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.

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 or protective cover.

• 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.

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.

• 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 normal 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 following 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 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 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.

6013341_IRT3000_NA_S4-46 Seite 6 Montag, 25. März 2002 2:27 14

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 pres-

ence 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.

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 holding 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

temperature 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 carrying

Braun ThermoScan thermometers or at Braun Service Centers.

•If you have accidentally placed the thermometer in your ear without

a lens filter in place, be sure and clean the probe (see «Care and

cleaning») and then apply a clean lens filter.
