The BraunThermoScan® Ear 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.

Indications for use / Intended use
The BraunThermoScan® 4 Ear thermometer is intended for the
intermittent measurement of human body temperature by consumers
of all ages in a home use environment.
The hygienic lens lter is used as a sanitary barrier between the
thermometer and the ear canal.

waterproof). For cleaning and disinfecting please follow the
instructions in the “Care and cleaning”section.
DO NOT store this thermometer in temperature extremes below -25 °C
or over 55 °C (-13 °F or over 131 °F) or in excessive humidity (above 95%
non-condensing relative humidity).
If thermometer is stored in a location that is cooler or warmer than
where it will be used, allow it to acclimate to the room temperature for
10 minutes before taking a measurement.
DO NOT use the thermometer if there are signs of damage on the
probe or on the thermometer itself. If damaged, DO NOT attempt to
repair the product.

English
To avoid inaccurate measurements ALWAYS use this thermometer
with a new, clean, hygienic lens lter attached.
If the thermometer is accidentally used without a hygienic lens lter
attached, clean the lens after use (see“Care and cleaning”).
Keep disposable lens lters 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.
Temperature elevation may signal a serious illness, especially in
neonates and infants, or in adults who are old, frail, or have a
weakened immune system. Please seek professional advice
immediately when a temperature elevation occurs on persons
that are:
• Neonates and infants under 3 months (Consult your physician
immediately if the temperature exceeds 37.4 °C [99.4 °F])
• Individuals over 60 years of age (Fever may be blunted or absent in
older individuals)
• Individuals 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, paraplegia, quadriplegia,
surgical recovery)
• A transplant recipient (e.g., liver, heart, lung, kidney)

This thermometer is not intended for pre-term babies or small-for-
gestational age newborn babies (birth to 4 weeks of age). Pre-term is
dened as babies born before 37 weeks of gestation. Small-for-
gestational-age is dened as a newborn baby, born at 37 weeks or
later, with a weight below the 10th percentile for newborn babies of
the same gestational age.
This thermometer is not intended to interpret hypothermic
temperatures. If the device displays a temperature of 36.4°C (97.5°F) or
less with an LED backlight colour of green or white, and the individual
is exhibiting atypical symptoms or behaviors, contact your physician
or health care professional.
DO NOT allow children under 12 years to take their temperature
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, sti 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.

Colour-coded fever guidance
Colour-coded fever guidance helps you to better understand the
meaning of your child’s temperature with the colour indicated on the
display.The colour-coded screen displays GREEN for a normal
temperature,YELLOW for a fever, and RED for a high fever.
Colour range Reading Meaning
Green >35.7 °C - 37.4 °C
(>96.3 °F - 99.4 °F) Normal
Yellow >37.4 °C - 38.5 °C
(>99.4 °F - 101.3 °F) Fever
Red >38.5 °C
(>101.3 °F) High 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 uctuates throughout the day.Therefore, it is important to
determine normal temperature ranges.
How to use your BraunThermoScan®
Before taking the temperature, make sure the ear is free from
obstructions or excess earwax.
DO NOT attempt to take the reading without a hygienic lens lter on
– the measuring sensor must be kept protected and clean from
earwax to give accurate readings.
Change the hygienic lens lter with each use to ensure hygiene,
to keep child safe from cross-contamination and to ensure earwax
residues on the hygienic lens lter do not impact accuracy of
the reading.

1. To turn the thermometer on, push the“start”
button (4) as shown on page 1.
During an internal self-check, the display shows
all segments.
The reading shown on the screen is the last
temperature taken.
Flashing symbol of lens lter will appear if no
lens lter is attached.Temperature can be taken
only if lens lter is mounted on the probe.
The thermometer is ready to use after two beeps
and the non-ashing ear icon appears.
2. Fit the probe (3) snugly into the ear canal, then
push the “start” button (4).
One beep signals normal temperature. Audio
temperature indicator will trigger 2 consecutive
beeps when the reading is equal or higher to 37.5 °C
(99.5 °F) and 4 beeps if the reading is equal or higher
to 38.6 °C (101.4 °F).The result is shown on the
display (7).

Hygienic lens lters (LF40CA)
Use a clean hygienic lens lter with each measurement:
1. To ensure hygienic use
2. To protect your child from cross-contamination
3. To ensure earwax residues do not impact accuracy
of the reading
Earwax and dirt on the tip of the hygienic lens lter, even a
microscopic layer, can create an obstacle between the sensor and the
infrared heat emitted by the ear and impact the accuracy of the
measurement.
Temperature taking hints
• Replace the hygienic lens lter with every use to maintain hygiene
and accuracy.
• A measurement taken in the right ear may dier 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.
• External factors may inuence 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
– been recently swimming or bathing, or
– been wearing hearing aids or headphones for an extended
period of time
In these cases, remove the individual from the situation and wait 20
minutes prior to taking a temperature.
8
• If ear drops or other ear medications have been placed in the ear
canal of one ear, take the temperature in the untreated ear.
• Nursing mothers should not take a temperature measurement on
themselves or have their temperature measured by another
individual while or immediately after nursing a baby, as nursing
can aect body temperature.
Care and cleaning
The probe tip (5) is the most delicate part of the thermometer. It has to
be clean and intact to ensure accurate readings.
If the thermometer is accidentally used without a hygienic lens lter,
clean the probe tip as follows:
Very gently wipe the surface with a cotton swab or
soft cloth moistened with alcohol.
DO NOT use cleaners other than alcohol on the
probe tip. Use of other cleaners could damage
the tip.
Once the alcohol has dried completely, a new hygienic lens lter can
be put on and a temperature measurement taken. If the probe tip is
damaged, please contact Consumer Relations.
Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the thermometer display and product
exterior. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners. NEVER submerge this
thermometer in water or any other liquid.
Store the thermometer and hygienic lens lters in a dry location free
from dust and contamination and away from direct sunlight.
Additional hygienic lens lters (LF40CA) are available at major
retailers.
