites.

• Axillary temperatures only measure skin temperature and

therefore, are not a reliable indicator of core body temperature.

• Oral temperatures are influenced by drinking, eating and

breathing.

• Rectal temperatures lad behind changes in core body

temperature and there is a risk of cross-contamination.

English

Body temperature

• Normal body temperature is a range. The following table shows

that this normal range also varies by site. Therefore, readings

from different sites should not be directly compared.

Normal ranges by site:

Axillary: 34.7 - 37.3 °C 94.5 - 99.1 °F

Oral: 35.5 - 37.5 °C 95.9 - 99.5 °F

Rektal: 36.6 - 38.0 °C 97.9 - 100.4 °F

ThermoScan: 35.8 - 38.0 °C 96.4 - 100.4 °F

• As well, a person’s normal temperature range tends to descrease

with age. The following table shows normal ThermoScan ranges

by age.

Normal ThermoScan ranges by age:

0 – 2 years 36.4 - 38.0 °C 97.5 - 100.4 °F

3 – 10 years 36.1 - 37.8 °C 97.0 - 100.0 °F

11 – 65 years 35.9 - 37.6 °C 96.6 - 99.7 °F

> 65 years 35.8 - 37.5 °C 96.4 - 99.5 °F

• 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 member’s normal temperature ranges. This is

easily done using Braun ThermoScan. Practise taking temperatures

on yourself and healthy family members to determine their normal

temperature ranges.

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.

How to use BraunTherrmoScan

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.

2. Press the «



`/ mem» button

The LCD (liquid crystal display) is activated,

showing all segments.

When the ready symbol is activated,

showing all segments.

3. An «ear tug» straightens the ear canal to give

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.

4 5

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

ear canal 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. Repleace the lens filter after each measurement:

press the ejector button and put on a new, clean

lens filter.

7. New measurements can be taken as long as the

ready symbol is shown. If no button is

pressedwithin2 minutes,thethermometer willturn

off automatically.

Note: In the following situations, it is recom-

mended 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 (± 0.2-0.3 °C /

± 0.3-0.5 °F) can occur, if consecutive

measurements are taken.

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.

• Sleeping on an ear may cause the temperature to

be higher than normal. Therefore, wait a few

minutes if taking temperature after sleeping.

• The ear must be free from obstructions or excess

earwax build-up to take an accurate reading.

Memory mode

The last temperature taken before the thermometer

powers down is stored in memory. To enter the

memory mode, press the



`/ mem button.

Even in memory mode, new temperatures can be

taken provided that the ready symbol is shown.

IRT 3020

The stored temperature is displayed along with the

MEM symbol. To quit the memory mode, press the

Care and cleaning

The probe tip is the most delicate part of the thermometer.

It has to 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:

• Hold the appliance with the probe tip facing down to prevent liquid

from entering the probe tip area. Very gently wipe the surface with a

cotton swab of soft cloth moistened with alcohol.

• After cleaning, allow at least 45 minutes drying time before

reattaching a new, clean lens filter and taking a temperature.

If the probe tip is damaged, contact Braun.

Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the thermometer display and exterior.

Do not use abrasive cleaners. Never submerge this thermometer in

water or any other liquid.

Store thermometer and lens filters in a dry location free from dust and

contamination and away from direct sunlight. The ambient temperature

at the storage location should remain fairly constant and within the

range of 10 °C to 40 °C or 50 °F to 104 °F.

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

Braun ThermoScan or at Braun Service Centers.
