5. About the Braun PRO 6000

The Braun ThermoScan®thermometer is a clinical grade ear thermometer indicated for the

intermittent measurement of human body temperature in patients of all ages in a professional

use environment.

Please read all instructions carefully and thoroughly before using this product.

5.1 How does Braun ThermoScan work?

The Braun PRO 6000 technology reads the infrared energy emitted

by the tympanic membrane and surrounding tissues to determine

the patient’s temperature. To help ensure accurate temperature

measurements, the sensor itself is warmed to a temperature close to

that of the human body. When the Braun ThermoScan is placed in the

ear, it continuously monitors the infrared energy until a temperature

equilibrium has been reached and an accurate measurement can be

taken. The thermometer displays an actual measured ear temperature

or clinically accurate, oral equivalent temperature that has been

validated in clinical studies by comparing IR measurements with

the oral readings from afebrile and febrile patients of various ages.

Unadjusted operating mode ear temperature readings are available via unadjusted mode, which

can be accessed using the Welch Allyn Service Tool.

5.2 PerfecTemp™technology

Speed and ease of access are two key advantages of ear thermometry.

Concerns regarding accuracy and reliability have hindered adoption

of this technology. In clinical studies, the precision of ear temperature

measurement has been shown to be inﬂuenced by ear canal anatomy

and variability in user technique. Proper probe placement can also be

a challenge, particularly with young patients that move around during

measurement. Shallow probe placement, coupled with anatomical

variabilities such as ear canals with a small circumference and poor

visibility of the tympanic membrane, can result in readings that are

low compared to core temperature because the thermometer could

be focused on the cooler outer ear canal.

The Braun PRO 6000 thermometer incorporates a new proprietary technology, PerfecTemp™

technology, that overcomes the challenges presented by ear canal anatomy and variations

in technique among clinicians. The thermometer collects information about the direction and

depth of ear probe placement as it is placed into the ear canal and automatically incorporates

this information into the temperature calculation. Incorporating information related to patient

speciﬁc anatomy and exact ear probe placement in the ear canal increases the accuracy of the

measurement as compared to core temperature, especially when probe positioning is not ideal.

5.3 ExacTemp™technology

The Braun PRO 6000 thermometer also features ExacTemp™ technology which supports

temperature measurement reliability by detecting the stability of the probe placement during the

measurement. The ExacTemp light ﬂashes during the measuring process and remains illuminated

when the measurement is complete, indicating consistent placement of the probe during the

measurement process. Consistent probe placement helps support accurate

temperature measurement.

5.4 Why measure in the ear?

Clinical studies have shown that the ear is an excellent site for

temperature measurement because temperatures taken in the ear

reﬂect the body’s core temperature1. Body temperature is regulated

by the hypothalamus2, which shares the same blood supply as the

tympanic membrane3. Changes in core body temperature are usually

seen sooner at the tympanic membrane than at other sites, such as the

rectum, mouth or under the arm. Advantages of taking temperatures at

the ear versus traditional sites:

• Axillary temperature measurements reﬂect skin temperature which

may not reliably indicate the internal body temperature.

• Rectal temperatures often lag signiﬁcantly behind internal body temperature changes, especially

at times of rapidly changing temperatures. Also, there is a risk of cross contamination.

• Oral temperatures are often inﬂuenced by eating, drinking, thermometer placement, breathing

through the mouth, or the inability of the person to close their mouth completely.

5.5 Body temperature

Normal body temperature is a range. The following table shows that this

normal range also varies by site. Therefore, measurements from different

sites, even if taken at the same time, should not be directly compared.

Normal ranges by site1:

Axillary1, 2: 95.6 - 99.4°F 35.3 - 37.4°C

Oral1, 2: 95.7 - 99.9 °F 35.4 - 37.7 °C

Rectal1, 2: 96.6 - 100.8 °F 35.9 - 38.2 °C

ThermoScan1, 2: 95.7 - 99.9 °F 35.4 - 37.7 °C

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

The following table shows normal ThermoScan ranges by age.

Normal ThermoScan ranges by age1, 2:

< 3 months 96.4 - 99.4 °F 35.8 - 37.4 °C

3 - 36 months 95.7 - 99.6 °F 35.4 - 37.6 °C

> 36 months 95.7 - 99.9 °F 35.4 - 37.7 °C

The range of normal varies from person to person and can be inﬂuenced by many factors such as

time of day, level of activity, medications and gender.

6. Contraindications

Clinical studies have shown the Braun ThermoScan thermometer can obtain accurate temperature

measurements on full term newborn, pediatric and adult patients. However, there are special situations when

an ear thermometer should not be used. These include, but may not be limited to the following situations:

• Do not use an ear thermometer if there is blood or drainage in the external ear canal.

• An ear thermometer should not be used on a patient who exhibits symptoms of an acute or chronic

inﬂammatory condition of the external ear canal.

• Common situations like the presence of moderate amounts of cerumen (ear wax) in the ear canal, otitis

media and tympanostomy tubes do not signiﬁcantly impact temperature readings. However, complete ear

canal occlusion due to cerumen (ear wax) can result in lower temperature readings.

•

Use the untreated ear if prescription ear drops or other ear medications have been placed in the ear canal.

• Patients who have deformities of the face and/or ear may not be able to have a temperature taken with an

ear thermometer.

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

6.1 What affects accuracy

Always use a new disposable probe cover for each measurement to maintain accuracy and hygiene.

The right ear measurement may differ 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 inﬂuence ear temperatures, including:

Factor Affected Not affected

Used probe cover

Ambient temperature

Wet / dirty / damaged lens

Hearing aid

Lying on pillow

Moderate cerumen (ear wax)

Otitis media (ear infections)

Tympanostomy tubes

In the event of lying on a pillow, ear plugs or hearing aid, remove the individual from the situation

and wait 30 minutes prior to taking a temperature.

English

7. Warnings and precautions

This thermometer is for professional use only.

This thermometer must only be used with genuine Braun ThermoScan probe covers.

Do not use any cleaning agent other than isopropyl or ethyl alcohol for cleaning the probe

lens window and probe as speciﬁed in the cleaning section of this manual.

Do not use any cleaning agent other than the approved list of cleaners for cleaning the

body of the thermometer.

To avoid inaccurate measurements, always attach a new, clean probe cover for each

temperature measurement.

The probe lens window must be kept clean, dry and undamaged at all times to ensure

accurate measurements. To protect the probe lens window, always keep the thermometer

in the storage cradle while transporting or when not in use.

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

Do not modify this equipment without authorization of manufacturer.

Never use the thermometer for purposes other than those it has been intended for. Please
